We upgraded from SMP 7.1 SP2 to 7.5. I am using jobs/tasks for deploying images. Everything worked well under 7.1, but now with 7.5 the Reboot to pxe task is not behaving like it used to. I use my existing jobs/tasks for image deployments. With the Reboot to task that is set to reboot to pxe; the computer reboots into pxe and receives the initial deployment menu instead of the imaging job that I scheduled for this particular client. The job status says 'queued' and 'start pending'. I removed all my jobs/tasks and re-created them thinking maybe something going from 7.1 to 7.5 messed up my jobs/tasks. But the behavior stays the same.
On 7.1 I can schedule an image deployment job to a particular client, it will reboot to the preboot env. through pxe, it will receive the winpe env. and get the image I setup within that job. Now it reboots to pxe and somehow bypasses the job and gets initial deployment menu. Since this client is managed and I set initial deployment for only un-managed computers for now. PXE errors and boots to the hdd. If I remove the client computer from the console (un-managed) PXE will work, but go to initial deployment instead of running the job I scheduled. Any ideas in this change of behavior?
I also noticed that the job never fails and stops on its own, the job keeps recycling until the client fullfills it's job.
