We are moving from 2017.3 to 2018.1. We configure a windows agent with the PXE stuff turned on. We deploy these agents to specific devices and all other devices do not have them turned on. This way self electing subnet services can only elect these specific devices to serve as the PXE rep.
After recompiling the agents, ensuring the SESS PXE was turned on for the subnet, we noticed that the device was missing the 2 services required to act as a PXE rep. We reinstalled twice and the services did not return. We also checked the registry to make sure it was not marked as being in an error state and the score for this device was already at 100.
There is something broken with the agent install, which is failing to install the required services. Everything I have checked so far has not led to a root cause of the failure.
