You're working with a lab setup involving Windows Deployments and network booting. The issue involves a Gen 2 VM that fails to load an image after the initial network boot, despite having DHCP enabled. The environment includes DC and DHCP on the same server, WDS and MDT on the same server, and a pool of 10 IPs for booting. The problem occurs after about 30 seconds when the VM can't load the image. You've noted that changing DHCP options and pointing to a specific WIM server resolves the issue on a Gen 1 VM. Your goal is to determine if similar steps can help the Gen 2 VM network boot successfully.
