Windows RIS Server Does Not Respond to DHCP PXE Requests (6333612)

Description: If the first interface on a Windows RIS server is not configured as the provisioning interface, the RIS server does not respond to DHCP PXE requests from target hosts. This issue occurs because the BINLSVC/RIS service on the Windows boot and install server listens on the first interface that is configured at the time of system boot. If the first interface is not configured as the provisioning interface, the RIS server cannot respond to DHCP PXE requests by target hosts. For additional information, see Issues Related to PXE/DHCP/BINLSVC.

The following error message is displayed.
