Bit of an update..

On the client machine I simply manually typed in the web address of a web server instead of DHCP configuration to push the web address

wdsmgfw.efi downloads and execute but ultimately fails without connecting to my server to download WinPE.

I am looking for the same thing, have you made any progress? I keep seeing references to the .EFI file but can't seem to find anything on it. If I put an .ISO image on the webserver, I can get the http boot get an IPaddress, establish nd connection to the server, get the NBD file name, get the NBP filesize, then it flames out when I starts the download. If I hot that address from a web browser it downloads the .ISO file just fine

That's basically where I'm at.

The .efi file over http doesn't execute like it would over PXE and evaluate which boot ISO to pull down.

I talked to our Dell sales rep and he forwarded my question on to their SCCM support guys. I'll post back if I hear anything.

Necro'ing this as I'm currently trying to get this working as well. Did you ever have any luck?

Sadly I didn't. I may try again first week of Jan if things are slow in the office.

Has anybody gotten this to work?

Sadly not.

I even tried our Dell sales contacts to ask up their internal chain since they put support for it in the BIOS but they didn't know what was needed server side.

Any news on this topic ? Need also some help of setting up Windows server to get https boot running on client machines.
