network boot set up

[Thall860]

I want to set up a network boot server at work for our testing software we use for PC diagnosis. Currently we have a CD drive for each PC we want to test and CD's floating everywhere.

I want to simply things by setting up a server with the test software .iso file and have all the PC's we need to test to boot/load from there.

I have heard of PXE boot but am not that familiar with it or how to set it up.

Thanks

PXE booting is exactly what you are looking for. Some instructions (though not simple) are here.

Can this be done in windows using TFTPD32?

I dont know anything about linux and this needs to be a quick deploy.

Yes, this could be done through windows. Google is your friend for guides.
