I've always created our base images in VMware workstation. Now that we're migrating to win10/UEFI/secure boot, I wanted those base images to be created with UEFI enabled.
When doing so, PXE booting slows to a point it's not usable in order to create the image. I tried changing NIC from e1000e to e1000 and no change. I have no slowness when creating images with legacy BIOS on same client workstation.
The first part of the PXE boot completes ok (loading boot.sdi), but then it comes to a crawl when loading boot.wim. I gave up after an hour of waiting.
I found this similar post over the vSphere forum & this old workstation post
We're using symantec/altiris to PXE boot to winPE10.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or anything I could try. Thanks!
Did you ever figure this out?
edit .vmx file and set
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
worked for me. you may also try
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
