hi,

had a look into your word file.

You have create your own image after adding the software depot.

please run:

Add-EsxSoftwareDepot c:\update-from-esxi5.5-5.5_update02-2068190.zip


New-EsxImageProfile -CloneProfile "ESXi-5.5.0-20140902001-standard" -name "myESXi550" -vendor "myCompany"
New-DeployRule –Name “test” –Item “myESXi550” –AllHosts


Add-DeployRule –DeployRule  “test”


That should work. 🙂



Greetings

Falk

Based on you screenshots, you shouldn't have an DHCP issue.

So we have to check the vCenter side:

- Is the AutoDeploy Service running?

- Is a local firewall running on the vcenter/autopdeploy server? Check if port 6501 is allowed.

Please share the content of the tramp-file in your tftp-root directory. The given IP should be correct.

Please share the the output of Get-DeployRuleSet

thank you

Falk

The issue is with the autodeployed image. Redeploy the image.
