Here is the way how you delete the options on DHCP using Netsh.

Scenario

The DHCP server and the PXE server are on different machines, however an attempt is made to connect to the same machine. DHCP server has the following options set:

* #60 = Client Identifier (set to "PXEClient")

* #66 = Boot Server Host Name

* #67 = BootFile Name

Solution

Remove these options from DHCP server. This can be done as follows:

1. Hit Start -> Run and type netsh

2. Issue the following commands:

netsh>dhcp

netsh>dhcp>server \\[server_machine_name] or [IP address]

netsh dhcp>delete optiondef 60

netsh dhcp>delete optiondef 66

netsh dhcp>delete optiondef 67

You can use the command show optiondef to get the list of currently active options.
