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.
