Event Information According to Microsoft :

Cause :

This event is logged when an error occurred while trying to access Boot.SDI under REMINST\\Boot share.

Resolution :

Reinitialize the server

Windows Deployment Services relies on the RemoteInstall folder for configuration information and access to images. If the RemoteInstall folder is missing files, Windows Deployment Services will fail. To resolve this issue, use the following procedure to reinitialize the server.

To perform these procedures, you must either be a member of the local Administrators group or have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To reinitialize the server:
  1. Open the Command Prompt window.
  2. At the command prompt, run wdsutil /uninitialize-server .
  3. At the command prompt, run wdsutil /initialize-server /reminst:<path> , where <path> is the path where you would like the RemoteInstall folder to be located.
Verify :

To perform this procedure, you must either be a member of the local Administrators group or have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To verify that the BCD file has been generated correctly and is accessible:
  1. Locate the following file on the Windows Deployment Service server: RemoteInstall\Tmp\<arch>.{<GUID>}.bcd, where <arch> is x86, x64, ia64, or x86x64 and <GUID> is 32 characters. Note : By default, the RemoteInstall folder is on drive C.
  2. In the Command Prompt window, run the following command for the file you located in step 1: bcdedit.exe /enum /all /store: <Drive>:\RemoteInstall\Boot\<arch>\default.bcd. The output should contain the contents of the BCD file.
  3. Verify that the output contains entries for each of your boot images.
