Make sure the VM has at least 4GB of RAM.
Make sure the NIC adapter type is E1000.
Make sure your DHCP is properly configured to handle UEFI PXE requests:

Review the TFTP logs in the KACE SDA, to determine if the KACE SDA is being contacted or not.

I'm verifying the DHCP settings again and looking at the logs but so far everything is correct.
You are able to PXE into the K2000 out of VMware correct? - agahlbeck 4 years ago-
Correct, be aware of:

This is our DHCP config that works for all workstations and work on VMware before we switched to efi. Any ideas?
# New PXE boot for KACE
next-server ;
filename "ipxe.efi";
option tftp-server-name "";
option bootfile-name "ipxe.efi"; - agahlbeck 4 years ago -
next-server; ??
And what about the KACE IP?
See the examples outlined here:

Channeler,
Thank you for the response, I have the IPs in the config. That current config works with PXE on anything except through VMware. I am reviewing the link. Thanks again for the help. - agahlbeck 4 years ago-
It looks like a VM configuration issue....
see:

Do you see entries inside the TFTP log being printed when you try to boot? - Channeler 4 years ago-
Thank you for the help but not sure what's wrong with the VM config. Also not seeing anything on the TFTP logs. - agahlbeck 4 years ago

If the TFTP logs are empty or idle, your DHCP is not sending the Devices\VMs to the KACE SDA at all. - Channeler 4 years ago
