System Center Configuration Manger 2012 SP1 PXE boot

pxe-bootsccmsccm-2012system-centerwds

I am trying to set up my System Center Configuration manager server to be a PXE server for client deployments but I am having no luck in getting it to work. It seems to bypass SCCM and boot right from WDS. I get a Windows 8 style blue screen saying:

"The Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file from the PXE server does not contain a valid operating system entry (error 0x0000098)."

I have pxe boot enabled on the distribution point and boot images. I have a Windows 8 image in SCCM. I have a boundary group set up. All the boot images and OS images are deployed to the DP. Can anyone think of something I'm missing?

After deploying your boot image, operating system image and your task sequence, as mentioned by MDMoore313, you have to wait for a short period of time before you can do a PXE boot of your boot image and launch your tak sequence.

One way to check if your deployment is complete is to head to Monitoring, then Distribution Status and Content Status. Double-click on the image you're deploying and ensure the deployment status is green.
