I'm trying to boot PCs from a Windows 2012R2 WDS server in UEFI mode. it works fine BIOS mode, but I want to boot from UEFI mode.

I have change the boot setting to UEFI mode; secure boot in BIOS.

I am using Dell laptops and when I try to boot from NIC IPv4 under UEFI boot shows as below.

Checking Media Presence........... Media Present... Start PXE over IPv4.
