pxe-bootuefiwindows
I can't get Windows to change the uEFI boot order to PXE boot first from within windows. I'm trying to automate the system so that it PXE boots every time, so I can control the boot option. I've tried BCDEdit:
bcdedit /set {fwbootmgr} DEFAULT <uuid of nic>
Is there anything like efibootmgr for windows?
IPMI does not support ordering of physical Ethernet interfaces for PXE boot. The latest release of IPMI 2.0 supports multiple IP addresses (IPMI 2.0 version 1.1, February 2014) for a single physical Ethernet interface and none of the free IPMI tools support that.
It may be possible to hack a solution where you disable all IP addresses except the one you want and PXE boot would happen using the single available IP. I have never seen this done.
What module server are you using? It is very, very rare there are multiple physical Ethernets on a server that support IPMI. If the server vendor has gone to that much trouble and expense is there an OEM command that implements the function you want?
