PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is a standardized client-server environment that allows a software assembly to be booted from a network on PXE-enabled clients.
A PXE Boot tool is a network boot software designed to solve the problem of booting multiple computers from a single image file on the network.
1. To maintain or install a system on multiple computers without inserting a CD or USB into each one individually, you can use a network-based approach. This involves setting up a network share on a server or a computer with a stable internet connection, and then using a tool like a network installation manager or a deployment tool to push the installation or updates to the other computers on the network. This way, you can manage and update multiple computers simultaneously, saving time and effort.
2. In such a scenario, you may need to resort to alternative methods to get your computer up and running. One option is to create a bootable USB drive or CD/DVD with a Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu, and boot from it. This allows you to access your computer's file system and potentially troubleshoot or repair the issue preventing normal booting.
3. You can boot up multiple client computers within a LAN even when they don't have available CD-ROM drives or USB ports, or when you don't have a CD or USB image available.
