Solution:



I do the following -

1) Go to Unprovisioned computers and clear out the PXE adverts for those systems.
2) Go to All Systems collection and update collection membership. I'll often find an "unknown" or two in there. I delete these, update collection membership again.

90% of the time, I'm able to PXE again. Otherwise, I simply need to wait 5 or 10 minutes and the issue goes away.

Sure wish I knew the exact solution for that issue. From what I understand, there's a Regkey in WDS that can be set to delete the PXE cache, but its not recommended to make that change in Prod.
