PXE Forge

PXE Forge is a Windows PXE boot server with a full graphical interface. It lets you deploy Windows and Linux operating systems across your network directly from ISO files — no Windows Deployment Services, no Active Directory, and no server license required. It runs on any Windows 10 or 11 workstation. PXE Forge includes a built-in RFC-compliant DHCP server, TFTP server, and HTTP file server. It automatically detects the client type and serves the correct boot file — Windows UEFI clients get Microsoft bootmgr, Linux UEFI clients get iPXE, and BIOS clients get undionly.kpxe. No manual configuration required. Key features include driver slipstreaming via DISM, an 8-step unattended install wizard that generates a complete unattend.xml without any XML editing, Windows 11 TPM and Secure Boot bypass via LabConfig registry injection, post-install program staging using the OEMOEM OEM folder convention, and Hyper-V VM integration for controlling virtual machines directly from the app. An ISO cache system copies the full ISO to a local writable folder on first use, allowing you to drop in unattend.xml, preseed.cfg, or kickstart files without modifying the original ISO. All DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP events are shown in a real-time boot log inside the GUI. Supported platforms include Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2016 through 2025, Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and CentOS Stream. Both UEFI and BIOS clients are supported. PXE Forge includes a 5-boot trial with all features unlocked. A permanent hardware-locked license is available for a one-time payment.
