PXE Specification

The PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) specification enables computers to start up and load an operating system over a network rather than from a local drive. It is commonly used in large organizations to deploy operating systems efficiently across many machines. PXE allows a computer to communicate with a network server during startup, retrieve necessary boot files, and load an OS or network-based tools. This process streamlines system installation, maintenance, and recovery, providing a standardized and automated way to manage multiple computers without relying solely on physical media like CDs or USB drives.
