Netboot image is not available as a boot option.

Symptoms

I have created a NBI file and converted it to a WIM file and created a task sequence and deployed the task sequence to a collection of Macs. The problem is that the NetBoot image option is not appearing as a boot option on the target Macs.

Please check `pma_isv_netboot_service.log' for the following errors:

     W /PmaUtils:32916:556c/ Could not construct WMI namespace: host = '', site code = '

    D /pma_netboot_service:32916:556c/ Stop service

Cause

Check C:\Windows\Logs for pma_netboot_config.log.

If there is no such file it means that NetBoot Server Configuration Utility has failed to configure or has not been run yet.
