WDS Strangeness - Error 0xc0000023 and Server IP: 0.0.0.0
First of all you don't need 2 wds servers. I expect you are configuring DHCP options to point to each. Remove DHCP options and add an IP helper on the switch to look t to one server and bios or uefi will be selected on capabilities of system being booted.
Additionally if you're really must use 2 wds servers make sure you have both x86 and x64 boot images on wds server otherwise even x64 won't work with x86 components there.

Which we do and it used to work.

This I can not do in our infrastructure. Network is not under my control and network will not allow changes to the network if we can not show that it is absolutely necessary. In this case it is not, because this used to work and it stopped working a couple of days ago, I am still hunting for the reason.

Thank you Chris.
Kind regards.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I know it's been years....but I am just now running into this problem myself. Here is the situation.
I use WDS to deploy Windows 10 images over 3 different subnets. All 3 used to work just fine regardless of BIOS or UEFI. Now, 2 out of 3 subnets work with both normally, but one of the subnets only works using BIOS, UEFI booting gives the same error that you were experiencing. I asked our Network Admins if any changes had been made and they claim nothing changed. I didn't touch the WDS server during the time it worked and stopped working, so I'm at a point where I just can't get by this error when trying to PxE boot using UEFI. I can't even find 1 solution online for this either...
If you figured out the problem, I'd appreciate it if you could share what you did to resolve it. Thanks.
