Issues addressed in KB4567007 Update

According to Microsoft, after updating to Microsoft Configuration Manager 2002, operating system deployment task sequences fail during the PXE boot process. This occurs more frequently in environments with a large volume of packages in the task sequence.

In addition, the SMSPXE.log file will show a time difference of 30 seconds or more between the corresponding Operation: Boot Request and Operation: Boot Reply entries. This can be resolved by installing the hotfix KB 4567007.

The SCCM hotfix 4567007 also resolves the Task Sequence Dependencies step of a task sequence dependency step, which may take considerably longer than expected when multiple dependencies are present.
