ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method and computer program product for detecting and communicating boot failures in a client device. A Dynamic Host Control Protocol server is configured to monitor Dynamic Host Control Protocol communications from one or more client devices, wherein the client devices are configured to boot from local media. A boot request is received from a client device in response to a failure of the client device to boot from the local media. Responsive to receiving the boot request, a determination is made that a boot failure has occurred on the client device.
