Unable to pull image from PXE server

Thread needs solution

Looking for any assistance or help.

-I have successfully created an image for a Del Latitude e5430 and am running in to a problem getting the image to push from the Snap Deploy/PXE server to any laptops I try to image. (The image DOES have the ESP partition)
-I have setup a user initiated deployment with that image.
-I change boot settings in laptop to boot from onboard NIC (legacy boot) since UEFI doesn't offer this by default. Once this change is made I can then successfully boot to the Snap Deploy Agent via PXE and select the image I created.
-The problem comes immediately after I select the image to begin the loading process. The dialog box from Snap Deploy Agent comes up as if the transfer is beginning and immediately closes and the laptop restarts.
-After the restart happens I'm left with a "Invalid partition table" error message and no OS booting due to the MBR or I guess since it's UEFI the GPT. I can change the boot back to UEFI, but at at this point now the OS booting is shot and delivers a "no bootable devices" error message.

At a total loss here.

Anyone out there have any suggestions or ideas before I start reformatting the laptops that now are unable to boot to anything?

This issue has now been RESOLVED!

I recreated the template, but made one change that resolved it. Changed the "Network Utilization" setting in the template wizard from Multicast to Unicast.
