Use PXE to chainboot iPXE. Then have iPXE load what you need too.

Is this Windows machine standalone or is there a router involved, because theoretically you could use that to handle all the PXE booting aspects.

The advantage of iPXE is that it is more flexible than straight PXE and can even boot into Windows or mount iSCSI drives to boot from. I've found it a lot easier to deal with as compared to straight PXE.


As long as you can send an image over tftp and then can call back to a web server with iPXE you can do just about anything.
