By letting network administrators manage and configure client PCs over the network, PXE can help reduce the cost of ownership and simplify client management. Administrators no longer need to visit clients to install a new operating system or update an existing system. The client can boot from the network and have the new software installed, regardless of the condition of the local hard drive. Also, booting from the network guarantees that the client boots from a clean, uninfected system, so local media can be checked before startup. Several client management products use these features to reduce the cost and complexity of supporting client PCs.
