Why each option
PXE boot automation requires a TFTP server to serve boot files and DHCP option 66 to direct clients to that server.
A DNS PTR record provides reverse DNS lookup and is not a required component of the PXE boot process.
The domain controller name is not needed for PXE boot, which operates at the pre-OS network level before any domain authentication takes place.
A TFTP server hosts the network boot program and boot files that PXE clients download during startup. It is a mandatory component because PXE uses TFTP as the file transfer protocol for delivering the initial bootloader.
DHCP option 66 specifies the TFTP boot server hostname or IP address, enabling the DHCP server to automatically direct PXE clients to the correct server. Without it, clients cannot discover the TFTP server and the automated deployment cannot proceed.
A web server hosting OS images may be used in advanced deployment workflows like WDS or MDT, but it is not a core requirement of the PXE boot process itself.
