· failed to copy D:\RemoteInstall\SMSTempBootFiles\MPB00004\WINDOWS\Boot\PXE\pxeboot.com to D:\RemoteInstall\SMSBoot\x64\pxeboot.com

Solutions to solve the fail copy at below :-

Go to boot image x64 and check the package ID (MPB00004)

Locate the folder MPB00004 got your boot image wim file .

Manually copy boot image x86 wim file to remoteinstall\SMSTempBootFiles Folder.

After done you might need to restart WDS Services(Windows Deployment Services) if needed.

Finally it’s work for me

 Note: Most importantly I copied both x86/x64 boot files from remoteinstall\x86 to D:\RemoteInstall\SMSTempBootFiles\P0100001\WINDOWS\Boot\PXE

and remoteinstall\x64 to D:\RemoteInstall\SMSTempBootFiles\P0100004\WINDOWS\Boot\PXE

I had to create subfolders for Windows\Boot\PXE since it didn't exist. Must check smspxe'log file in  D:\Program Files\SMS_CCM\Logs  it will tell you all the files that SCCM cannot copy.
