Client OS Platform: Windows XP SP2 MDT version: Version: 2007 SP2 We have a large batch of brand new HP Elitebook 2540p's and HP Probook 6550b's which use the Intel 82577LC network card driver, for some strange reason I am unable to obtain a IP address from the DHCP server when using WinPE. (Despite checking IPCONFIG /ALL, F8 etc) The error message that I get is the following: A connection to the deployment share (\\server\Distribution$\) could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. The following networking device did not have a device driver installed. PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10EB&SUBSYS_1471103&REV_05 Previously I have experienced the same sort of errors for different models of laptops and they have been resolved by injecting the driver directly into the boot.wim image using peimg command, but sadly this time I am unable to get this driver working! After investigating further, looking at the .inf files for the network card drivers I have noticed that the string "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10EB&SUBSYS_1471103" appears inside the file but not "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10EB&SUBSYS_1471103&REV_05" I am not sure if the missing "&REV_05" would make any differences but not sure if I can edit the driver anyway. Any assistance would be much appreciated as I have tried the latest intel drivers, the drivers from the HP website with no success at all. Thanks in advance.

Got the same problems with HP Elitebooks 8540p and DC8000. I rebuild a boot image (source: Win7 x86 boot.wim) with PE Command Line dism.exe. Added the driver from the intel webpage to the mounted image. Then added the bootimage to configmgr. Worked for me.

I don't think you can use DISM.exe for Windows XP images. DISM.exe is a new command-line tool that is included both in a default install of the Windows 7 operating system and also as part of version 2.0 of the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK). Note: Support for VHD files as bootable Windows images is new in Windows 7 and is described in a later article of this series. You can use DISM.exe service Windows images, including both Windows image (WIM) files and virtual hard disk (VHD) files. While DISM.exe is primarily intended for servicing offline (not running) Windows images, some of its functionality can also be utilized to service online (running) Windows operating systems. By servicing an image we mean doing things like adding or removing device drivers, adding or removing operating system packages, adding hotfixes, configuring international settings, and performing similar types of actions on the image. DISM can also be used to upgrade a Windows image to a different edition (for example, to upgrade from Business to Ultimate) and to prepare a Windows PE image for use. You can use DISM.exe to service images of the following Windows versions: Windows Vista SP1 or later Windows Server 2008 Windows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2 Correct me if I am wrong? If so I will need to download Windows AIK 2.0 and use DISM.exe to edit my boot.wim image?

You can't use dism.exe for xp images. But i guessed you are trying to insert the ethernet-driver to your WinPE image, don't you? Some more info on DISM.exe: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=3716

You need to add the appropriate driver to WinPE for that network card. Keep in mind you will need the Windows 7 driver for WinPE as WinPE 3.0 is Win7 based. The correct driver is e1k6232 or e1k6264 depending on your architecture. MCTS: ConfigMgr, MDT / http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/cnackers/default.aspx

I have an issue like this as well however, I injected the drivers to the boot.wim and I can boot into the the PE and it loads the OS just like it should however, I get that same error and the the Lite Touch will start the suspend task. I can then install the driver at that point and continue on. How do I get the driver to install post OS deployment?

I am having a similar issue. The difference is that Win PE picks up the drivers and installs the OS with no difficulties. However, the installation of drivers for the OS doesn't pickup the drivers from the driver catalogue, and no apps install. I am getting to the stage where I may have to build a separate complete image from scratch, but I'd rather not do this. Machines are 6550b with the 82577LC driver. Thanks

This is deploying Windows 7? or a different OS? WinPE required windows 7 drivers, then you will need whatever drivers for the OS you are deploying.MCTS: ConfigMgr, MDT / http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/cnackers/default.aspx

Paulslee1977 were you able to fix this? I'm having the same issue.

Me too - same chipset, different hardware. I can't get a Toshiba M780 (PPM79E) with 82577LC Gigabit adaptor to connect to my deployment share. Says the connection is ok - possible credential problem, but if you drop into ipconfig - the card isn't listed - no IP. Same boot stick works on the M750 and scores of other platforms so it'd definately not a credential issue. We have manually set up M780's that have the network card installed and they're using e1k6232 - Driver Version 11.10.86.0. I've removed all previous versions of the e1k6232 driver from my WinPE drivers - recreated the boot image with just the 11.10.86.0 driver but still no joy. Stumped for now.

So you have hte driver imported into the workbench? What are you using for settings on the WinPE components tab?My blog: http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/cnackers/default.aspx

We are having the same issue, I have imported e1k6232 and e1k6264 into the workbench updated the deployment point (Also created the boot image from scratch). But the network card is not found in WinPE. The laptop in question with this issue is a Toshiba Portege R700.

But the network card is not found in WinPE. The laptop in question with this issue is a Toshiba Portege R700. Well it's not the correct driver then. Maybe the E1C62xx, that is what is needed for Lenovo T420's. Get the hardware ID from the laptop and find the appropriate driver, the point is to add only the drivers you need, instead of needlessly adding random drivers until it works.My blog: http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/cnackers/default.aspx

Thanks very much was my silly mistake, I did a search for the PCI ID within a directory of intel drivers and selected the folder above the one I was meant to in the workbench for import.
