Not detecting a new machine type

Question

So I have been building my OS Task sequence. I currently have most of my machine types available for PXE boot and deployment. However, I just tried to add a new machine type to the list, and its failing at the post install gather/apply windows settings phase.

 

I added a line in the customsettings.ini for the X230 Laptop - see below. The problem is, it doesn't seem to be getting past this. When I look at the log folder, its clear that its not detecting the computer model properly because the name its trying to give the computer is %Computermodel%-PK0B1LZ (which is the serial number). That being said, I can open a command prompt right on the failed PXE boot and do a WMIC COMPUTERSYSTEM GET MODEL and see that the model type is correct. I can build all the other machine types no problem. Its just an issue with the X230...

 

Does anyone have any thoughts why this might be failing?

This should do the trick. For Lenovo, you have only to care about the first 4 characters of the model.
