P3nnyw1se Posted January 10, 2014 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 Hey guys so I've been very succesfully OSD'ing various computers the past half year. Lenovo T61, T500 T520, even X230.. today I got some a of Lenovo x240.. so I got the SCCM driver pack from their webiste.. I took the network drivers from the driverpack.. and injected into the boot image.. and then I started my PXE.. now something odd that caught my attention right away was the fact I didn't get to pick Windows PE.. it just started., which means I can't load with 'F8' Options. (Command Support is Enabled) It loads then correctly the boot image and enters Windows PE.. then it says 'Windows is Starting' ... and 'Preparing network' then it reboots... now So, logically to me that would mean.. network driver issue.. but I'm kinda lost cause I added the 3 drivers the official SCCM package had to the boot image: "Intel® 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection""Intel® 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection" "Intel® Ethernet Connection I217-LM"I quickly tested a Lenovo T520, which starts correctly.. so nothing is wrong on other devices now that since I can't seem to get to the 'F8' Option.. I have no idea how to trouble shoot this. can anyone help me!? maybe just help me understand why I'm not prompted to select windows PE.. that it just starts automatically?

Config Mangler Posted January 10, 2014 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 Not sure about PXE, but for the drivers, make sure you are using the NDIS 6.3 drivers in the boot image i.e. Windows 8 drivers If it has the Intel i217 card you need to use e1d63x64.inf or x86 as appropriate I'm assuming you're on at least SCCM 2012 SP1 here.

P3nnyw1se Posted January 13, 2014 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 I booted, using a boot windows XP.. and now that I get in there..I can't even access the harddrive, so I'm thinking now its a storage driver problem..I will attempt to inject Storage drivers and reply later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlar01 Posted January 13, 2014 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 We also experienced this, but it wasn't hardware related. At the end, we needed to remove the computer from SCCM and it fixed the problem. Perhaps this is also the case for you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3nnyw1se Posted January 13, 2014 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 Kevlar01Since I only deploy my OSD to 'uknown computers' as soon as a computer is recognized by the Domain or SCCM.. it won't load.. but.. this one loads, the Windows PE, the issue is that it fails. and its nowhere to be found in my devices.. I already searched on its Mac Addresse.. so its not in the system the computer is directly from the box Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter33 Posted January 13, 2014 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 I am using the Intel Pro Driver Package from the Intel Site (Version 18.7) and the Windows 8.1 driver for the 217-LM chipset. Works pretty well with the Lenovo X240. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3nnyw1se Posted January 13, 2014 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 How can I tell my Windows PE versiON?I'm on SCCM 2012 SP1 cu3.. but maybe my Windows PE is of a version that requires different drivers tahn the one I got Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter33 Posted January 13, 2014 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 No, i don't use the Windows 8 drivers anymore, since i am not deploying Windows 8 anymore. Anyways, for the boot WIM of SCCM 2012 R2 u need the Windows 8.1 driver because the Windows PE is 8.1. You always have to chose the appropriate drivers for the used PE.

I can't seem to tell the Windows PE version though, in the boot image.. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3nnyw1se Posted January 13, 2014 Report post Posted January 13, 2014 I'm starting to think the boot images are brokenA guy had the exact same problem online, stopped at the same point, and he said he resolved it by recreating the boot images Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
