Iconia W510 Windows8.1 driver problems with MDT 2013 (Help)

[kkkk1]

Hi folks,

Has anyone successfully deployed a Windows8.1 x86 image for the Iconia W510 using MDT?

 

I have successfully deployed Windows 7 x86 - x64 images without too much problem but i'm struggling with these Iconia devices on Windows 8.1. I have downloaded the latest drivers from the Acer website which comes as a package. I have then added these to the MDT drivers and updated the boot image. I have then copied the updated boot image to my USB stick. When I boot from the USB to start the build off I have no keyboard or mouse. Eventually after I have installed a USB keyboard and kicked the build off it finishes but still no drivers. I have to install the USB keyboard AGAIN to log into Windows and install the drivers manually, (the same drivers I have added to MDT) and all works fine from then on. However we have 210 of these devices to build and manually installing the drivers on the machine at the end of the build is not an option. It's driving me mad.

 

Does anyone have any suggesstions?

 

Kind regards,

You may have sorted this by now, but have you updated the BIOS? There was an update that fixed that issue for me.

Many thanks for the response.

I have downloaded the latest drivers from the Acer website and included in this is the firmware update for the BIOS which i have applied but unfortnately still no joy?

I have installed a command line in the task sequence with the following command:-

cmd.exe /c "bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS"

However this sequence starts but just hangs????
