Windows Deployment Error Mesage

[Bankesy]

Hello

 

When trying to deploy an image to a laptop, I receive an error message informing me that there is no network card driver available in the image but that it could be added to the image.

 

How do I go about this?

 

Thank you

What are you using to deploy? WDS, MDT?

[Griff]

You wanna inject the drivers into the boot.wim image I believe well this is how I do it on WDS...

 

Here is a link telling you how to-do it

 

HOW TO: inject drivers into Microsoft's free OS, Windows PE 2.0 - APC

 

I wrote a blog years ago about my experience with WDS you might find useful as well...shameless plug

You will probably need to install the network driver into your boot image

 

look at DISM

 

Add and Remove Drivers Offline

 

obviously change paths to the correct WIM file and them reimport to WDS to update.

Oh yeah sorry its WDS

[sted]

if yor wds server is 08r2 or above you can add boot drivers from the gui without messing wound with dism commands anymore

It would appear that the deployment server is indeed 2008 R2, do you have the details of how I might add the driver?

Did you try my links above? there is a tutorial on how to inject drivers into the boot image..you can do this for an image you have already captured as well just follow the same steps

Hello

 

Yes I did read it but the suggestion from sted seems much more straightforward, unless you're talking about the same solution?
