techie2008 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 We have purchased over 100 ASUS ET2400INT All-In-One PCs and decided to create a Windows 7 Ent 64bit image using WDS. However when we PXE boot to Win PE 3.0 we get the generic microsoft message saying that we need the correct network driver. We have injected numerous realtek win7 (32 and 64 bit) from ASUS and Realtek but still no joy. Has anyone else experienced this problem who could provide a solution?
SYNACK Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Is it not the one avalible from here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - All-in-one PCs- ASUS All-in-One PC ET2400INT http://support.asus.com/download/download_item_mkt.aspx?slanguage=en-us&model=ET2400INT This is another aspect where MDT can be helpful, if it can't find the NIC driver it will give you the device PNP id so it is usually easy enough to find.
techie2008 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 I have already injected those drivers to my PE environment, but no joy! Can you guide me further with this MDT approach please Many thanks
Arthur Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Could you run the following command (from the command prompt) and post the hardware ID? wmic nic where (NetConnectionID="Local Area Connection") get PNPDeviceID | find "PCI\"
techie2008 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Arthur do you want me to run this in the PE environment when I get the error message? Shift + F10 for command prompt ??
Arthur Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Can you do it from inside Windows 7? Edited June 6, 2011 by Arthur

Arthur Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) This is the driver you need... Driver_Win7_7045_05202011.zip Edited June 6, 2011 by Arthur Link now works
techie2008 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Arthur, I've injected those drivers successfully and applied the new boot image to WDS, but I still get the same problem. Any other ideas?
techie2008 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Can I also mention, I can boot my old win pe 2.0 (x86) for my winxp images with network access, so I have correct drivers in there for vista 32bit architecture! However that is no good, I need to boot with PE 3.0 and deploy win7 x64 This is really frustrating me, especially when I have injected the correct drivers.
sted Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 is your boot image x86 or x64 (regardless of the os youre deploying you need x86 drivers for an x86 boot.wim and so on) How are you injecting the drivers and are you sure thats working correctly?
techie2008 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 My boot image is x64 and I'm injecting my drivers by mounting my wim file and using the following command: DISM /image:c:\winpe_x64\mount /Add-Driver /driver:C:\YOUR_FOLDER_OF_INF_DRIVERS\ /recurse and then unmounting it and adding it to WDS
SYNACK Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Does it work if you do a fresh install of 7 from CD then add the drivers to the install. It could be that the driver si not adding properly or there is a conflicting version of driver. I had this with an intel NIC driver for a Toshiba laptop (why am I not supprised). That would inject but simply would not work under WinPE, I ended up having to use an older version of the driver that would work then installing the latest one afterwards because they had screwed something up in the driver which prevented it from being picked up under PE.
Arthur Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 and then unmounting it and adding it to WDS Are you committing the changes when unmounting the WIM? Just thought I would check. dism /Unmount-Wim /Commit /MountDir:C:\winpe_x64\mount
techie2008 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Posted June 6, 2011 Are you committing the changes when unmounting the WIM? Just thought I would check. dism /Unmount-Wim /Commit /MountDir:C:\winpe_x64\mount I am committing the unmount. I do a fresh install of 7 and device manager doesn't see the nic driver. I install the same driver that I injected into win PE manually through device manager and it successfully installs.
sted Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 what wim file are you mounting boot.wim or install.wim?
Arthur Posted June 9, 2011 Report Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Would it be possible to post the commands you are using? e.g. :: [b]Delete resources associated with a mounted image that have been corrupted[/b] (Optional) dism /Cleanup-Wim :: [b]Mount boot.wim[/b] dism /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\WinPE_x64\Boot\boot.wim /Index:2 /MountDir:C:\WinPE_x64\Mount :: [b]Inject drivers[/b] dism /Image:C:\WinPE_x64\Mount /Add-Driver:C:\WinPE_x64\Drivers /recurse [b]or[/b] dism /Image:C:\WinPE_x64\Mount /Add-Driver:C:\WinPE_x64\Drivers\Realtek\x64\rt64win7.inf :: [b]List injected drivers[/b] (Optional) dism /Image:C:\WinPE_x64\Mount /Get-Drivers /Format:Table :: [b]Unmount the boot.wim and commit changes[/b] dism /Unmount-Wim /Commit /MountDir:C:\WinPE_x64\Mount If you still don't have any luck with DISM, have you tried adding the drivers to your boot image via the WDS console (right-click your boot image under "Boot Images", select "Add Driver Packages to Image", follow Wizard)? I do a fresh install of 7 and device manager doesn't see the nic driver. I install the same driver that I injected into WinPE manually through device manager and it successfully installs. Are you injecting the driver(s) into your install image too (Windows 7 x64)? Edited June 9, 2011 by Arthur
mike-switzerland Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 Hello Guys I'm looking for a solution for this problem since one month ago. We're using a ASUS P7H55-M/USB3 Board with Realtek RTL8811E Gigabit Controller. We have injected all possible drivers from ASUS and Realtek to the boot.wim and still no success! We deploy our Images over WDS with MS Server 2008 R2. We've tried all possible boot.wim files, Win Vista, 7 (x86 and x64). With an another Board from ASUS (P7P55D-E) with Realtek RTL8112L it works without problems. Did someone found a solution for this? many thanks and sorry for my poor english! mike
