Hi there,
I have been trying for days on end to get MDT to work with some old HP 655 laptops we have. I've used MDT for a couple of years now so understand it's workings quite well, but this issue has stumped me! I am trying to deploy Windows 7 x64. When I PXE boot, I get a wizard error... "A connection to the deployment share (deployment_share) could not be made. The following networking device did not have a driver installed' PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV8168&SUBSYS_1885103C&REV_07". I have tried:
- ensuring the correct LAN driver is imported into the correct deployment workbench folder
- updated the deployment share and replaced the image in WDS
- compared LAN driver IDs with those of a working HP 655
- installed a fresh version of Windows 7 x64 on a HP 655 and installed the same driver manually, which works.
- for fun I've also tried importing numerous other drivers, which also didn't work.
- much Googling and head scratching.
I am very close to giving in and just manually installing and updating the laptops...but there are 10 of them and the amount of effort that would take isn't very appealing!
I should point out I have some HP 635's too and MDT works fine on those!
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Scott
