I'm trying to use MDT and WDS to image a machine.
I've got the image of the reference cpu via a vmware machine.
I tried running LiteTouch via PXE on the target machine. It gives me an error:
A connection to the deployment share (\share\deploymentShare$) could not be made. The following networking device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1692&SUBSYS_04001028&REV_01.
I check OOB and didn't see a matching driver. I grabbed the OEM disk and pulled the drivers off and imported them into OOB. In OOB, I can find the driver, and in details > supported pnp id's can see
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1692&SUBSYS_04001028
I updated the deployment share, both with optimize and completely regenerate boot images. I created a new task sequence. I proceed to reboot and run LiteTouch on the target to be met with the same error.
I also verified that this PNP ID is in DeploymentShare\Control\Drivers.xml
Isn't the point of OOB to have the drivers you need for the boxes you are deploying to?
Is there something else I'm missing?
Thanks.
I just ran a test to verify adding a driver to a boot image. It has been some time since I needed to since I've moved on to SCCM 2012. First you need to add the driver to your "Out-Of-Box Drivers". You then need to right click your deployment share and select properties. Select the tab "WinPE" and make sure the second radial button (Include only drivers of the following type) is selected and the top two check boxes (Include all network and include all mass storage). After you do that update your deployment share and you should see the driver get injected into your boot image.
When you regenerate the boot images in MDT, you must replace the existing boot images in WDS with the newly created images. The drivers are injected during the regeneration process, which is different than how it works with the install images.
More information about deploying Windows with MDT and WDS can be found on the Springboard Series pages on TechNet.
