WinPE - WDS - Deploying

[RET]

Hello,

i've setup a WDS, a custom WinPE for capturing. I've integraded the special RIS driver for WinPE. It's working fine when capturing. When i want to deploy an image, drivers for the Broadcom NetXtreme II won't be loaded. I really don't know why. I'm using the same base image as for the capturing (there it's working though). Is there any logging available? Why aren't the drivers loaded up, when i start the deploy winpe image? Any ideas appreciated!

At what point are the nic drivers not loading. When running winpe 2.0 to deploy the image or within the deployed operating system?

Are you using a different winpe.wim for capture and deployment? If so you will need to apply the drivers to both winpe.wims

Bit more detail may help us to help you..

Hello RET,

When you say that you are using a special RIS driver, are you referring to Broadcom's monolithic driver? I had problems in the past with the II's and these links were helpful.

To download the driver:

These links also have information about the NetXtreme II's:
