[djseppie]

Hello, im having this strange problem. I added drivers to boot.wim and i want to deploy an image to vmware workstation 6.02.

When i add the driver it goed without errors. I close the boot.wim (or course with the /commit switch).

Now i receive the error (which i ca't read of course. Anyone solved this?? I really need to the correct way to add nic drivers to my boot.wim.

Any help is welcome :-)

I solved this myself.. Just give your virtual machine 512mb memory and everything works fine..

Please use this script for adding drivers, it's a time-saver!

Nice little script

If you want it to be a little more dynamic use CMD inputs like

scriptname.cmd %arch% %location% %mountpoint% %driverlocation%

blah.. Build that out and then let the scripts dynamically add the variable

Or, switch to vbscript

And now we have MDT 2010 and we don't need to add drivers to boot.wim anymore, are we??
