Then I have made it has a wim image with WDS Create Image Feature

----------------------------------------------Networking Problem -----------------------------------------------

I have tried it on one computer it works fine (Wasn't the master pc I built the image on)

Tried it one of the new computers we just brought, no luck (Same spec has the pc I set it up on)

Keeps coming up with something like 'cant obtain an ip address from the dhcp server'

So thought it was to do with the network driver

The ethernet controller on this computer is an ' Realtek_8111B_8111C Controller'

I have tried to inject the driver into the boot up file (boot.wim)

Still the same problem

Am I setting up the driver wrong?

Or is it not to do with the driver?

----------------------------------------------- Computer Name Problem ----------------------------------------

Also how do I get it so I can type the computer name after I selected the image? (Is it even possible?)

Dont want to have to wait for it to finish installing to type in the computer name needed

At the moment it just makes one by itself, whuch I then have to change after it finishes the setup (Annoying)

----------------------------------------------- Hal Problem ----------------------------------------

Can I make it universal?

So it does both multicore and single core with one image, instead of two

---------------------------------- Other Driver Problem ------------------------------------------

Also How can I add other drivers so it installs by itself?

Audio, Chipset, Ethernet, Video Controller

This way everything is all installed expect from the antivirus and our remote/watching software which we deploy from their deployment tools

Problem I had with RIS. is even if i wasnt the correct driver it still was under add/remove programs

So had to make different images for different hardware, witch I gave up in the end, and just had one image with all the ethernet drivers and install the drivers manually on the pcs

Would this be the same case?

Different images for different PCs?
