Winpe 2.0

[bjorne78]

Hi,

I have a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I would like to deploy W2K3SP1 using Winpe 2.0.

Network drivers for NC373i and HP DL380G5, do I have to look for Vista drivers? Do Winpe 2.0 recognize W2K3 drivers?

I have tried using the drivers for W2k3 but it doesn´t work.

Or is Vista the only operating system that is supported to deploy using Winpe 2.0.

Hope you can help me.

Regards B

I use Win2k3 drivers in my WinPE2 build.

NetExtreme II nics require a special RIS driver to work in WinPE. ( i posted a set that will work in another post somewhere near the top of this forum.

Thanks Jazkal, the driver seems to work great.

@ bjorne78

Are you using the HP Scripting toolkit ie conrep and the acu?

I have not be able to get this running yet as winpe 2 can not install the sysmgmt service required for HP tools.

I be intrested if you have any input on this matter?

I have confirmation directly from HP that their tools do not work under Vista and they do not have plans to make a release until server 2007 is out. I can quote the rep I talked to as saying 'since Vista is a client OS they don't have anything on the roadmap for making their tools work with the Vista OS'.
