NIC devices that require a special driver for WinPE may cause a ConfigMgr Task Sequence to fail if a Vista or newer OS is being deployed via an Operating System Install Packagehttp://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2010/02/09/nic-devices-that-require-a-special-driver-for-winpe-may-cause-a-configmgr-task-sequence-to-fail-if-a-vista-or-newer-os-is-being-deployed-via-an-operating-system-install-package.aspxIf separate NIC drivers are offered by an OEM manufacturer for use in Windows PE vs. the full Windows OS, the Task Sequence may fail if the Windows OS being deployed is Windows Vista or newer (Vista, Windows 7, 2008, 2008 R2) and if it is being deployeden-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)re: NIC devices that require a special driver for WinPE may cause a ConfigMgr Task Sequence to fail if a Vista or newer OS is being deployed via an Operating System Install Packagehttp://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2010/02/09/nic-devices-that-require-a-special-driver-for-winpe-may-cause-a-configmgr-task-sequence-to-fail-if-a-vista-or-newer-os-is-being-deployed-via-an-operating-system-install-package.aspx#3546623Fri, 18 Jan 2013 07:50:09 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3546623Elpabo<p>Great!

Resolution would need to come from the hardware manufacturer. We are just working around their issue. Regarding the Driver Package in WinPE, I do not see where it says to create a Driver Package with only the WinPE driver? Can you point out what step specifically you are talking about?

This is exactly the problem we are having. Solution 1 does not seem to work (2007 R2 + SP2). I have tried different scenarios, but still no luck. Solution 2 and 3 is no option for us. I have tried Solution 3 as well. I have a question about solution 3. You mention that you have to create a different Driver Package with only the WinPE driver, but you also mentioned that the WinPE driver is already inluded in WinPE 3.0. Does this solution work with WinPE 3.0?</p> <p>Actually this an unwanted behavior. Is Microsoft going to work on a solution? If not, do we have to contact the manufacturer or Microsoft about it?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3314091" width="1" height="1">
