Dell Optiplex 760 Nic driver issues
I have been going round and round with Dell's Optiplex 760 Nic drivers trying to get them to load correctly in Windows PE 3.0. Has anyone ever seen this issue? The driver that Windows PE does load works slightly but looks like it has major latency issues, I monitored the throughput with an FTP server loaded on the system center box. I could never get a directory list from FTP. I switched to an older Windows PE 2.1 and everything worked perfectly, but i would like to start loading Windows 7 and will need the new Windows PE 3.0 but these drivers will not load "Intel 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection"
I researched the drivers that the windows PE 3.0 is loading here is the lines below:
Spent 1061ms installing network components
Info Installing device pci\ven_8086&dev_10de X:\windows\INF\net1k32.inf succeeded
Info Spent 3276ms installing network drivers
Info UGC process exit code is 0x00000000
Info Executed UGC; identity[Microsoft-Windows-TCPIP, Culture=neutral, Version=6.1.7100.0,
Turns out this is the release to manufacture drivers from windows 7, and to add the driver for the correct nic has been loaded on the Windows PE 3.0 boot disk by SCCM and it still tries to load this driver during OSD!
The driver that it should be loading is "e1k6032.inf" is there any way to make Windows PE 3.0 use this driver instead of the drivers that come preloaded with the default Windows PE 3.0 build?
Seems like a PNP fail to me.

Oh well thanks guys for all the help, but it looks like System Center was put on the backburner. There were too many issues that was run into that took too long to figure out. Seems kinda sad to me, but looks like they are switching to KACE and looking for a simpler box that takes all the work out of doing this and they assume KBOX will do everything System Center will do but quicker and better.
So in light of this new information I would like to thank everyone that has helped and gave me advice in running and configuring this box. I'm kinda sad because SCCM looks to me to have greater customablity then KBOX.
Take care.

Thanks Greg, I knew something was seriously wrong when you told me that you had the same version and never had issues in one of the chats. I dont think anyone else was using WinPE 3.0 at the time i first had this issue.
Before with the old broken WinPE 3.0 Optiplex 760 took sometimes almost 3-5 hours to complete. If that helps any.

This is currently only the Systems Management KBOX 1000 series. We will soon offer a Trial KBOX Deployment Appliance which performs OS Deployment (OS Scripted Installs, Imaging, and User State Migration). Both KBOX Appliances are available now, but KACE only has a Downloadable Trial version for the Systems Management Appliance at this time.

KACE is now a partner with Dell and customers can purchase the KBOX from Dell and the KBOX Appliance is running on Dell hardware :-)
