E7450 SCCM Build

Hi All,

Am having some issues trying to build an E7450 from SCCM 2012 via PXE Boot. I've imported the Dell Driver Cab for WinPE 5, and have imported the dell driver cab for the E7450. I've added the network drivers to the x64 boot image but am still having a  problem with it not picking up an IP address. To me this suggests the network drivers are wrong? has anyone got any ideas, or got a solution from when they have built them?

Thanks

If you have not done so yet...

According to the support KB it mentions there is a newer driver signing method.

This will also mean you may need to reimport the drivers you currently have imported.

Hope this answers all the questions.

Same problem here.  SCCM imports a driver Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM however on the 7450 the network adapter is a Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I218-LM.  Version for the I217-LM is 12.12.50.7 where the driver version for the I218-LM is 12.12.50.70something.

Still looking for a way to import a I218-LM driver.  I downloaded the stand alone NIC drivers here but they are still listed a I217-LM.

Just noticed that the I218-LM is listed as a Supported Model.  Still digging.

Similar issue here with T7810. Win7 x64 build task sequence went through to the end.  Network driver detected and installed but IP address is 169.254.x.x. Network driver is "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-LM" version 12.11.77.1

As the result of incorrect IP address the machine could not join to company domain and remain as a member of WORKGROUP.   When Win7 OS is fully loaded, I can login with local account, the IP address is fine and can manually join domain with no problem.

I also suspect that the driver is wrong as well. Please share if you have solution.

Thanks,

OK I was able to fix this on my E7250 (same problem with my E7450) by downloading the drivers from Intel's site and importing the driver and adding it to my boot image.  You can download the Intel Ethernet Driver CD here.  I'll test this on my E7450 tomorrow but am pretty sure it will work.

The path to the driver in the Intel package is PRO1000\Winx64\NDIS62\e1d62x64

If this isn't resolved soon, I have 7 - 7450 laptops to return.

As a work around I used a Surface Ethernet Adapter (any USB Ethernet should work as long as you have it in WINPE and inject it in the task sequence before it tries to apply the OS) and a USB boot drive. This got the image deployed. I was missing 4 drivers NIC, NFC, and two others. I pointed the device manager at the extracted driver .cab from Dell and pnp detected and installed the missing drivers.

The problem with using a USB ethernet adapter, is that SCCM ties the MAC address to all clients that use that adapter.  The only way I know of at the moment to correct this is after the client is imaged and the SCCM client is registered, is to manually uninstall and re-install the SCCM client.  I don't really like having to remember to do this and all of my machines wind up remote and not easily accessible.

It's been suggested to me that using Win Pe 5.1 fixes the drvload issue, currently copying up my Wim to SCCM to test this. Will let you know how I get on
