Intel 82566DM-2 driver problems with PE/WDS
- Hello all,
I use Server 2003 with WDS and Deployment Workbench to deploy Vista. I haven't had any problems with any machine except this one. It's an IBM ThinkCentre M57, model 6072-CC7. When PE gets to the User Credentials portion I enter my domain credentials and hit OK. It errors out and displays that the credentials are invalid: network path not found. I hit cancel and the following message displays. "A connection to the deployment share (\\BUILDSERVER\Distribution$) could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. The following networking device did not have a driver installed. PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10BD&SUBSYS_303817AA&REV_02"
I have installed every single driver available from Intel, IBM, and Dell (the optiplex 755 uses the same network adapter). I've followed the Microsoft article on going to the [minihelp] portion of the inf and shortening the descriptions. I always update my Distribution\Boot\ *.wim after a nic driver update. I also tried updating the intel matrix drivers just because I noticed that in another forum post. Ideas?

Hello,
The cause can be a network initializing timeout issue in wpeinit.exe in Windows PE 2.1.
Workaround:
Give Windows PE 2.1 a few more seconds by editing startnet.cmd on your LiteTouch_x86.wim (or iso) to look like below Step1. Mount your Litetouch_x86.wim in a folder Imagex /Mountrw D:\distribution\boot\litetouch_x86.wim 1 c:\mount Open Startnet.cmd from c:\mount\windows\system32\startnet.cmd.
Change startnet.cmd from wpeinit to following
wpeutil InitializeNetwork
ping localhost
wpeinit
If you want the Deployment Workbench to include the updated startnet.cmd every time, please update the Deployment Point just follow the below steps
Configure MDT to use the updated startnet.cmd:
1. Create a folder named D:\ExtraFiles\Windows\System32 and copy the updated startnet.cmd to it.
2. In the Deployment Workbench, right-click the Deployment Point and select Properties.
3. In the Windows PE Tab, in the Extra directory to add textbox, type in D:\ExtraFiles
4. Click OK
