Hello, I tried to follow the tutorial that was posted on how to do this but it wasn't working. The first issue I ran into was needing local admin privileges in order to copy the file to the systems folder. To get around this I just setup a step to create a new folder on the root of C: then another to copy those files to, which it does successfully. After that I have a step to create a task sequence variable which I'm using to represent the GUID on the .POW file. The third step is to run the following command line: Set MYGUID=%MYGUID% powercfg.exe -import "C:\Power\Ultrabook.pow" %MYGUID% See error from smstlog: Failed to execute command line 'Set MYGUID=A6319DFD-EEF4-4644-9D74-9724744F1971 powercfg.exe -import "C:\Power\Ultrabook.pow" A6319DFD-EEF4-4644-9D74-9724744F1971' I've tried running this step as admin and my privileged user account, but then I get can error stating that running command line with a user account is not supported in WinPE. Any ideas?

If I go under that tab, and click on the yellow icon up in the corner it does, but it doesn't show them in the actual list otherwise.

A few questions: 1. Did you just install the ConfigMgr? 2. If not, did this just start happening? 3. Are you running with admin priviliges? 4. If not, have you been able to run this succesfully before? 5. Are you accessing remotely?

Alright, sorry on the delay on getting back to this thread. I have solved my main issue of getting that driver imported at this point. I didn't remove the Boot Image as it appears several task sequences are using it. However what I did figure out is that (atleast the way we have things configured) is during the the updating distribution stage, it looks like the image appears to be copied to a second location. It seems like as the image is copied over is when its getting renamed, which I'm thinking is due to some permission settings (not sure where I would change or check these.) Though I found deleting the image from the second location and re-running the update distribution points allowed the image to be updated succesfully including the driver I needed. This does not however address the fact the image keeps getting larger with every update despite the fact I had removed probably a good 50 drivers or so.

Yeah I tell it do so everytime. I've also just recently noticed (after looking through some logs) that the boot image gets renamed from like boot.ACM0000X.wim to boot.ACM0000X.ACM0000X.wim, then it fails because it doesn't have access to the file it created.

I have been removing them, it just doesn't show they are completely removed. Also the boot image keeps getting larger regardless of the fact that I am removing them.

Alright, I've been researching this further, and still have yet to find any specifics. I found where it says how to remove drivers from the drivers pane, but when I go to run that wizard it doesn't give me an option to remove, only to add.

I had this issue myself, it turned out to be two simple things 1.) Make sure username and password are correct that the username is part of the domain admin group and 2.) Make sure you have the machine actually connected to the network

Hello, I've been working in SCCM for awhile now. I've finally got a sequence that works offline just fine. Though recently I've been trying to get it to run over the network from a bootable media. Anyway, I noticed that it fails to detect the network adapter I am using (its a startech usb to nic dongle). I had the drivers in the boot image but still no go. So then I started to remove drivers to see if maybe there was a conflict with the another nic driver. I noticed everytime I tried to remove drivers, I would get an error saying it failed because such and such driver couldn't be injected. So I would delete that driver and update the distribution points and try again only to get the same error but with a different driver. Finally though, I removed enough drivers that the distribution point got update dated succesfully without error, however the problem now is that I had to remove the one driver I needed. Further more the other thing I noticed (and this is where my question comes in) is that the boot image regardless of the fact I was removing drivers, was getting bigger after each update. Also when you click the little yellow flower icon to look at details of the drivers, that list shows all the drivers I removed in it. Is there a reason for that?

Yeah lol thats what it was, I had a restart command in the wrong spot. I just needed to move it down one section in my task sequence and then everything started. I can't believe thats all it was ugh..lol

65 views and nothing I well post an error log of sorts to see if this helps

Hello, I have been working on imaging Dell Ultrabooks for the company I work for. Originally I had an image that included a couple pieces of software (office 2007, java, flash and Citrix etc). I had an image setup and task sequence that would run succesfully. However it did have a few bugs that I would manually correct each time I imaged a machine. Eventually I figured out why some most of the bugs were occuring. So we decided to start over with a clean image. So I created a bootable USB device to install a fresh copy of Windows 7. I installed this on the Ultrabook. Then immediately sysprepped it and captured the image off it. I didn't think I needed to do anything else because the rest of the applications and drivers would be installed via the task sequence I had created. So I added the image to the task sequence. Made a standalone media to run it and ran it. The task sequence started, and it worked just fine up until it came to the last section to install the software and then it failed. My first thought was maybe it was an issue with the package, but even trying other packages I was still getting the same error. So this led to me do to some more research. I found that in most cases they say to use an unattend.xml file when doing a sysprep. Now I've gone through numerous threads/forums and technet articles and was able to setup an unattend file, and it works fine. However my problem is I still need to get software installed and all the articles I've read state to install the software before sysprepping, which isn't what I want to do. I would like to be able to install the applications seperately and keep the base image clean. This way if we update anything we don't have to recreate the base image.
