It was OSD (custom image), grabbed from an HP laptop w/UEFI. The TS had both BIOS and UEFI for partition/applying OS, I removed the UEFI task, as we are currently just using the BIOS. Not sure what happened, as our other HP laptop image only had the BIOS in the TS (same model laptop). I believe my predecessor may have disabled the UEFI on the laptop he used for the previous image (laptop already deployed to the field, so I can't verify). I'm just making it identical to our other TS for testing purposes- I'm still learning SCCM, having to learn as I go. I did purchase the Unleashed book, but most of my learning is from this site. I may need to play with the BIOS/UEFI on the laptop to make it work. * I just read here on the site you wrote Chapter 16 in the Unleashed book... nice! Thanks for your reply, and your site!

According to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712694.aspx I made a change to an existing TS (just the TS, nothing else) in SCCM 2012 SP1, and per the above link, states I must redistribute the content. Note: If you modify the task sequence, you must redistribute the content. further down in the article it states: Distribution Point: Select an existing distribution point, and then click OK. Distribution points that have previously received the content are not displayed. Distribution Point Group: Select an existing distribution point group, and then click OK. Distribution point groups that have previously received the content are not displayed. So, if it's already previously deployed and I make a change to the existing TS, and I can't see the DP/DP Grp (which I can't), how do I update/distribute the updated/modified TS?

My apologies, I should have stated my findings- after finding time to research more, I came across the reference you linked to, which answered my question, as well as other posts here that have been a tremendous help for other questions I have. Many, many thanks!!!!!

never mind, thanks anyway

Hello- We've been using SCCM 2012 for almost a year now, which I am now learning to use. We had a company come in and set this up for us, and have been using the boot images that they set up with pre-SP1. We now need to support Win8 Surface Pro tablets, so we've updated to SP1. I thought I could just add the MS NIC dongle drivers to the existing boot images, but since we have updated to SP1, I'm wondering if I need to do more. For example, when we did the SP1 update, did that also auto-update the existing x86/x64 boot images to WinPE 4.0, or do I need to create a new boot image manually to support Win8? Can I have more than 1 x86/x64 boot image(s)? Not sure if I import this if it will over-write my existing, or if I'll be prompted to supply another name for the new image. I've run "COPYPE.CMD amd64 c:\WINPE64\", but am hesitant to go any further until I get more answers (I haven't imported yet). Thank you very much in advance for any and all replies, and major thanks for this site- I've been using it quite a bit!

@ mpalmer- this worked for me, HP 9470m. We rec'd 2 of these laptops w/mSATA and no other drives installed (we were expecting regular SSD drives), and we had 2 hours to get them imaged and out the door. While I had one of my guys start looking around for an SSD, I went online for answers. I tried adding drivers in SCCM 2012 and was going to try other Task Sequence when I saw this post... I am happy to say I was able to get the images deployed and in the hands of the users in less than 40 minutes. THANK YOU!! Buggin
