Hello. I am looking for a way in my OSD deployments to prompt for partition sizes of disks other than the system drive, and to use the input to create and format those drives. Any one done this already? Thanks!

My deployment is not configuring the nic's. I know that they are available, because I can see them in the drivers folder after the failed deployment. I boot from USB key, it shows available advertisements, deploys the wim image, applies diver package which I know conatins the right drivers, restarts, but has no nics configured. Any ideas?

Thank You Peter, that worked, and I didn't know that option existed so I learned something new too!

Just so this thread does not go off topic, my server is HP.

Nope, same problem using a CD. It appears that the disk is no longer bootable after the setup windows and configmgr task in the "setup operating system" group.

I have a hunch it's the usb confusing the deployment, going to try with a cd.

OK, found it, here it is..........smsts.log

Where is it located? Can't find a ccm folder and not in temp.......

Mine formats the disk ok, drops the image OK, but keeps perpetually rebooting.

Works on VM, so i guess it's a driver problem, but I've loaded every hp driver I can find.............

I am successfully deploying all flavors of Windows server 2008. However I can not get W2003 to deploy. It goes through the tasks up until deploying the image, then reboots, but goes into perpetual reboots immediately after showing the windows splash. Any ideas?

Does anyone know how to keep the static IP that can be entered at the beginning of the deployment in PE available to the actual OS deployment? Our new data center does not have DHCP so unfortunately that is not an option.
