Lenovo OSD driver problem

[fabdub]

Hi,

I have a problem deploying my win7 image to lenovo models 81 and m90z.

It used to work on MDT without any problem with the same imported drivers.

It currently works with the m55 m57 m58 models.

 

The problem is that network drivers don't seem to install properly so the task install windows but that's it.

If I boot into windows with the local admin password I see no drivers installed : network nor video.

 

The drivers I imported are from the lenovo web site and I don't see why it would cause problems.

I don't use the driver packages.

 

Do you have any idea on how to work around this ?

 

 

thanks very much!

You may have to create an Auto Apply Drivers item in your OS task sequence before the generic "Apply Device Drivers" item that is limited to a category containing the known good driver. What might be happening is that the machine is picking up a NIC driver it "thinks" is the right one, and thus not continuing to search the driver repository any further. You'll probably need to use a WMI filter for the specific model to ensure that it doens't cause problems with yet other models.

 

For example, to filter things so that only a Dell Latitude E6420 would initiate the section, you could use a filter query like this:

select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Model like "%E6420%"

I fixed it by using driver packages ... works flawlessly.
