nry Posted November 12, 2012 Report post Posted November 12, 2012 Having tried loads of options from Google I am still stuck - we have a large number of very new Intel based desktops with the 82579v NIC on board - any one I try to download for this card and add to the MDT deployment boot image will not inject. PXE boot won't work, it gets to the first part after it loads the base image then crashes out and reboots, I never get to any of the deployment screens.Help welcome (no idea why this won't let me put in carriage returns? (Win8/IE1 in desktop mode). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nry Posted November 13, 2012 Report post Posted November 13, 2012 If we can't use PXE, is there any way we can use an alternative deployment method via SCCM instead of manual installs? We're using Win7 Enterprise x64 exclusively. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nry Posted November 13, 2012 Report post Posted November 13, 2012 I have just tried the Win7 32Bit driver which appears to be working - during the first part of PXE boot it black screen errors to moan about a device no longer being found, but if you tap a key to continue it prompts to PXE boot which is so far working as expected. Not sure what the black screen error relates to, any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter33 Posted November 13, 2012 Report post Posted November 13, 2012 Is that really an PXE error or just your monitor? I got trouble sometimes on lenovo machines which are connected via display port to the monitor. They don't like the low resolution switching and just go to sleep.

You can always use Boot Media, like USB or DVD, but your media will still need the proper network driver installed for it to communicate with the SCCM server to pull down the WIM. Or you can opt for a full media installation, but then you're not really using SCCM for your installation at that point.

nry Posted November 14, 2012 Report post Posted November 14, 2012 Cheers all - second boot trial and PXE didn't black screen so the error appears to be a one-off as I can't replicate it. Win7 32bit driver is working nicely, trialled a few bulds now and have all appropriate drivers within SCCM so Device Manager is happy once Win7 is installed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
