WDS

[GrimR]

I need help with WDS server Windows 2003 R2.and Dell E5400

What I have done is:
Copied the boot.wim off Vista Ultimate CD to F:
Opened WDS and created a Deploy Image from boot.wim
Then Created a Capture image.

Under install Images created a ClientGroup and add the Vista images [Ultimate and Business]

I also created a image doing sysprep on the E5400 but it would not allow me to connect directly to the server, so I copied it over and imported the image.

I boot off the nic [Deploy Image] and get the error in this webpage

http://blogs.technet.com/svengrueni...-client-dhcp-issues-here-is-one-solution.aspx

I downloaded Dell-WinPE-Drivers-A00.cab and extracted all folders.

http://support.dell.com/support/dow...typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=312511

I then imported all the Network drivers and storage drivers into the image and unmounted and committed changes.
But still get that same error.

I tried doing it as in the link above suggests buy creating a new Winpe but still I get the same error.

I have even gone into c:\dell and imported those NIC drivers into the image and still I get the same error.

Would the deploy Image use Vista\XP or NDIS\DOS drivers to initialize the NIC?

Any help would be appreciated.
I'm starting to accumulate a large amount of .wim files.


Here is and example of my import command and unmount statements.For boot.wim and Winpe.wim

copype x86 c:\wdsbootimage
imagex /mountrw WinPE.wim 1 mount
imagex /mountrw f:\boot.wim 2 mount

peimg /inf=C:\RemoteInstall\network\R201653\nvfd6032.inf C:\wdsbootimage\mount\windows
peimg /inf=C:\RemoteInstall\network\R202277\nvfd6032.inf C:\wdsbootimage\mount\windows

peimg /inf=C:\RemoteInstall\Storage\R126557\aarich.inf C:\wdsbootimage\mount\windows
peimg /inf=C:\RemoteInstall\Storage\R129525\cercmgt.inf C:\wdsbootimage\mount\windows

Imagex /unmount /commit c:\mount
imagex /unmount C:\BootWim /commit
