Hi!

I have a question regarding wimboot. I don't know if it is a wimboot issue or 
not and couldn't find anyone with a similar issue. I noticed that WinPE behaves 
differently (hardware/driver detection) when it was started by wimboot than 
when I boot it from a Windows Deployment Server or from a local volume.


*         Network Adapter detection

o   Hardware: Surface Pro 4 with the Surface Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (same 
adapter as the Surface Pro 3 uses)

o   WinPE is booted with iPXE/wimboot: Network Adapter is not detected. When 
unplugging it and plugging it back in, WinPE will detect the Network Adapter 
and it gets an IP configuration from the DHCP server.

o   Same WinPE is booted from WDS Server or from a local volume: Network 
Adapter is immediately detected and gets an IP configuration from the DHCP 
server.

o   Note: This does not happen on the Surface Pro 3 with the same Network 
Adapter. The adapter gets detected even when booted with iPXE/wimboot.

*         Screen Resolution (not really an issue, just thought I'd mention it)

o   Hardware: Surface Pro 3

o   WinPE is booted with iPXE/wimboot: Screen resolution is low (1024x768 I 
think).

o   Same WinPE is booted from a local volume: Screen resolution is as high as 
it should be.

I used the latest wimboot release 2.5.2. I also edited the BCD to look the same 
as the BCD when I boot the WinPE from a local volume and used the rawbcd 
parameter for wimboot to make sure it won't modify it. The behavior stays the 
same.

Kind regards,
Roman Andres
