Thanks for the input, Warren. Oddly enough, the usb NIC that came from Dell with the laptop was not successful in joining the machine to the domain during imaging. I ended up having to use a non dell USB NIC to get it to work. There seemed to be issues with initializing that USB NIC at certain points during the imaging process.
If you would like me to provide any clarification on that, I am happy to do so.

The PXE support in the BIOS is usually keyed to only 1 USB NIC device, so taking a "try a different USB NIC" approach is guaranteed to generate frustration. We are trying to drive standardization of USB and dock NIC's at Dell to simplify OSD, but for various reasons that doesn't always happen. So make sure you start with the NIC that is for the given system and documented to support PXE on that platform.

We also have 3-4 different USB NIC's. Some models just seem to act stupid with different adapters. One doesn't seem to work, we plunk in a different one with a different mfgr NIC (many use the Axis NIC but there are others out there). Yes, it's frustrating.

It seems that at some point, once it reboots into windows, the usb adapter is literally not physically being seen by the laptop; unless you physically remove and re-instert the dongle. By then, the damage is done; the domain is not joined and the image does not complete properly.
