I have had a lot experience imaging these devices; several different flavors of the G1 in fact. I started off using WinPE 4.0 – never added any storage drivers, but I did have to had the USB 3.0 drivers for the USB ports to work on the back of the dock in WinPE. Once we upgraded to SCCM 2012 R2 which uses WinPE 5.0 I didn’t have to add any drivers to the boot image. I would also recommend using a different USB to Ethernet adapter for each tablet if you’re going to be imaging several machines on the same dock. Have you asked Panasonic what version of WinPE they recommend using? Were you able to add any Ethernet drivers to the boot image? The initializing and then rebooting sounds like a nic driver issue. Post your smsts log if you can.

Hi @Paul Winstanley - Not injected any storage drivers yet, not for winpe @Josh Denzik - Yes UEFI is disabled in BIOS. @Joshua Delaughter – were working with a Panasonic sales engineer who advised just to add 2 drivers to winpe, although he provided links for W7 x64 and we need to build W7 x86 so I added the equivalent W7 x86 drivers for 1. Integrate the USB 3.0 driver below into the WinPE Image you are using: http://pc-dl.panasonic.co.jp/dl/docs/068250?dc%5B%5D=002001&lang=002&no=19&oc=001020&p1=198&p2=1980509&score=1.0&sri=7568074&trn_org=2 2. Integrate the USB to LAN driver below into the WinPE: http://pc-dl.panasonic.co.jp/dl/docs/068252?dc%5B%5D=002001&lang=002&no=17&oc=001020&p1=198&p2=1980509&score=1.0&sri=7568074&trn_org=2 I’ve seen Brain’s site, very helpful, great info on one click bundle installers, this is our next test, first we need to get it booting to build. Drivers in our winpe boot image. [cid:[email protected]] You may be curious why so many other drivers, this is as per G1A-WinPE3x-x86-Drivers.zip. we added (minus the LAN driver as it won’t add to the bootimage for some reason) from https://panaconsulting.egnyte.com/publicController.do?folderName=20130919&fileName=ec5303d954834fae#folder-link/One-Click%20Bundles/G1/G1A-MK1 Noticed also there was a BIOS update to allow legacy PXE lan cradle boot, this was v14, were on v18 of that ☹ Keep the ideas coming, thanks all.

By any slim chance does anyone here image Panasonic ToughPads, mainly FZ G1 MK1 and builds them via the docking station? (as no NIC port on the model we have) If yes, any tricks to getting to build via SCCM, trying to get W7 x86 image on them. We are having issues, it pxe boots, downloads the image, reboots into WinPE, says initializing, then nothing, once it reboots into WinPE we loose the keyboard connection, so dont even get to press F8 to check what issues it may have. According to Panasonic I need to add 2 lots of drivers to my boot image, USB 3.0 driver & USB to LAN driver which we added both but no joy. Any takers? Thanks Ricky.. SCCM 2007 SP2 R2.
