I have an interesting problem, I'll see if I can describe it well enough. So it seems Windows PE and Windows proper are enumerating the ports on my Intel NIC in my PowerEdge R620 differently. f0-3 are the last part of the MAC for each interface.
BIOS and windows PE say: f0 - pxe on - connected (the server boots to this interface every time via PXE and applies wims and downloads other packages fine until the 'setup windows and configmgr' step. f1 - no pxe - disconnected f2 - no pxe - connected f3 - no pxe - disconnected after windows boots for the first time and I can get in Windows says f0 - disconnected f1 - connected f2 - disconnected f3 - connected This kills the second half of my TS on R620s because DHCP reservations are tied to 'f0', Windows never gets an IP. TS works fine on an M610, for example. I realize I can just change the bios to match windows and get around this on this server, but I'd hate to have to install windows on every other server just to find out which interface it will think is connected after the fact, then image it again... any ideas?
