Christopher Thanks for the link. Yes, that is essentially what we have done. Issue is however that there seem to be multiple device drivers of the same type for different iterations. As it turns out performance from the port replicator is atrocious so we have decided that the dongle is the only approach From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] Boot media with conflicting device drivers Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 16:04:17 +0000
Most usb 3.0 drivers are actually two part drivers. Here is the guide for the dell xps, the X1 should be similar. http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2012/06/05/integrating-dell-xps-13-usb-3-0-drivers-into-winpe-3-x/ Christopher Catlett Consultant | Detroit Sogeti USA Office 248-876-9738 |Fax 877.406.9647 26957 Northwestern Highway, Suite 130, Southfield, MI 48033-8456 www.us.sogeti.com From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Wallace Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 11:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] Boot media with conflicting device drivers Michael Thanks for the response. You are not missing anything whatsoever. This is indeed Lenovo but with the X1 Carbons which we are deploying they have hit us with two iterations of USB 2.0 dongles (which we are able to fix with importing both device drivers) and also two iterations of USB 3.0 Port Replicators. I know that the PRs don't have WinPE certified drivers but we wanted to try and use them if possible and that is where we came unstuck (quite possibly WHY the drivers are unsupported) Jason From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] Boot media with conflicting device drivers Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2013 15:14:11 +0000 I guess I might be missing something, but couldn’t you grab the WinPE driver packs from Dell, HP or Lenovo (assuming you’re using one vendors)? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Wallace Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 10:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Boot media with conflicting device drivers Hello folks Here's one which is driving me up the wall and I hope that someone can help me out. I cannot see a way around this. We are trying to OSD to a number of devices. The customer has multiple iterations of the same NIC but with the same PNP-ID and 100% incompatible device drivers. There really is no way of identifying the NICs in the system that I can see. The only away that I can see of being able to deploy OSs through WinPE would be to have multiple BOOT images and flip a coin as to which was tried on any one system. Thoughts?
