Make sure you are using the right driver. We use a Windows PE 4.0 image and while it will happily accept a Windows driver, Windows PE doesn't use it. Once we added the Windows 8 driver, our image worked fine on our 9020s. I think it has something to do with the NDIS version.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Buman, Brandon Sent: Friday, January 10, 2014 1:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] NIC driver not loading in WinPE Good afternoon: We recently received some Dell Optiplex 9020's that we are trying to deploy an image to and upon PXE boot it starts to boot into WinPE and then crashes. Everything that I have read points to the NIC driver not loading, so I've injected the driver into my boot.wim and it still fails. We are having no issue with any other Dell models and we are able to successfully deploys images to them. It's just these 9020's that have the issue. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
