Make sure the bios clock is correct. I had physical servers I was trying to image and WinPE would fail. I was thinking it was NIC related. The bios clock was off, once I corrected. Everything worked.

I don't see the smsts.log. I believe this may be because the task sequence hasn't even started yet.

Once PE starts, this is generally the definitive log to review for all things OSD.

Presumably, this is the correct driver, but when I try to inject it into the boot image and retry, it still reboots and never gets into the task sequence.

Are you sure you downloaded the right driver? 32-bit vs. 64-bit? Does the DeviceID of the NIC match a DeviceID declared in the .inf files for the driver?

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.
