This seems to be coming up a lot lately. To my knowledge, there isn't an official support statement other than it has always worked and still should. I've heard of multiple cases however where using a 32-bit boot image caused issues that went away entirely when using a 64-bit boot image. No, that doesn't help, but as the world transitions to UEFI, you're going to have to do this anyway, so it's probably a good time for everyone to just start using the corresponding boot image. Yes, this will add a couple of small challenges, but they can be overcome by separating the two unknown computers into their own collections (among other ways).

It under the Setup Windows and Configuration manager step the problem comes. The step will complete in winpe, reboot the system to start the windows setup and it's during this setup win7 will bluscreen complaining that a critical device/driver failed.

From: Olsson Mats [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 11 June 2014 10:09 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] Issue with Intel nic drivers on W7 X64 deployment with 32 bit WinPE I have run into a very interesting issue with W7 X64 deployments. If we use 32Bit WinPE for this Task Sequence we will get a blue screen during installation if the machine has an Intel Nic The same TS will work for Virtual machines (VMware) If we use 64Bit WinPE for the same Task Sequence it will install correctly. This leads to the conclusion that there is some issue with the Intel drivers and the install driver package step in my TS. But since it works if I just use 64 bit boot media for the same TS it also seems to be related to the boot media. As I understand it is a supported scenario to deploy an X64 OS from a 32 bit PE. I have no ideas currently how to fix this so help please :) We do need the 32 bit PE so that we can fix Bios settings on our HP laptops in TS before they get an OS installed (TPM config for example) Best Regards Mats _____________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System on behalf of Leeds College of Building.
