Re: Unable to use Intel Pro 100 with SMS OSD via RIS.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay in replying myself. I
Thought I would receive an automatic email informing me that I had a
reply??

In response to your question, yes I have tried a number of different
devices and different models with this Intel Card. Unfortuantely they
all fail. WinPE is able to retrieve WMI information as it retrieves
the make and model and chassis type.

It definately seems to be a driver problem of some sort as it runs
through, gets all the information until it get's to the Network stage.
Then it just comes back saying 'retrieved all network information' but
doesn't actually have anything. I have also tried using a non WMI
version of WinPe and then it looks like it runs an IPConfig instead of
a WMI query, but once again, it is unable to find any details. I have
used the LABShell to confirm it has network connectivity and I can ping
things on the network without a problem.

I actually have a call logged to Microsoft now and they are advising to
use a WinPE 2005 ramdisk which will basically boot the working CD
image. I have set this up and confirmed this works however it is
currently running really slow - over 2 hours per machine. I've got a
number of things to try and speed this up so I'll keep the post
updated. If anyone has any idea's or somebody can give details of
their working setup it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

.
