I’m having some issues with deploying Dell Optiplex 3011 Windows images using Windows deployment services. What should be a quick win has turned into an head banging exercise! From the onset I was very sceptical about these systems so I’m not surprised that it has been such a pain.

I am using WDS (2012 Server) with the Windows 7 Boot image. I have injected the drivers for the realtek network card and for some reason the drivers will not load in WinPe.
I’m still banging my head…
[SOLVED]
After two days of trying to get this to work with the Windows 7 Boot.wim I finally gave up and added Windows 8 Boot.wim to WDS. Network drivers loaded and I was good to go!
Let the bit stream begin!
I still hate this system.
