Hp probook 5310m unicast issue

Hi Folks, we have just received a batch of HP probook 5310m and have encountered a strange imaging problem.
They can only seem to unicast one machine at a time. If you start unicasting another it will boot, load the imaging tool and begin to image, then it will stall and eventually fail with a time out.
We are running zen 7 sp1 on netware. I have already updated the PXE files useing the Jan 2010 patch from Novell. Other machines on the netware are not experiencing this problem.
The Probook has a Marvell Yukon 88e8072 Nic.
Has anyone experience this problem before, or have any sugestions ?

Nope, but here are some random thoughts...
As an experiment, obtain the latest imaging ISO and try manually imaging ( Boot, Choose Manual, blah, blah, blah, use img command ... ) and see if you have same issue when two are being imaged. prior ti using the img command check the MAC address of the two machines with ifconfig / ethtool...
My suspicion is that for some reason the MAC address / IP address is duplicated. Prior to running the imag command, each machine should have a distinct IP address - so ping from the ZCM server to the two workstations - simultaneously - to confirm this is not a comms issue. Ideally you will have some oddness when both machines are running, and be able to identify the cause.
On the other hand, perhaps it works when done manually... in which case... ??? Then you need to inspect what happening via PXE.
The other test would be to take a different model of machine and image it with the same ( wrong image for the machine, I know - but sometimes you gotta break some eggs ) just to see if the issue has something to do with the image file itself or some other creepy factor. You can always take the destroyed test machine and image it with the proper image when done to recoup it.

  • How do i make a clean install of widows on my HP Probook 5310m or my HP Laptop.

    Hi, how with a HP Probook 5310m can i use a Win 7 64 bit OS from my destop which is broken, i want to do an install with that disk.
    But i dont want to lose WIFI or any other specific drivers. I am rreasonably confident that I could install Mint Linux and everything would work fine that i needed. But Windows is not as easy. I am sure I would run into trouble. Or is there another way ?
    Should I do something now to prepare for the future, its a refurbished "new" Probook. I am only asking for future reference ?
    But my HP Laptop which cost a few thousand, is running so slow and its only a few years old, Win 7 pro 64 bit. Its a quarter, thats being kind of the speed it was and thats after uninstalling a lot of programs. All i really need is MS Office and MYOB ?
    Sorry its not with me now but im pretty sure it did not come with a copy of windows either ? I can ask about it in a new post with the correct details so right now i really will focus on the Probook Question thanks

  • Hp probook 5310m no sound in windows 7.

    hp probook 5310m no sound in windows 7. did i must install micosoft uaa just like in windows xp ?

    Hello,
    I purchased my HP Pavilion P6205UK Desktop on December 28th 2009.
    Early into January, my sound just cut out. No explanation of why, either.
    I'm running Windows 7.
    I've changed settings in the BIOS.
    I've tried to install the latest drivers from both HP and Realtek.
    I'm at the end of my tether, I'm going to throw this out the window if it doesn't get fixed.
    Help, please?
    I should add that the output device is my monitor, a HP 2009v.

  • Add internal bluetooth module for Probook 5310m, cannot receive files

    Hi, I tried to add internal bluetooth module for my probook 5310m, which should be very similar to 4311s and 5320m.
    I did installed the module and cable by following the maintenance guide, but there is something wrong about the driver so I cannot receive files through bluetooth from either my smartphone or my another laptop. My phone showed " The transfer is forbidden by the target device( which means 5310m)". 
    The bluetooth module I got is Broadcom 2070 bluetooth 3.0. My operation system is windows 7 ultimate 32. I tried driver package sp52773 and some earlier version but none of them works. I even let windows update drivers by itself, it still did not work. The only good part is my bluetooth headphone works perfectly and I can sent stuff out from my 5310m. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I really want to fix this since I use bluetooth a lot. I will really appreciate your help.
    Thank you again.
    Jing

    I found a way to fix this problem. I install the bluesoleil software and everything works fine finally. Thank god.

  • HP Probook 430 mousepad issue

    I'm having issues with the mousepad with several Probook 430. What happens is that after å while the mousepad gets choppy in the vertical direction. If i go in to the synaptics driver and reset, the problem disapears for a while. It also disapears while i hold down one of the mouse keys.
    I have tried to update mouse driver and bios without luck. I've been in contact with HP support, they have changed motherboard and mousepad on one of the computers, but the issue still remains.

    OK, found some kind of solution:
    in battery & power saving settings there is setting for CPU maximum state. If set on 70%, then I got desirable frequencies.

  • HP Probook 4530s performance issues

    Hello,
    I bought a brand new Probook 4530s from a local dealer two days ago.
    The specs of the laptop are available via the following page: http://www.1a.ee/print/?id=12973969&leasing_first_pmt=0&leasing_term=12
    The system had preinstalled SUSE Linux 11 due to which I formatted the drive and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The issue that I have is to do with the fact that the computer is dead slow and it seems not to be charging. It does say charging and the led light on the left side is on, but no actual charging takes place (maybe 1% per hour).
    In my opinion it does have something to do with the optimization of the i5 2450m processor. The processor scored a miserable 3.8 in the Windows Experience Index test.
    Maybe it does have something to do with drivers or the lack thereof but I didn´t find anything besides the ones provided at HP´s page located at: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5060882&...
    Any thoughts on how to make my laptop run like it should?

  • Probook 4530s Fan issue

    my probook 4530s running windows 7 home premium core i3 was one year old in june 2013. I have started to notice that the fan makes a loud noise sometimes. It use to run continually before and pick up speed when I use to play heavy graphic games which i presume is normal. Now I have noticed that the fan does not work that often and my processor heats up to 82c (doing normal browsing) and then the fan comes on, that also in small bursts.
    My friend also has the same model probook, he purchased it a year before me and when his one year was up had the same issue and replaced his fan.
    Is the fan spoilt?  
    if I replace it should I use an non flawed brand, which brand?
    Appreciate your support.

    You can try to clean your fan or replace thermal grease or thermal pad on the CPU which is under teh heat sink.
    You can get the tehrmal grease from any computer store
    Take a look at the link below for cleaning the FAN

  • Hp Probook 4530s having issues downloading windows 10

    I have tried to download windows 10 since it came out and said it was compatible with my current windows 7 but I am having issues now cause its saying it is not compatible . For the reason of the NX/XD in bios is not available or something so I went to go turn it on and I am unable to because of not being able to see it or find it. ANd then I go to Hp website looking for tech help and since my laptop is 4years old it out of warranty and they won't help me at all unless i pay them money for a small possible that they will even help me so that why i ended up here seeing if anyone can help me with my issues since Hp won't me at all unless i pay them money for help from them which in my opinion is ridiculous and horrible to do to your users. If I can't find answer this may be the last Hp Computer I ever buy cause of the lack of help from the company and the stupid hoops you have to jump through to get no where further. 

    Hey,
    I have exactly the same problem. No problems on WIN7, but since I have WIN 8.1 the problems with sound are everytime.
    If anyone can help, please.
    Thanks a lot

  • Battery not charging 5310m

    Hi - I have a month old ProBook 5310m which has been fine but the battery ran flat during use and will now not charge, it works on mains but says plugged in, not charging. Any ideas? Thanks for help

    We got six of these at work. Three of these got the same problem over the years. The first time the service dude tried to swap the motherbord with no result. I've could see when he opened the computer that there is a small board with the AC plug attached. Probably the charging and powermodule. He later returned with a new charger/powermodule and swapped it. That solved the problem.

  • Laptop dosenot run on battery

    product name- probook 5310m 
    problem - battery is charged but laptop doesnot run without AC plugged in and battery health is showing good on hp support assistant and also on icon of battery it shows plugged in, not charging,,... please help me out

    Hi asd123,
    I see you are getting the “plugged in not charging” message on your ProBook. As the ProBook 5310m is a commercial product I recommend that you post problem in the commercial forums to  get your issue more exposure.  Here is a link to the Commercial Notebook forum. 
    However this issue could simply be a problem with the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery which is basically the driver that communicates between the computer and the battery. There is a chance that it is corrupted.  The steps below will show you how to reset it.  For additional help check out the commerical forum.
    Step 1. Go to Device Manager
    Step 2. Select Batteries
    Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
    Step 4. Click Uninstall
    Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
    Step 6. Shutdown the computer
    Step 7: Remove the battery for minute and then put it back in
    When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
    Step 8. Go to Device Manager
    Step 9. Select Batteries
    Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
    Step 11. Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
    Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
    Thank you,

  • Sysprep unattend file not applying when image is captured with wds (no errors)

    So I've been around the block a bit using sysprep and wds.  Recently I've created a reference image with a virtualbox environment using windows 7 x64. I was succesfully able to create a reference image, sysprep it and capture it to the wds server. My
    plan there after was to create driver specific images for each model computer we use here after not having much success using the driver store (another story)
    Any how So I take my reference image and deploy it to a new computer... In this case an HP Probook 5310m.  Install any missing drivers and Sysprep it with the following command.  sysprep /generalize /oobe /unattend:unattend.xml /shutdown

    The machine succesfully syspreps and shuts down. I restart the computer pxe boot and capture the image succesfully.
    Now here comes my problem...
    Upon deploying the above driver specific image.. my sysprep file is not applied.  Nothing from the OOBE wizard answers to the pc logo , or first logon commands are applied ... nothing.. I have gotten no errors during this whole process.  I have
    started to try to read the logs within the panther folder but havent gotten far.
    What is weird to me is that I have tried recreating this image... deploy the reference image... add drivers ... sysprep ...shutdown.  And if I boot normally (without capturing the image) the computer shows all of the sysprep changes..  Only when
    i capture the image does it not apply the changes....
    I'm stumped...
    Any ides?

    Confirm this scenario: You installed Windows, then ran sysprep and used the /unattend switch. Then you captured the image.
    In this scenario there are 2 deployment methods.
    1. If you deploy the image with DISM, the answer file generated by sysprep is detected on first boot and settings are applied. It is the same function as if you ran sysprep and chose to restart.
    2. If you deploy the image using Setup.exe, it does not use the answer file specified by sysprep prior to capturing. I have not looked into *why* this happens, but I suspect that after the image is applied, it replaces the unattend.xml with the generic one.
    If you are using Setup.exe, you need to use its /unattend switch and point to the answer file location. This location cannot be inside of the image. If you are not using setup.exe in a manual method (using WDS) you will need to apply the answer file to the
    install image in the WDS snap-in.
