Lenovo M93p SCCM PXE boot

@arriettyYou can try this driver, it has solved the problem I had with pxe boot on this model https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6iKWIN8V5CVdWE3N1hsMmVydHM/edit?usp=sharing We forget very easily that you do not need the driver for the version of Windows you will deploy, but that you must use the driver for the version of Windows that WinPE is built on, in this case it's Windows 8/2012. In SCCM 2012 (not R2) is WinPE 4.0 (Windows 8/2012) and is WinPE 5.0 in R2 (Windows 8.1/2012 R2)

After messing with it for some time now, I went as far as opening up the WinPE.wim and add every folder and driver available from Intel using 18.8 and still get invalid nic drivers. I am currently using SCCM 2012 (non-CU1) and I understand I get an error when I just try to import that one and only e1d63x64.inf. Verified in the Windows 8 Device Manager that it is calling for that specific driver type. The following error:The selected driver is not applicable to any supported platforms. Now that I am unstanding perhaps I am not able to Import due to Windows 8 support but what alarms me is that I am not trying to Image Windows 8, I am using Windows 7 deployment only.... Other report that is how to go around resolving it, not working for me on MTM 10A9. Today I used dsim tool to add the .inf to the boot image, and replaced the existing boot.wim on the USB stick with the one i created, still getting the same results: No nic driver available. Anyone from Lenovo have a word on this where I can use these drivers like the other 95% of your product works fine on? Any suggestion would help. Eric

  • Lenovo X1 Carbon PXe boot errors with SCCM 2007

    I know there are many posts on this and I've gone through them all, but I am still having issues PXe booting a X1.  I have a USB ethernet dongle (the new type with the rounded edge). the part number is 0b67708. It's branded Lenovo but when I pxe it recognises it as ASIX AX88772b. So far so good. It picks up an IP from DHCP ok, recognises the hardware as x64 and then tries to download the \smsboot\boot.sdi file from the SCCM 2007 server. It waits for 20 seconds then falls over with the following:
    Status: 0xc0000001 - Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
    Now, I have the the following drivers in the boot.wim file:
    x86 -
    1. Lenovo USB2.0 Ethernet Adapter 5.12.7.0
    2. PCI bus
    3. Intel ICHR/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller
    4. Intel USB 3.0 Root Hub
    5. Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller
    x64 -
    1. Lenovo USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter 5.14.4.0
    2. PCI Bus
    3. Intel ICHR/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller - 2821
    4. Intel USB 3.0 Root Hub
    5. Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller
    I have tried using the ASIX drivers, all previous driver version, adding in the mass storage drivers, adding in the USB 3.0 drivers, praying to the PXe gods but nothing works.
    All other hardware works fine. Any suggestions greatly welcomed.
    Cheers - Mark.

    Make a USB recovery drive before reinstalling.Thats the only option with a preload. With a retail serial number, you can download an iso with the upgrade assistant.
    Also, how much ram do you have. If yopu have more than 4GB, you will need 64 bit XP, or the performance will take a hit. I tried XP on my W530, but I had to change several settings in the BIOS/UEFI.
    W530(2436-CTO): i7-3720QM, nVidia Quadro K2000M,16GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, 128GB mSATA SSD, Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome, Centrino Ultimate-N 6300.
    Yoga 3 Pro: Intel Core-M 5Y70, Intel HD 5300, 8GB RAM, 128GB eMMC, Windows 8.1, Broadcom Wireless 802.11ac.

  • After PXE boot to machine nothing shows up. Blank SCCM page with no option to install OS images.

    I am working on using PXE with SCCM 2012 and finally got my test VM to boot with the standard x86 boot image. This is the process:
    1. Start up VM with no OS
    2. Contacts SCCM and I press F12 to Network Boot
    3. Boots into a SCCM screen and says " Windows is starting up" then " Preparing Network Connections".
    4. Then all i see is a blank screen. After about a minute it will just reboot.
    I found this post that discusses adding the drivers need for the boot images:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/fd96466b-0521-48d8-b31e-4477468982fe/sccm-pxe-boot-initiated-but-nothing-happens-after-that?forum=configmgrosd
    I added the entire VMware tools Driver folder to both my boot images. (All it had in there was a SCSI adapter)
    Tried to redo the PXE and still get the same menages with the blank screen after that. 
    What am I missing here? 

    Sounds like your boot image is missing network drivers...
    Couple of checks though:
    If the VM in case has already been introduced somehow to ConfigMgr, check Devices -node from the console and search for "Unknown", if there are objects named "Unknown" (not the default x86 or x64 objects!), delete them
    Add command line support (F8) to your boot image
    Boot your VM, as soon as you get in to WinPE, hit F8 to open command prompt
    Run ipconfig to see if the VM get's IP address
    If the VM doesn't get IP address, you probably don't have the correct network driver in your boot image. You can obtain the correct driver by installing OS (the same architecture as you boot image, and based on the same FullOS of your boot image, ConfigMgr
    2012 RTM=WinPE3.1=Windows 7, SP1=WinPE4.0=Windows 8, R2=WinPE5.0=Windows 8.1)  on to your VMware VM and then use this tool:
    http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ConfigMgr-Driver-Injector-aae7d17d to capture the needed drivers. Then you can import those drivers to ConfigMgr, categorize them and add the LAN and SCSI drivers to your boot image.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 PXE Boot to Lenovo T540p 20BE

    Can someone help me PXE Boot a Lenovo T540/T440 laptop? Is there some type of settings that need to be changed in the BIOS or something?
    It keeps failing and Lenovo Phone Support could not tell me how to do it.
    I performed the following per Lenovo Tech Support:
    I first go into BIOS>Security>Secure Boot>Disabled
    Startup>UEFI/Legacy Boot>Legacy Only
    Restart>Load Setup Defaults>OS Optimized Defaults>Disabled
    I press FN + F12 to network book, this appears in 1 second:
    Your PC needs to be repaired
    The Boot Configuration data for your PC is missing or contain errors.
    File:\boot\bscd
    Error Code: 0xc000000f
    This occured on a brand new T540p out of the box. I am getting these on all 4 of my laptops that just arrived today. Can anyone help me out here or guide me to the right direction?
    Note: I downloaded the SCCM Package drivers from Lenovo Support site and updated my Boot Images x86 and x64, still nothing.

    I can create an USB OSD bootable media and that works just fine but I do not want to USB Boot image 30 machines over the course of this fiscal year...sigh

  • PXE boot issue with DHCP and SCCM server on different subnets

    I'm working with a client on the operating system deployment module of SCCM.
    Their network configuration currently has a single large subnet for client
    computers with a DHCP server on the same subnet. The SCCM subnet is
    configured on a seperate subnet with no DHCP server on the subnet. We want to
    configure client computers to be able to boot using the PXE client to deploy
    OS images to the machines but can not get PXE-boot to work correctly.
    Also, the client does not want to make changes to their network
    infrastructure routers or switches to remedy this problem. Are there settings
    on the DHCP or SCCM servers we can implement to make this work? If so, what
    needs to be installed or configured on each server. We currently already have
    WDS installed on the SCCM server and the SCCM server is configured as a PXE
    Service Point within SCCM. Both WDS and the PXE Service Point seem to be working fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    I am Brazilian,
    sorry for wrong english
    My DHCP is on linux,
    in my own structure VLANS
    The system center is on the network
    10.0.4.0/24
    The machines on the network 10.0.5.0/24
    The problem is that the machines that
    are not on the same network system center
    can not boot
      I tried configuring / etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
    follows
    option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
    option bootfile-name "\

    But it did not work, anyone know
    how to configure?

  • Machines cannot PXE boot using SCCM 2012 DP

    There are a lot of posts about PXE boot, but I can't find the common thread to tie them all together.  My test machines cannot PXE boot.
    My lab environment is very simple:
    10.10.0.0/24 subnet
    10.10.0.10 = W2k8 R2 DC, DHCP, DNS
    10.10.0.11 = SCCM2012 (on W2k8R2 with SQL Server 2008 SP3 and CU4)
    All machines are Hyper-V virtual machines connecting through the same virtual network.
    Setup the PXE service from DP properties.  I let SCCM install WDS.  WDS in Server Manager does not have a server node, but the WDS service is running.  DP PXE tab is configured as follows:
    "Enable PXE support for clients" is checked
    "Allow this distribution point to resond to incoming PXE requests" is checked
    "Enable unknown computer support" is checked
    "Require a password when computers use PXE" is not checked
    "User device affinity" is set to "Allow user device affinity with automatic approval"
    PXE is configured to respond on all network interfaces
    The PXE server response delay is 0 seconds
    The DHCP server has options configured as follows:
    Option 66: 10.10.0.11
    Option 67: smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com
    Both DP and MP on SCCM server are configured for HTTP.
    Both x86 and x64 boot images have been distributed to DP.  The media was updated after PXE was enabled on the DP.
    Both x86 and x64 boot images have "Deploy this image from the PXE service point" enabled on the Data Source tab of their properties.
    I have tried both unknown computer task sequence and a computer import task sequence (old computer association).  They all end in abortpxe.com

    2012.
    If I connect using boot media, Task Sequences execute perfectly.

    Those options are fine when using DHCP options. They must be configured right because ConfigMgr does send a reply to the client ("abortpxe"). It basically tells you that ConfigMgr knows the MAC address and/or SMBIOSGUID of the client, but cannot find
    a deployment for it.
    Just find ResourceID 16777218 in the console (you might have to add the ResourceID column) and double check if there's an deployment available (properties of the client with resourceID 16777218).
    Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de
    Your answer really helped me. I was searching for 2 days trying to find a computer in Config Manager. Your suggestion to "Just
    find ResourceID 16777218 in the console (you might have to add the ResourceID column) and double check if there" was the trick to finding the computer in Config Manager. Thanks for all of your help

  • T61s, T60s & older model unable to PXE boot to SCCM (MAC address problem)

    Hi, 
    We have a series of T60, T61 & older machines that are unable to PXE boot to SCCM. The T400 & X series & other newer models can boot just fine. 
    After checking further, we realised that only a certain range of MAC addresses are unable to pxe boot i.e 
    00-1A-XXXXXXX
    00-1C-XXXXXXX 
    range.. all the other range of MAC addresses are fine to boot via network. 
    The error when doing network boot  is "bad or missing discovery server list" 
    Also, we are running on SCCM 2012 at the moment. Our branch office who is running SCCM 2008 can have all the machines - regardless of models & brand boot just fine. 
    Any ideas?  Much appreciated. 

    did it obtain IP address from DHCP server? is DNS server address is configured in DHCP scope? can you ping using IP address?
    if drivers are proper will suggest to update it in boot media & enable command line support to make it easy for deployment & troubleshooting.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 Won't PXE Boot

    I'm trying to get PXE booting to work on our SCCM 2012 R2 server and am getting the dreaded "PXE-E53: No Boot file Name Received."  DHCP server is in same subnet on a different machine, so supposedly no DHCP options or ip helpers are necessary.  I'm
    testing using a client VM with the legacy adapter for the NIC, and that machine PXE boots fine from our SCCM 2007 server.
    When I test, I've been shutting down the SCCM 2007 server so that the 2012 machine is the only PXE server on our network. 
    In a nutshell, I'm trying to deploy Windows 8.1 using
    this as a guide. The x86 and x64 boot images are enabled for PXE distribution and I've deployed the task sequence for the 8.1 OS image to all unknown computers.  The DP  shows content for the OS image and the boot images.  PXE on the DP is enabled
    and checkmarked to listen for PXE requests on all interfaces and for unknown computer support. 
    For troubleshooting I've tried unchecking all the PXE settinging in the DP, which removes WDS and then putting it back, as well as removing the MP role and putting it back (see attached snippet of SMSPXE.LOG).
    I feel like I'm missing something basic here.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Jason.  Yes, the MAC addrss is the client I'm trying to PXE boot.
    I've reviewed the health in the monitoring section.  No issues in System Status, and in Content Status there is only one error regarding the DP trying to contact an old SCCM 2007 distribution point at a branch office.  This
    appears to be a leftover from the migration process from SCCM 2007.  This old distribution point is no longer in use and I can't seem to find any references to it on my SCCM 2012 R2 installation.  Not sure if this is significant or not. 
    I've attached a snippet of the error: 

  • SCCM WDS PXE Boot Authentication

    Hi All,
    The ability to do domain authentication for a PXE boot in RIS could be achieved by modifying the security directly on the image folder on the RIS server - however, I can't seem to implement the same access control in SCCM 2007 SP1 using WDS.
    I have set up the capability to build bare metal machines using the OS Deployment feature in SCCM. The image process is advertised to “All Unknown Computers” and starts with the “builder” hitting F12 on the workstation. The boot image is loaded from the DP share and then the process begins.
    My question is: How can I protect the PXE boot process by having the system request a domain Username and Password in order to begin the PXE boot process and also limit who can see the advertisements for the avialable images.
    Thanks,
    phil

    Hi,
    You can specify a password for computers that boot to PXE.

  • Is it possible to PXE boot to capture a ref image in SCCM 2012?

    Hello,
             I've created a master image via SCCM OSD. I would like to be able to PXE boot and capture that master image. I don't want to use a capture media like USB or CDROM.
    I would like to automate the capture. My current master machine isn't joined to the domain. I created a test task sequence of Build and Capture. I disabled the "Build" section. I deployed the task sequence. When I PXE boot I'm able to choose my
    Task Sequence but I get all kinds of errors.
    Is this idea I have even possible? 
    Using SCCM 2012 on Server 2012. Client machines are Win 7 Ent. and Win 8 VMs.
    Thank you,
    Brian
    Dr. Chuck

    You don't even have to deploy it to unknown computers if you introduce the VM to ConfigMgr by importing it to console with it's MAC Address. Then you do a collection "Build Master Image" and add your VM there. You can deploy Software updates (if you want
    them to go with the sequence) to that collection also. Deploy your TS to the collection and PXE boot your VM.

  • Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix servers.

    Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix DHCP servers.
    The client has DHCP on Unix servers. There are no Windows DHCP servers in the environment. Do we need Windows DHCP server for PXE boot.

    You can use any modern DHCP server in your environment.  DHCP is just used to help point the BIOS/Network Card to the right server, which in this case is your ConfigMgr Distribution Point with PXE Enabled.
    It is strongly recommended to use IP Helper Addresses instead of the DHCP options though.
    I hope that helps,

  • SCCM 2012R2 OSD PXE-boot-smstftp .var file download times out errorcode 0x00000001- at this point: "Preparing Network" and Reboots

     
    Hello All,
    Please I need help! I have not seen the above error without relationship to two of the  known causes for sometime during a Windows 7 osd in an SCCM 2012 R2 environment with a remote DP/PXE server. I understand this error: to occur when the boot images
    does not have "Network drivers in the past Winpe version ( i.e. 3.0, 4.0), not Winpe 5.0 which has all the Network and storage drivers for Windows 7" or when Port fast is not enabled on the switch port the pxe device is plugged into. These two causes
    stated here have been verified and confirmed not to be the cause in this case within the environment. The PXE boot device has ip-address (verified using ip-config, diskpart as well reveals the disk is online) and can ping the wds/pxe server and the sccm server.
    Port fast is enabled on the switch port the device is plugged into. I am stuck on this one; as I could not ascertain the cause on this occasion. 
    Please see details below and I welcome any help any body can offer, thanks in advance guys!

    Hi,
    According to the logs, this issue still should be related to network driver. It failed after network driver initialized. Please try to use another network driver.

  • SCCM 2012 PXE boot

    Hi All,
    I have some weird issue in which i am trying to image Esprimo C720 desktop.
    It is working perfectly fine if i create a standalone image via USB and build it.
    But when i try to PXE boot the same device, it takes ip and boots up after windows screen it restarts. I thought it wud be network drivers and i have updated the same in winpe but still it doesnt work.
    I feel Esprimo C720 is not supported for PXE boot. Can any one advice me if you wud have come across this issue
    Regards, Pratap

    Hi,
    I recommend you check the log file smsts.log.
    This can be found in one of several locations depending on the progress of the build and the architecture of the OS:
    Windows PE before HDD format: x:\windows\temp\smstslog\smsts.log
    Windows PE after HDD format: x:\smstslog\smsts.log and copied to c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
    Full version Windows before SCCM agent installed: c:\_SMSTaskSequence\Logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
    Full version Windows after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
    Full version Windows (x64) after SCCM agent installed: c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\Smstslog\smsts.log
    After Task Sequence has finished running: c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\smsts.log
    After Task Sequence has finished running (x64): c:\windows\sysWOW64\ccm\logs\smsts.log

  • PXE Boot a client to connect to a Remote Desktop Session Host/Terminal Server Farm via SCCM 2007

    Hi all,
    we've got a bunch of old desktops which are destined for disposal but i was wondering if we couldn't use them as disk-free clients to connect to our Remote Desktop farm. I did some digging and have managed to put together an iso which will boot
    the machine into WinPE and then connect to our farm. However, since it's an iso i have to use either a cd or usb for this to work. (This is pretty much what i did: http://www.iammacgyver.com/2011/02/easy-rdp-60-from-winpe-30-simple-boot.html) 
    What i want to do is to advertise the boot.wim to the client via SCCM so that it boots via PXE and then picks up the WinPE image and connect to the RD farm. I've imported the boot.wim file into SCCM under Boot Images and created an empty Task Sequence
    with the boot.wim as its Boot Image. I then advertised this Task Sequence to a collection which contains the old desktop clients. The machine PXE boots ok and loads up WinPE but rather than launch a remote desktop connection, it trundles through the normal
    WinPE stages and once it's finished 'Preparing Network Connections' it simply ends and the client reboots.
    Is what i'm trying actually possible?
    Can anyone tell me why the ISO works yet pushing the boot.wim out as a Boot Image doesn't? I know the boot.wim file (which is the same one present in the ISO) is ok since the client boots into WinPE fine when PXE booted so why doesn't the remote
    desktop session conenction launch? How is booting from the ISO different from booting from the PXE boot.wim file?
    Slightly long winded problem so many thanks in advance to anyone who can pass some info my way!

    It doesn't work because importing it into ConfigMgr injects binaries and the task sequence engine along with the process to launch the engine thus suppressing whatever you've got configured.
    Perhaps you could use a pre start command (pre-execution hook in 2007 parlance) to launch your RDP process though.
