ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd+OneLinkPro Dock = No IP Address During Imaging (OSD) via SCCM 2012 R2

I'm trying to image a second generatoin X1 Carbon that also has a OneLinkPro dock attached via SCCM 2012 R2.
The USB stick is plugged into the dock, as is Ethernet & power.
When I boot into the preinstallation environment, I don't have an IP address.
The USB stick is fine - works on all 26 other devices here
The network cable is fine - I'm able to get an IP & image from other systems
I tried two OneLinkPro docks, same problem on both
If I use the Ethernet adapter, it works fine
I'm convinced its a driver issue at this point.
I was directed to www.lenovo.com/onelinkdrivers to locate OneLink dock drivers, and I've downloaded the package.
The downloaded EXE (tp_onelink_dock.exe) extracts to C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\Dock by default
In C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\Dock you have another EXE Setup_OneLink_Dock_Lenovo_v10826.exe
This immediately launches an installshield setup (run from %temp%)
There no options to extract the drivers - it just installs the drivers, and none of the switches I've thrown at it have yielded any results.
I found a data1.cab file but I can't seem to extract anything with 7Zip or expand
How are folks with second gen X1 Carbons who use SCCM for OSD successfully imaging those machines with the OneLinkPro dock? (without the use of the Ethernet adapter of course.)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Fauxlution:
Install drivers on an x86 machine
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Onelinkdock (or something like that)
Grab the driver directories & save them elsewhere
Repeat process for x64 machine because the installer will only install drivers for the architecture of the system its run on. (x86 system = x86 drivers; x64 system = x64 drivers)
Clean up the drivers (extra non-essential files in there)
Import both sets of drivers into SCCM
Bake architecture specific Realtek drivers into boot image
Couldn't be simpler.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen US keyboard type

Hi I have an X1 2nd Generation 20A7 and I have a french version of the keyboard where the esc is written as Echap.Which are the US compatible keyboards for my laptop?Can you give me some FRUs or any other codes so I can find it?Is there any compatibility with the backlit that I have to be carefullDoes lenovo sell those keyboards?Thanks

Good day.
You can find keyboard assembly FRU P/Ns in this parts listing:
https://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/x1_carbon_gen2_fru_bom_20150616.pdf
The keyboard and bezel look like they are all one assembly.
I've ordered parts through the maintenance parts portal. Not sure about international ordering/shipping, though.

ThinkPad 10 imaging via SCCM time

Hello,
I just got one of these cool tables and I like it.
The only problem is that it took me 6 hours to image it via SCCM USB boot media...
Is it just me?
Thanks in advance for the feedback
Edit... I know it has a usb 2.0... I have a USB 3.0 hub connected to a USB 3.0 LAN adapter if that matters

To get USB3.0 speeds we've discovered you need to use aLenovo USB3 adapter. There are two choices, one is a straight plug type, another is a Y-type which allows external charging. Generic USB3 connections to the micro-USB port link achieve USB2 speeds.
Er, the ThinkPad 10 does not have a micro-USB port? It only has a full-size USB 2.0 port, and as far as I am aware, the single USB 3.0 channel is externalised via the docking connector, for the USB 3.0 ports on the Dock.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1 vs Gen 2.

I have started using the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2 as my main work laptop this week, and have officially retired my ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1 for backup purpose. So far this is what i feel are the major positives of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2 vs Gen 1.
Positives:
-Better TrackPad
The quality of the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 1 trackpad is a definitively a plus compared to the old ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2. The surface finish of the ThinkPad Carbon Gen 2 is smooth, compared to the rough rubberised surface of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1. Also, the trackpad left and right click is more precise, and is not as loud as the ThinkPad Yoga, which is the main convertible tablet i use nowadays.
-Build Quality
ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1 that i got had some build quality issues, especially in the screen area and the TrackPad. Also, the overall fit and finish of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1 is lot worse than the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2. I have to say that the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2 fit and finish is top notch, it is the only ThinkPad that i can compare to the Macbook Air 13 that i got one year ago (yes i do have Macbook laptop).
Surface coating on the X1 Carbon Gen 2 is anodised hard layer over Magnesium Alloy for the main body chassis (i think the screen cover is CFRP, but i am not sure), rather than the more typical rubberised layer of the older ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1.
Palmrest on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2 also resists fingerprint and palm print rather well, even if your palm sweats heavily.
-Ports
The Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 2 definitely has an advantage over the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1, with its generous selection of ports. There are:
- full sized HDMI 1.4 port
-Mini DisplayPort 1.2
-Specialised Gigabit ethernet port (adapter included)
-USB 3.0 x 2.
-One Link Port
On the older ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1, i had to rely on the USB 3.0 for docking and ethernet needs.
-Screen
The WQHD IPS (there is also the 1600x900 resolution version which is same as old ThinkPad X1 Carbon) on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2 is simply superb, as there is no ghosting, contrast is great, and the viewing angle is superb too. The touch screen version of the screen has a gorilla glass type cover, which is protected by a matte plastic protector, while the non touch screen version uses has a matte surface, and it has better outdoor usability or under strong external lighting.
I highly recommend the WQHD screen for anyone whom wants a great viewing experience.
-Upgradability
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon has an internal 80 mm M.2 NGFF slot for the storage, and there is also a separate M.2 42 mm slot for the WWAN card (rumored to be able to be used as a secondary M.2 42mm slot), with an additional half height miniPCIe for the wireless card.
Obviously, there are also some flaws with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2.
Keyboard
The new keyboard placement does take a few day to get use to, especially if you frequently use other laptops. I frequently press on the delete ubtton when i try to press Backspace button.
Also, i have a habit of pressing Ctrl + Space bar for backlight, since the Fn button is no longer next to the Ctrl and now resides as a touch strip key 6th row.
Personally, i wished that the physical Fn key stays as a physical button next to the Ctrl button on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and use that to switch the touch strip function, rather than moving the Fn button to the 6th row.
The touch strip Fn row is pretty nifty idea, but i think one can use a 7th row for the touch screen, and keep the old 6th Function row.
TrackPoint
Personally i think the old TrackPoint physical buttons are better, the TrackPad integrated button for the TrackPoint still has to evolve a bit in the current guise to be true direct replacement for the old physical buttons in terms of usability. Ergonomics are just not there when compared to the old ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 1 TrackPoints' button.

Lenovo X1 Carbon 2015 - OneLink Dock Pro

Guten Tag, ich habe ein ThinkPad X1 Carbon von 2015. Hierfür habe ich mir eine OneLink Docking-Station gekauft. An der Docking-Station sind zwei TFT-Monitore angeschlossen. Ziehe ich die Docking-Station im laufenden Betrieb ab, werden die Desktop-Symbole so extrem klein angezeigt, dass man kaum noch was erkennen kann. Das liegt ja an den verschiedenen Auflösungen zwischen TFT und Notebook-Display. Hier hilft nur ein Neustart, da das Notebook buw- Windows die Auflösung skalieren kann. Für ein 2.000 Euro Premium-Notebook ist das absolut inakzeptabel, dass hier ein Neustart benötigt wird. Ich muss mehrfach am Tag den Arbeitsplatz wechseln und da ist das absolut nervig! Wie kann ich das Problem lösen, dass das Notebook die Auflösung automatisch anpasst beim Abziehen und Anstecken der Docking-Station? Vielen Dank! PS: Über den Lenovo-Support bin ich nicht weiter gekommen. Gruß

Soweit so gut.
Versuch mal bitte mit der Tastenkombination: STRG + ALT + F12 das Intel Control Panel für die Grafikkarte zu öffnen.
Sofern du Windows 8 oder 8.1 nutzt, wechsle bitte zuvor in den Desktop-Modus.
Wurde das Control Panel geöffnet kannst du in den Bereich "Anzeige" wechseln. Dort solltest du links den Bildschirm auswählen können und in der Mitte die jeweiligen Einstellungen.
Wenn du nun das System mit der Docking-Station betreibst und abziehst, wäre erstmal interessant ob sich die Einstellung dort ändern für den integrierten Bildschirm (müsstest also vorher und nacher vergleichen).
Was mich noch interessieren würde:
Nutzt du beim Betrieb mit der Docking-Station auch das integrierte Display oder klappst du das Gerät dann zu?

USB 3.0 devices not being detected on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon

After every reboot or cold boot, no USB 3.0 devices are detected on my
Thinkpad X1 Carbon Touch. (Intel Series 7 chipset)
There is a way to get them to be detected, but it doesn't survive a reboot
and it's ugly.
Go into device manger and uninstall the device "Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible
host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft)"
The do a "Scan for hardware changes"
Then everything is detected correctly.
Bob Comer

>Is it that specific driver?
It's a driver built into Windows 10.
>What if you try the Windows 7 driver available on Intel's website here?
I tried that, Windows 10 wont replace it's own driver. (Windows has
determined that the driver software for your device is up to date.)
>Hope that helps!
I've been fighting it for a long time. It's downright annoying. I can plug
it into my USB 2.0 port and it works all the time, but a lot slower, or
even plugging it into a USB 2.0 hub that's plugged into a USB 3.0 port
always works too, and slightly faster than the USB 2.0 port. (but not as
fast as USB 3.0)
I suspect it's some kind of power management issue to do with the driver,
devices aren't getting the power up signal so they just don't show up at
all. It could be a hardware difference, but the same devices just worked
on Win8.1 and below.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon scrolling not working

Hello,
I just received my new ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Type 20A7). This is running with Windows 7, 64 bits.
Scrolling from the touchpad (with one or two fingers) does not work.
I tried installing the latest drivers from Lenovo's website (although you would assume that the latest drivers are installed when you buy a new machine), but that did not help.
When I go to the control panel and to the advanced settings for the touchpad, I can see that the scrolling features are activated. They just don't work.
Sometimes, I notice that after startup, scrolling works for a couple minutes, then not anymore.
Could you please help me out?
Thank you,
Cheers.

Hi realkirua, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
Remember that this is users helping users here, moderated by volunteers like me. Although there is some Lenovo presence, they can't patrol the entire community. They do try to help with some of the broader issues.
The odd part about what you describe is that the UltraNav driver install fails (6hgx81ww.exe). Have you tried manually uninstalling the old one (Control Panel>Programs and Features) then runnning the installer again?
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Thinkpad X1 Carbon (3Gen) Battery Not Charging (plugged in not charging)

I have a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (Gen3) Model 20BS touchscreen running Windows 7 64 bit. The battery is not charging -- it's in a perpetual state of "plugged in not charging" and even when plugged in, it’s losing appr 1 percent per day (down to 31%). This has happened a few times over the past 3-4 months since I got the machine, but I've managed to find things that "fixed" it (at least temporarily): - Resetting the power gauge worked once - Changing the custom battery charge threshold worked a few times - Plugging in the power cord at different stages of reboot seemed to fix it once (although not sure why / how) Based on previous thread posts, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Power Manager and then tried to run Battery Gauge Reset, but to no avail. And the reset only appears to run for about 30 sec before the system tray icon switches back to normal. Thanks in advance. Karl

Protective film layer on ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch models

QuestionI just unpacked my new ThinkPad X1 Carbon touch and noticed that it appears as though the screen has a protective plastic film affixed to it. It is most noticeable around the mic and cam, where holes appear to exist.
I can't find any documentation saying that this should be removed, and it's not easy to pry the sheet off at the corners (in fact, I've had zero luck, but haven't tried much because I don't want to damage anything). Do I keep trying to pry the sheet off or assume it's part of the design?
Answer
There is a protective film layer that covers the display and should not be removed.
This extends over the viewing area and stops about 1/32" from the edge. There are circular reliefs around the camara and two microphone ports at the top of the screen where this layer can also more easily be seen.

This film is unbelievably frustrating. I am switching jobs and chose to stay with the T440s under my new employment, although I had to get a new laptop. This time I chose to go with the touchscreen version, only to now see a film that causes graininess across my entire screen. I am coming from a T440s non-touchscreen with the AUO display (got lucky with that one) and that picture quality is exactly what I was wanting. I am highly disappointed in this unremovable film and will certainly be calling in regarding this. Is there any way to completely and safely remove it? I get the sense it is no more important to the screen than say a Zagg screen protector would be, IE touchscreen wll work perfectly fine without it, etc. Very frustrating as screen protectors like this ALWAYS cause some kind of disruption in the picture quality and I never saw mention of this film in any of the reviews I read about the touchscreen of this laptop.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Repair... why so long?

I purchased a ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop in early November, since I really needed a PC (I regularly use a Mac) to work with a few applications. However, 3 weeks into using the laptop, its printscreen button fell off, and I have only used it once or twice. I called the customer support and delivered it to my local service centre. I asked customer support how long it would take to repair my laptop, and the representative said "around 5 business days". It has been at least 5 weeks since I dropped off my laptop at the service centre and they told me they're still waiting for the parts to arrive to repair my laptop.
I bought this laptop for school work that requires a PC and now school's starting again, and my laptop is not ready and I don't even know when it'll be ready. I am very frustrated - I mean, it is only the keyboard that needs reparation and why is it taking THIS long? I bought a laptop to use, not to wait for a simple reparation for 5 weeks. And now I have no laptop to use and this is seriously interfering with my school work.
Is there a way to formally file a complaint on this case?
Any suggestion would help, thanks!

I went through this exact same thing with my X1 Carbon. It took 4-5 weeks to the point they were still waiting on a keyboard replacement that was backordered. Eventually they just said I can get a replacement model and I waited for the X1 Carbon Touch.
I now have the X1C Touch and the touchscreen barely works. It's going back and I am done with Lenovo. This has been ongoing since August and I've had to resort to using a Sony Vaio from 3 years back that has less problems than these brand new "high-end" Lenovo ThinkPads.

T540p - Thinkpad Pro Dock - 90w model 40A1009xx - SCCM 2012 r2 Task Sequence

My company receently purchased 40 Lenovo T540p and 40 Pro Docks
We are using SCCM 2012 r2.
I downloaded the sccm driver package for the Lenovo T540p.
Imaged the laptop and all seemed okay until I connected it to the docking station.
First off it would not recongize anything connected to the usb's so I reinstalled the usb 3.0 driver.
When I did that it did recongize usb deviced, but now the dock shows up as an unrecongized device.
Also if I undock the laptop and redock it I have to reboot the laptop for it to recongize what is connected to the usbs in the back.
Note there are no video problems.

We do not create SCCM driver packs for the Edge line of products. As an alternative you can use Update Retriever to download hardware drivers for a selected model and then use the Export feature to create a folder containing the source files for the drivers. This can then be used in the Driver Import Wizard which will locate the INF files and only import the files referenced by the INF files.
You mention you are using SCCM 2012 R2. This means you should be using the Windows ADK for 8.1 which also means your boot images should be using Windows PE 5. For your boot images you should be using the Windows 8.1 driver (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/herr01ww.exe)
In your OSD task sequence you need to be deploying Windows 7 drivers (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/her101ww.exe)
Make sure you keep these separate. Meaning you should have a driver package for the Windows 7 drivers that you reference in an Apply Drivers task and this package should not include the Windows 8.1 drivers. Add just the 8.1 drivers to the boot image.

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 IP for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS which is in a different .Domain

Hi,
Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 Ip for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS . ?
Scenario: We are building 1 SCCM 2012 primary site and 2 DPs in one domain . In future this will attach to a CAS server which is in different domain. Can we assign 2 IPs in Primary site server , one IP will use to communicate with its 2 DPs and second
IP for communicating with the CAS server which is in a different domain.?
Details:
1)Server : Windows 2012 R2 Std , VM environment .2) SCCM : SCCM 2012 R2 .3)SQL: SQL 2012 Std
Thanks
Rajesh Vasudevan

First, it's not possible. You cannot attach a primary site to an existing CAS.
Primary sites in 2012 are *not* the same as primary sites in 2007 and a CAS is 2012 is completely different from a central primary site in 2007.
CASes cannot manage clients. Also, primary sites are *not* used for delegation in 2012. As Torsten points out, multiple primary sites are used for scale-out (in terms of client count) only. Placing primary sites for different organizational units provides
no functional differences but does add complexity, latency, and additional failure points.
Thus, as the others have pointed out, your premise for doing this is completely incorrect. What are your actual business goals?
As for the IP Addressing, that depends upon your networking infrastructure. There is no way to configure ConfigMgr to use different interfaces for different types of traffic. You could potentially manipulate the routing tables in Windows but that's asking
for trouble IMO.
