When deploy: Wizard error a connection to the deployment share could not be made "check physical connection"

Hello everybody,
yet another issue with deploying a masterdisk. I will give you a short explanation of the situation.
I need to deploy Windows 8.1 PRO x86.
Using: Microsoft Deployment Workbench Microsoft Version: 6.2.5019.0
1. Reference PC: Windows 8.1 PRO x86 is installed on ORACLE Virtual Box.
2. I installed MDT on my workstation Windows 7 x64, where "C:\DeploymentShare\Windows8" is located.
3. To change the Unattended.xml file, I have second ORACLE Virtual Box with
Windows 8.1 PRO x86 with MDT, which connected to the DeploymentShare of Windows 7 x64.
- The reason is because the Reference PC is x86 and the Unattended.xml file can be changed only if MDT is installed on x86 Windows, otherwise it is not possible.
The image capture is successful.
Then I create bootable USB device using rufus-1.4.12.exe. I use: C:\DeploymentShare\Windows8\Boot\LiteTouchPE_x86.iso
I use a real PC (not virtual machine) and when the deployment starts
I see:
1 Welcome screen, where I select: Run the deployment wizard to install a new operating system.
2. The next screen is an error screen where I see the error:
"Wizard error
A connection to the deployment share (\\ComputerName\C\DeployemntShare )could not be made
DHCP Lease was not obtained for any Networking devices!
Possible cause: Check physical connection
I am relatively new with MDT.
Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Nick,
Thank you for the answer!
Yesterday, I figured out that I need to create an offline bootable disk.
The issue is caused, because creating a bootable disk with rufus.exe include only the ISO file and not the WIM file. That is the reason why during OS installation process it asks me for the shared folder...

Unable to launch Litetouch.vbs (LiteTouch.wsf) from UNC path - A connection to the Deploayment Share Could not be made

I am having a difficult time figuring out this issue. Here is the back story. The particular deployment share is not used in the traditional sense of deploying OS images. Instead, it is only used in deploying applications. I actually have three shares that
do this catered to three different clientele groups; IT, teachers and students.
I have these shares set up so that the Litetouch.vbs is used as a login script and tied to specific AD accounts. When launched, it goes through the normal MDT gathering process and eventually shows a list of applications to select to install.
And this has and still is working perfectly for several years with both wired and wireless computers, until recently.
My issue, I'm afraid, is with the new Intel Dual Band 7260 wireless cards/drivers (both N7260 and AC7260. The reason I suspect this is because any other desktop or laptop will launch the VBScript just fine and bring up the list of software like it has always
done. However, if I UNC to the share and try to manually run LiteTouch.vbs, I get the "A connection to the deployment share cannot be made. Connection OK. Possible cause: Invalid credentials." That's right. I can UNC to the shares all day long, but
when launching the LiteTouch.vbs or LiteTouch.wsf scripts, I always get the above error. So the wireless is working, in a way. Just not the way I need it to. I've tried different versions of drivers all with the same error. I've launched other VBScripts that
I've wrote from UNC paths and they run fine.
I am using a Domain Admin account to connect back to the deployment share through MDT. My account is a domain admin account. The share permissions are full control for Everyone and Domain Admins. The folder permissions are Read Only for Everyone and Full
Control for Domain Admins. Like I stated, this works fine on any other system.
When I look at the BDD.log file, sometimes I don't see anything, but most of the time I see the line "No physical adapters present. Cannot deploy over wireless." Which, in my case, is not true because I can use any other laptop with older
Intel wireless cards, Broadcom, Atheros or whatever and it works perfectly. And, if I hardwire the offending laptops and use Ethernet instead of wireless, I can launch the VBScript and proceed just fine.
I guess my question is, is there a way to force MDT to use any network connection, whether it's wired or wireless to deploy anything. In my case, it would be software.
We use this option as a way for students in our high schools to be able to log in with a special account and install specific software they may need for a class. It is easier to have them do it this way than to try and install different software for
different classes on a total of 4000 laptops.
I am currently running Windows Server 2012 R2 with MDT 2013. The laptops are running Windows 7 SP1 x64 Enterprise and Windows 8.1.1 Enterprise.
Any help or ideas anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated.
~Mike

I understand that you got MDT to work on other adapters, and I understand that some people dislike the AC series.
However...
I must strongly disagree with your conclusion:
the Intel 7260 cards just will not work for this scenario. Any other wireless card works
perfectly fine...
As designed, MDT is coded to block Wireless deployment scenarios. However, the algorithm used to determine if a network adapter is wired vs wireless is highly flawed, it will check the description (caption) of the network adapter and search for the string:
"Wireless". And if I recall, it is difficult to determine Wireless vs Wired within a VBSCript.
Set colAdapters = objWMI.ExecQuery("select * from win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration where IPEnabled = True")
For Each oAdapter in colAdapters
If Instr(UCase(oAdapter.Caption),"WIRELESS") = 0 Then
If oAdapter.IPConnectionMetric < sIPConnectionMetric Or sIPConnectionMetric = "" Then
sIPConnectionMetric = oAdapter.IPConnectionMetric
End If
End IF
If Instr(UCase(oAdapter.Caption),"WIRELESS") Then
sWirelessConnectionMetric = oAdapter.IPConnectionMetric
End If
Next
If sIPConnectionMetric = "" Then
oLogging.CreateEntry "No physical adapters present, cannot deploy over wireless", LogTypeError
ValidatenetworkConnectivity = Failure
Exit Function
End IF
On my Lenovo W530, for example, when I disable my Wired connection, my wireless adapter reports:
PS C:\> gwmi -query "select * from win32_NetworkAdapterconfiguration where IPEnabled = true" | select-object Caption
Caption
[00000002] Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN
AS you can see, no "Wireless" in the caption string. A connection to the deployment share works just fine.
Therefore...
Yes, you *may* have gotten the installation to work on the machines that *just happen* to not have "wireless" in the caption, but I would not count on this to be true on all machines in a corporate environment.

Error 720 a connection to the remote computer could not be established win 8

hello, i have this error on my windose 8, error 720 a connection to the remote computer could not be established ,for VPN connection, how can i fix it ?

Hi，
For this issue,I would like to know your VPN protocol.
Did you use Windows in-built VPN client?
I think the issue is related to your security software or Firewall.
Let’s temporarily disable other security software and Windows firewall to check if that helps.
If it doesn't work, please uninstall the third-party security software or firewall to test it.
Also, please check your event view to see if there are some related error in it.

A connection to the deployment share could not be made - Networking device did not have a driver installed

I have a couple of HP 8200 desktops that I think might have bad nics. When I PXE boot them and start my LiteTouch, I get a Wizard error that says
A connection to the deployment share (\\mydpshare\share) could not be made. The following networking device did not have a driver installed
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_1496103C&REV_04
I have that driver in MDT and it works on other HP 8200s. Looking into the Wpeinit.log, it looks like the driver loads but maybe the nic is bad:
Installing device root\kdnic X:\WINDOWS\INF\kdnic.inf succeeded
Installing device pci\ven_8086&dev_1502 X:\WINDOWS\INF\net1ic64.inf succeeded
Spent 16903ms installing network drivers

Has anyone seen this before?

Hi,
According to your description, it should be Intel NIC driver problem. I have checked HP official website, there is new NIC driver released, please access to the link below to download the NIC driver for test:

A connection to the deployment share could not be made. connection ok

hi,
i have deployment windows 7 by MDT，and there is something wrong with the test. i have a MDT Service and 2 clients that one is updated and another is used to capture the image.but when i captured the image,there is error."a connection to the deployment
share could not be made. connection ok"

i create and capture the image from a physical
machine,and i create the network drivers on the MDT console. And it will generate the winPE.When i capture
and restart the machine, it will get the error.

A Connection to the deployment share could not be made....

Hi,
I know this question has been posted a fair number of times on the forums but so far none of the responses have fixed my issue.
I am having trouble connecting to the deployment share receiving the error message below.
"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The deployment will not proceed.
The following networking device did not have a driver installed PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_00041179&REV_10"
I have downloaded the correct network drivers and even installed Windows 7 manually and added
the drivers to check they are correct drivers.
I have added them to the OOB drivers in the deployment share and then updated and also regenerated
the deployment share. Then i have updated the .wim file in the boot images folder but yet i still cannot get past this stage.
Does anyone have any further ideas that i could try?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi,
I can exit to cmd and attempt ipconfig/ping etc. but get confirmation that there is no IP.
The imaging process is working for older versions of laptops and Netbooks but not for the newer models. They are all Toshiba models.

Connection to the deployment share could not be made (network driver not installed)

Hi guys! i bought the new laptop Dell Latitude E6510 and try to install the enterprise image but i got the error:
"A connection to the deployment share could not be made. The deployment will not proceed. The following networking device did not have a driver installed PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10EA&SUBSYS_040B1028&REV_05."
I look on internet and i found out that it is the intel network card driver missing. So i get the driver from Dell website and i added this drivers in the MDT console.
Then i have updated the deployment share to rebuild the boot images. Everything went fine but i always get this error.
Am I missing something ?

I too was having the problem...
the single thing that I was forgetting is that while I was recreating & regenerating the images in the deployment workbench. I wasn't burning & booting from a CD...
because (aha) I'm clever & using Windows deployment services to boot across the network & save all that time burning CDs etc.
Doh, I didn't update the WIM that WDS was using...
Open your windows deployment services console,
expand out servers : <server name> : boot images
Right click your boot image (I have 2, one for x86 & one for x64),
choose "replace image" then navigate to your newly regenerated WIM images
(probably C:\deployment_share\boot) & choose the appropriate WIM file.
do this for any images you have, reboot your client machine & BAM, deployment goodness.
MS should really add a module for PXE boot (etc) into the deployment workbench rather than have 2x deployment solutions & use the deployment module from one & the boot module from the other.
Anyhoo, works now, must make a mental note to remember this in future...

Thank you for this. This resolved the issue that I had.

Windows VPN: Error 720 - A connection to the remote computer could not be established

Dear all
I have a windows7 Laptop 64bit Dell 1340.
I was working with a UMTS card, was connected with a VPN to a windows 2003 server over PPTP and experienced a bluescreen. After this, I have the following errors when connecting to the VPN:
"Registering your computer on the network... Error 720: A connection to the remote computer could not be established. You might need to change the network settings for this connection"
and in the event view I receive the following:
EventID: 1, Source RasSstp
CoId={A3478DFD-FFA4-4E8F-9DA3-CE829BDA777B}:The initial Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol request could not be successfully sent to the server. This can be due to network connectivity issues or certificate (trust) issues. The detailed error message is provided below. Correct the problem and try again.
I tried to use the Rarepair.exe tool but it looks to work only on windows xp. I deleted the IP and TCP settings without any luck.
I run a registry cleaner as well with out any luck.
Your help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Since it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
If system restore doesn’t help, please also try the following:
1. Check if you can establish the VPN via other connections except the connection through the UMTS card.
2. Reset the PPTP and L2TP WAN miniport with running the following commands one by one in an elevated command prompt:
Netcfg -u MS_L2TP
Netcfg -u MS_PPTP
Netcfg -l %windir%\inf\netrast.inf -c p -i MS_PPTP
Netcfg -l %windir%\inf\netrast.inf -c p -i MS_L2TP
Then reboot the computer and see how it works.
Meanwhile, I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

Most of of what I found recommends uninstalling the WAN Miniport (IP), it seems that I have to go thru so many hoops to get this fixed. Wondering if I would be better off rebuilding my machine from scratch again. Is there an patch or another way to get me going.
I think this is an old issue. Lots of comments on this thru Google. I am hoping I can get a definative answer from Lenovo's itself!

Well, seeing since your having an Issue with a non Lenovo product. I dont think your going to get an official answer from Lenovo. You may get suggestions however.
