Drivers not found for Windows Deployment Services Image
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create an image for a HP dc7800 which has intel gigabit nic. The image is up on the server, but whenever we try to pull it down we get the following:
The operating system image you selected does not contain the neceesary drivers for your network adapter. Try selecing a different operating system image. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator.
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.
I have downloaded the drivers from both HP and intel but neither have worked as of yet. I have been putting all of the files into the image\i386 as well as \$oem$\$1\Drivers\nic
When I look on the RIS server in the event log, I see the following error:
An error occurred during the parsing of an INF file netclass.inf in the given section Manufacturer.
After a lot of googling i found that there is a hotfix available, but when I try to install it, it says that the service pack of my of my system is newer than I am applying.
Can anyone help me out?

Hmm I didn't know that you had to put it in the i386 folder, but I tried that as well and still get the no drivers error.

This is in the error log:
An error occurred during the parsing of an INF file netclass.inf in the given section Manufacturer.
Is it not reading the INF correctly?

I tried the hotfix, but it says the service pack of my of my system is newer than I am applying.
And I would like to wait off uninstalling WDS as a complete last resort as we use this day in and out and can't afford for anything to go wrong with any of the other images.

I have same problem, have you found iout the solution yet?
ASKER
Nothing yet =/ Are you running the same model computer?
No, I am not on the same model computer.
ASKER
The way that I fixed it was installed WDS Legacy onto a new server. Not much of a fix, but the only way I could get it to work =/
ASKER
I gave you the points because you tried your hardest. Thank you very much for your assistance

OEMPnPDrivers = "C:\Drivers\Nic"
?
And if thats the case, do I have to add the drivers to the actual image or in \$oem$\$1\Drivers\nic
