Windows Deployment Services and Lenovo Computers

hi all, first post here appologies in advance mistakes.

my issue running server 2008 r2 works great. have been running windows deployment services long , there has been hicup cannot wrap head around.

i have 2 lenovo laptops (1x thinkpad edge 14 & 1x thinkpad edge e420) seem having issues driver store wds. connect, , pull down image , install no dramas, issue is, when comes part search driver store drivers, miss display driver. 100% there not it.

 

both laptops have intel hd graphics different generations , can use same driver not go. lenovo has been no here am. can suggest ideas why not work?

oh , have other lenovo laptops , desktops , grab drivers fine, these 2 models.

 

thanks in advance

matt

can verify device id's of display adapters match device id's listed in drivers imported?

i know it's maybe stupid , simple question, @ least it'll tell whether drivers applicable video adapters.

if checks out, reading log files might pinpoint right direction.

may i ask how adding drivers deployments? these drivers included in image itself, or located in wds driver store dynamically detect drivers use (or use filters/rules use specific drivers, or not). or perphaps making use of unattended file driverpath ?

personally stepped away using wds, due several limitations. added mdt picture handle driver issues , add more flexibility deployments.

 

kind regards,

stephan schwarz
