Problem
DeployAnywhere causing errors with image deployment
Error
Retargeting has been cancelled because some critical drivers are missing
Environment
Deployment Solution 7.1
Cause
A critical driver, i.e. either a mass storage or network card driver, required by the installation is not contained in the DeployAnywhere database
Solution
To identify the missing driver(s):
- From WinPE, map a drive to the deployment share of the relevant task server e.g. "net use W: \\%Taskserver%\Deployment /user:[domain\username] password"
- Run the command "W:\Task Handler\ghost\DeployAnywhere.exe" /eval /target=c:\Windows /ddb="W:\Task Handler\DriversDB" (N.B. earlier versions than DS7.1 replace DeployAnywhere.exe with GhDplyAw32.exe)
- Check the file .\Task Handler\ghost\DeployAnywhere.txt has the Data Modified attribute updated to the current date/time
- Identify missing drivers from the DeployAnywhere.txt file
- If further information is required to identify the missing drivers, run msinfo32 to create a .nfo file e.g. "msinfo32 /nfo C:\TEMP\SYSSUM.NFO /categories +all"
- Identify the correct driver by ensuring its .inf file contains matching PNP_Device_ID to that in the DeployAnywhere.txt file
- Import the driver into DeployAnywhere (ref: HOWTO10872)
- If the task is run from a Site Server, ensure the Site Server has received the replicated driver by comparing .\Deployment\Task Handler\DriversDB\[new driver folder] for both NS and Site Server
