Drivers to PEimage

Hi,

 

I think you are missing scsi driver from your WinPE image.

You should found needed drivers from your VMware program files.

 

Examble \program files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\scsi\2008-32

 

Install those to your PXE (WinPE image)

I get this same issue now

I get this same issue now with windows 7, it just give the same error as above then closes, any idea what i could be missing, ive added all the vmware drivers to the .wim and im sure i have the correct network card drivers too.

is there any place i can look for additional info to help troubleshoot errors with the dagent this?

with a fresh deploy into a VM do i need to create a task to format the disk first?, with WDS server, the windows would format the disk before u can choose an image to deploy, so maybe this is why i cant drop the image to the vm.

 

thanks.
