Deployment Solution

Trying to import Win8 drivers for x64 preboot and getting this message.

"Driver could not be added to preboot OS."

It is the Intel I217V/LM Lan Driver for Windows 8 (64-bit)  driver

 

 

 

Deleting frustrated rant! :-)

 

Have you tried downloading this direcly from Intel?

yes

JannasTo,

I tried this on DS 6.9 SP6 on a 2008R2 Server.

I downloaded the driver pack named PROWinx64.exe from here:  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21642

I extracted the files to a temp folder from PROWinx64.exe, using WinZip.

I imported this file:  ...\PROWinx64\PRO1000\Winx64\NDIS62\e1d62x64.inf

The import completed successfully.

The following folder was added to the custom drivers folder:

...\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\Bootwiz\platforms\Winpe4\x64\Drivers\CUSTOM\Drivers\e1d62x64

 

HTH

JannasTo,

I encounter an error too when I upload 64bit driver on driver management.. but the thing is it copies the driver file on \\smp\NSCap\bin\Deployment\BDC\bootwiz\Platforms\WinPE\x64\Drivers\CUSTOM\Drivers.. Maybe it is just an UI issue? When using Bootwiz I get "boot disk creator could not add the driver b57nd60a".

What is the status of your case?

 

Looks like this is an issue with hf5. Support gave me a file from previous hotfix and it worked. Apparently its resolved in hf6 or sp1. (And hf4 oddly)

Awww I have HF5 :(

Glad to know the issue you are encountering is already fixed.
