We recently received a newer Dell Latitude E5540 model laptop, and I need to save an out of box image before I update and personalize the image for deployment.
The relevant information:
When using the WinPE boot stick(s) that we've created, Ghost runs, but does not connect to the session when I enter the Session ID. I have also tried specifying the Server IP Address, but it still will not connect. The device is pulling the generic loopback address 127.0.0.1, which I understand is a problem with the loaded NIC drivers. I loaded the Vista32 drivers for the NIC and SATA, but even with the newly created boot stick I pull the same IP Address.
If I ping any outside IP Address, then I receive the following error:
"PING: transmit failed, error code 1231"
I've researched this error and tried to apply the recommended fixes, but I still run into the same issue. I'd be eternally grateful for some professional guidance. Thank you in advance.
