NIC driver not installed in scripted installation

[stefano colombo_1]

We're trying to configure a scrpted installation for blades .
We're using RDP 6.9 and even with the pristine jobs the installation does not install the NIC drivers and because of that the installation does not complete well .

The blades are Bl465c with NC370i and NC325m NIC
thanks for any help

Hi.. the NC370i card should be in the OEM drivers the RDP uses when installing windows. Does your systemdrive contain a catalog named "$oem$" or something like that after your installation?

Which cards do you use when installing? the NC325m i'm not sure is in the OEM catalog.

Verify that the driver is in \eXpress\Deployment Server\lib\osoem\proliant.zzz\w52\$oem$\$1\drivers\net

The folder $oem$ does exist in the c:\ folder .

We use the nc370i to boot

Ok.. then the job fails to copy the $oem$ files to your harddrive. If you are using the HP standard deployment jobs in RDP 3.80/3.81..

There should be a job namned "Copy proliant files" that copy the files from the above mentioned path to your harddrive.. seems like that doesn't work.

Try an unaltered script from HP and see if it works better.

Winpe has the correct network connections and mounts up the express share?

the files seems to be copied successfully , I can find them on the target machine .
I've downloaded the drivers from the HP support page and added to the RDP server's ..\$1\drivers\net folder .
Now I'm redeploying the script installation , seeing how it works
thanks

[stefano colombo_1]

it didn't work .
The target computer comes up with many unrecognized devices , other than the NICs .

thanks

Ok.. Try swaping out your installation media...

Antoher thing that could be wrong is that RDP don't add the OEM to your unattended on the installing server. after copying the unattended script to the server it should add the oem files to the unattended script...

I've solved the problem by adding the installation of the PSP in the scripted installation process

Thanks
