Hello,

 

I am hoping someone can help me with an issue I’m having using MDT 2008 within a VMWare environment. I’ve only just started looking MDT and have it installed up and running on a PC but now I’m trying to setup it up one a laptop running VMWare but I have an issue at the first stage which is driving me mad. My client can see the server and pull down the basic build files but it does not present me with an authentication windows so I can access the images, not sure if this is a driver or something I have missed but all the machines seem to be talking to each other and the server to responding the client requests.

Do you have the network driver for the VM machine in MDT? To get my MDT builds to work under VM ESX I changed the network card model to an E1000 (and to do this I had to tell ESX that I was going to build a 64 OS, even though I wasn't, add the E1000 card and then change the "Guest Operating System" back to XP).

Yes I’ve installed the VM Nic drivers into MDT already and also tried updating the .vmx with the following line Ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000” but it’s made no difference. It starts to pull down the base image which has also been updated and on the screen it seems to load wpeinit, then instead of showing the authentication windows it just stops at the command line showing x:\windows\system
