Surface Pro 4 - OSD via SCCM 2012 - WinPE not loading after 'Preparing network connection' due to no ip address

Hi there

Testing SCCM 2012 OSD against a Surface Pro 4, not enjoying it too much.

The tablet does successfully pxe boot, however immediately after seeing the 'Preparing network connections' popup there is a restart.

Using a command prompt to block the restart, I can see the network is not available in time i.e. in the smsts.log there is this line: "Surface Pro ethernet adapter ip address is 0.0.0.0".

Within perhaps 10 seconds after seeing the 'Preparing network connections' popup disappear, the device gets an ip address.

I am testing using both the official Microsoft Surface Pro ethernet adapter and Surface Pro dock.

These are the official Microsoft devices - and plainly these are the problem, namely that connecting an ethernet cable to a Surface Pro via one of these devices is not the same as connecting an ethernet cable directly to a pc (obviously).

I tried a pre-start command, namely a vbs script with a 20 second pause, this made no difference.

I have read that SCCM OSD is possible with Surface Pro 4's, so presumably something can be done to get past this.

Hoping someone can advise.

Best regards

John
