Hi,
We have hit an issue that it seems many other people are having, i cannot install NIC drivers for the Intel i217-LM Network Card. My particular issue is on the HP 800 G1 USDT (one revision of it).
(this issue is also present on multiple Dell models)
I have downloaded the last 9 driver revisions directly from intel and attempted to apply using both the "Auto Apply Drivers" and "Install Driver Package" steps (directed at model WMI query).
Here are some of the many driver versions i have attempted to apply:
The Task Sequence will fail 90% of the time when attempting to bind to the domain , the other 10% will fail at the very next step, all of course post "Setup Windows and ConfigMGR". I have no issues with this NIC from within WINPE, it fails over shortly after rebooting into windows.
If i run a continuous ipconfig/all i can see the NIC stable and fine and then it will disappear on next reboot (first reboot into windows). On next reboot my TS has failed and usually i will see "Network Cable Unplugged" - this will only go away when i look into devicemanager and disable/enable the NIC.
You can also see in device manager the NIC driver that ALWAYS shows, 12.13.17.7 this is what i always see even if i attempt to install different versions.
The below screenshot is from device manager, note the confusing version number and dates?
I cant see how 12.15.22.3 was from 2015 whereas 12.13.17.7 is listed as 2016
My last test yesterday was to attempt to inject the latest driver directly into my Windows10 Wim file, which also did not work.
The file i injected:
