![]() ![]() You really don’t need a three-day lease for a system that isn’t going to be on that network for more than an hour or so. Various issues with your DHCP server can also cause the error, “DHCP Lease was not obtained for any Networking device! Possible Cause: Check physical connection.” If you’re using a dedicated network for OSD of new machines, check that your lease duration is set fairly low. In my case, 5000 (5 seconds) fixed it every time and wasn’t enough of a delay to slow me down considerably. Feel free to set that number lower or higher depending on your experience. I used 5000 (5 seconds), but your mileage may vary depending on your network and computer hardware. Find “Function ValidateDeployRootWithRecovery” in the file and add “wscript.sleep 5000” to the file, as shown in this screenshot:Įdit f to add wscript.sleep 5000. To fix this, you can make a simple edit to the f file in the Scripts folder of your deployment share. This introduced a delay that, coupled with the new/fast hardware, caused problems for OSD. In this case, the DHCP server wasn’t on the same broadcast domain and was using an IP DHCP helper address so the systems on the network could get IP addresses. When I restarted the OS deploy and watched the system, it was receiving an IP address-just not fast enough.Īs it turns out, the culprit was a combination of fast hardware and network setup. When I checked on this system, it had an IP address from the DHCP server. Normally, I leave systems unattended when they are deploying because there’s no reason for me to sit and watch them. I really prefer the Success screens that aren’t yellow.ĭeployment Summary Success – DHCP Lease was not obtained for any Networking device! ![]() Letting the deploy finish netted a nice yellow warning screen. When the system booted into Windows for the first time, I received the error, “DHCP Lease was not obtained for any Networking device! Possible Cause: Check physical connection.”ĭHCP Lease was not obtained for any Networking device! Possible Cause: Check physical connection. If you’re deploying an OS to very new hardware running fast SSD drives, you could run into a problem I had recently. ![]() Windows PE 5.0 may not require network drivers for a particular network chipset, but because Windows 7 doesn’t have the hardware drivers included, you’ll receive the “The following networking device did not have a driver installed” error right after Windows boots and realizes it doesn’t have the right driver installed. If you deploy Windows 7 with MDT 2013, the computer boots into Windows PE 5.0, lays down the WIM file, injects drivers, and then reboots into Windows 7. Right drivers, wrong OS ^Īre you still deploying Windows 7? Are you using MDT 2013? If so, don’t forget that MDT 2013 uses Windows PE 5.0, which uses the same drivers as Windows 8.1. Many times, the hardware manufacturer will have newer drivers than your OEM has. When it doesn’t, I’ll usually go to the network card manufacturer’s web site or do a search on the hardware ID to track down a current driver. That tends to resolve it 90% of the time. When in doubt, I always start with the OEM’s web site to see that I have the latest driver they’re supporting. The new network chipset driver is sometimes backward compatible with older revisions, and sometimes it isn’t. Worse yet, some OEMs like to use the new chipset, especially in their non-Enterprise business/small business brands. Intel, Broadcom, and all the other network card manufacturers are really bad about making minor revisions to their hardware that require an updated version of the driver. The following networking device did not have a driver installed. If your MDT server doesn’t have the right drivers for a NIC, you may see, “The following networking device did not have a driver installed,” followed by a hardware ID. This one may sound totally obvious, but I’ve wanted to beat my head against the desk a few times when dealing with getting the right drivers for a system. ![]()
