Hi,

I using SCCM 2012 R2 and have a task sequence that captures the user state, reinstalls Windows 8.1 and then restores the user state. It works fine on our Lenovo desktops.

We have HP 640 G1 and G2 laptops that fail when the task sequence boots to PE. If I open a command prompt within PE and run an IPConfig, I see that the NIC isn't operational. If I then run "wpeutil initializenetwork" it sits for a minute before showing a success message. Running IPconfig then shows an IP address.

Am I correct in thinking that because the wpeutil line gives me an IP address, it isn't a missing driver?

Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks in advance.
