    I believe it's in the build directory of the winpe maker you downloaded, or output can't remember what it's called.

    @theopenem_admin I found the ISO and used Rufus to load it to a USB drive. I get through all the prompts until I hit this snag.

    I don't see any of my images available to me. Ugh.

    The images built with the LIE and WIE are not interchangeable. You need to pull that image using the WIE. Just deploy that image to a machine using the LIE, immediately shut it down after the image deploys before it boots to windows, then upload it from the WIE.

    @theopenem_admin The plot thickens.... I was able to get a hold of a usb nic. I took a screenshot.

    Needless to say it is working normally. My next question is what do I do? This is a brand new Dell Optiplex. It has a standard Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller nic in it. That is pretty generic and usually the same thing in our older machines. Ideas?

    It must be a newer realtek device with a different chipset. A newer kernel is the only thing that may help. I'll try and build a new one soon, till then you'll need to use the usb nic.

    @theopenem_admin That will have to work for now. We are about to purchase several hundred of these for our school system. This one machine I have was the one we are testing with to see if there are any problems before we go further. Let me know as soon as you get something I can test. Thanks.

    @theopenem_admin I got the image to take but now on a restart it can't find a bootable device. Do I need to undo anything in the bios related to the AHCI? Thanks

    The new kernel is ready if you want to try it.

    • Go to admin settings->Kernels
    • Select download on the 5.11.10 kernel
    • Rebuild your client iso with the new 5.11.10 kernel selected from the dropdown. It won't be selected by default.

    @theopenem_admin I downloaded the new kernel created my usb bootable drive. I tried using the built in nic card and the speed was still painfully slow. I tried the usb nic and got the image to take. I restarted the machine and I now get a new error.

    Its not going to boot if Windows was installed with Raid and now it's set to AHCI. Windows needs to be installed while the hd is set to AHCI. There isn't anything else I can do for nic. It may be better to use the WIE for this model.

    @theopenem_admin my image was created from a vm. I don't believe a raid was involved. So I can't use TheOpenEm on any new Dell Optiplex machines I purchase for our school system?

    Was your vm legacy or efi? In your image profile, change the partition type to standard.

    @theopenem_admin I have changed it to standard now. I do see an additional option while using the new kernel. Which option should I select here?

    It looks like you cloned the image profile. You need to select the one that you changed to standard.

    @theopenem_admin Changing it to standard did not change anything. 😞 I did go in and delete the cloned image profile.

    That's correct. Is this the newest log? Your partition_method says dynamic instead of standard.

    partition_method=dynamic
