Imaging a Skylake system with SCCM 2012

This article provides guidance on applying a Windows image to you Dell system with the Intel Skylake chipset using the Dell Client Integration Pack version 4.1.

SLN301185_en_US__1icon NOTE: This article is for users with a good working knowledge of SCCM 2012 for imaging Windows.

Imaging steps

Download the Dell Client Integration Pack SLN301185_en_US__2iC_External_Link_BD_v1.

SLN301185_en_US__1icon NOTE: Make sure that the WinPE CAB version actually matches the boot image; if it is PE 5.0, use the WinPE 5.0 CAB, etc. Windows 10 PE is recommended for Intel Skylake chipset systems.
 
SLN301185_en_US__1icon NOTE: If using Server 2008, a Microsoft Hotfix: KB3025419 - Can't import drivers into System Center Configuration Manager SLN301185_en_US__2iC_External_Link_BD_v1 must be installed prior to proceeding:
  1. Download: Windows 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) 1511 SLN301185_en_US__2iC_External_Link_BD_v1 and choose the Install Path for installation: (See Figure 1.)

    SLN301185_en_US__7SCCM-ADK1511-1
    Figure 1. - Set the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit install path
     
  2. Select Deployment Tools and Windows PE from the list of features to install: (See Figure 2.)

    Figure 2. - Selecting the feature you want to install.

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\en-us
  3. Copy the winpe.wim to a temp directory such as c:\dc\temp\pe10
  4. Add a new boot image to SCCM 2012: (See Figure 3.)

    SLN301185_en_US__1icon NOTE: The new button under Boot Images with DCIP installed:

    SLN301185_en_US__11SCCM-2012-Skylake-2

  5. Add the WinPE 10 CAB file A01 (or later) drivers using the DCIP WINPE Driver Import Wizard: (See Figure 4.)

    SLN301185_en_US__12SCCM-2012-Skylake-3
    Figure 4. - Adding the WinPE 10 CAB file A01
     
  6. Select the new boot image to have the Windows 10 PE CAB integrated: (See Figure 5.)

    SLN301185_en_US__13SCCM-2012-Skylake-4
    Figure 5. - Selecting the new boot image to have the Windows 10 PE CAB integrated:

    If not using DCIP, import the Windows 10 PE CAB drivers to a folder and category called W10PEx64-A01 (or whatever version of CAB file was imported): (See Figure 6.)

    SLN301185_en_US__14SCCM-2012-Skylake-11
    Figure 6. - Importing the Windows 10 PE CAB drivres
     

    Make sure that the Intel Rapid Storage drivers are 14.5.2.x or later and that the Intel Ethernet driver is 12.13.x or later.

    Select all of the drivers in the PE10x64 folder and then right click, choose Edit Boot Images:(See Figure 7.)

    SLN301185_en_US__21SCCM-2012-Skylake-8
    Figure 11. - Adding the driver package to the Task Sequence
     
  2. Use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) calls to send the correct CAB file to the correct system: (See Figure 12.)

Optional Steps that may be required: Injecting the NVMe fix to the Windows 7 image:

Update to add native driver support in NVM Express in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SLN301185_en_US__2iC_External_Link_BD_v1

Extract KB2990941 to C:\dcshare\NVMEw7fix

"0x0000007E" Stop error after you install hotfix 2990941 in Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1  SLN301185_en_US__2iC_External_Link_BD_v1

Extract KB3087873 to c:\dcshare\NVMEw7fix2

  1. Go to the Windows 7 image in SCCM.
  2. Go to Properties.
  3. Select Data Source and make note of the location of the image WIM file. (See Figure 13.)

    SLN301185_en_US__25SCCM-2012-Skylake-10
    Figure 13. - Select Data Source and make note of the location of the image WIM file
     
  4. Mount the Windows 7 image and integrate the NVMe fixes:
    • DISM /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\dcshare\ExpressImages\W7x64SP1CAPv2\W7x64SP1CAP.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\dcshare\temp
    • DISM /image:c:\dcshare\temp /add-package /packagepath:c:\dcshare\nvmew7fix
    • DISM /image:c:\dcshare\temp /add-package /packagepath:c:\dcshare\nvmew7fix2
    • DISM /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\dcshare\temp /commit
  5. Go to Images tab under the Windows 7 image.
  6. Click Reload.
  7. Update the Distribution Point for the image.

If you are having trouble imaging systems using USB-C adapters such as the Ethernet dongle or WD15 dock, it is suggested that the RealTek 10.9 driver be added to the boot image for proper functionality of the USB-C hardware:
RealTek 10.9 for Windows 10 PE SLN301185_en_US__2iC_External_Link_BD_v1 should be added to the boot image (versions 10.1, 10.5, and 10.6 should be removed)
