Win7 Boot Failure with Intel NIC
2016/06/25 22:53
If clients are using Intel NIC, they cannot boot win7x64 or win7x32. That is mainly because the NICs provided by Intel producers cannot be used for diskless booting. However, the NIC drive coming with Windows7 can be. So here is the solution:
1) While installing Windows7 OS, please do not install Intel NIC drive. Instead, you should let the Win7 OS distinguish Intel NIC automatically and install the NIC drive that comes with the Win7 operating system. But some user reports Intel NIC Driver v18.2 can support Intel NIC 82579v diskless booting.
2) You can install the latest CCBoot client software, for it has integrated the Intel NIC drivers.
Note: If you need to install CCBoot client software to the latest version, please enable "Super Client" for this client. For details please refer to "Update Image by Super Client".
