Last week I created a Windows 7 SP1 image manually, installed almost 200 updates in it (!) and started the MDT 2013 default task sequence "Sysprep and Capture". The first part went fine (Sysprep), but when in Windows PE there was no IP-address set. Oops! Lucky me you can start a command prompt and start "Retry" later. Let's have a look how to enter a static IP-address within Windows PE.
Just start Command Prompt with F8 and type in the following command: "Netsh interface ip show config" > which is showing that my interface is called "Ethernet0"
After that type in the command: "Netsh interface ipv4 set address “Ethernet0” static <IP address> <Subnet mask <Gateway>"
After that it was possible to capture Windows 7 SP1 successfully!
This simply made my day! ;)
