Deployment Server 6.9 Reasons for WinPE 4.0 UEFI support Drivers WinPE 2.1 does not support UEFI WinPE 3.1 requires “Hybrid” mode (part UEFI, part BIOS), or full BIOS mode (legacy) WinPE 4.0 works with both BIOS and UEFI Drivers WinPE 2.1 requires Windows Vista drivers Many manufacturers no longer support Windows Vista WinPE 4.0 requires Windows 8 drivers More widely supported Deployment Server WinPE 4.0 Training

Deployment Server 6.9 Windows ADK 8.0 Prerequisites Microsoft Windows 2008 or newer OS If the Deployment Server is on Windows 2003, the Windows ADK cannot be installed. It might be possible to use WinPE 4.0 still, but it will need to be built on a different box Microsoft .NET 4.0 (default in Windows 2008 R2 and 2012) Windows 2008 and older Oses will require .NET 4.0 install, reboot required If you don’t have .NET 4.0, Windows ADK will install it and force a reboot mid-install Powershell 3.0 Best Practice = install/upgrade DS and WinPE separate It’s possible to include WinPE in the DS install/upgrade Doing so will greatly increase the installation time Doing so will increase chances of errors installing WinPE Installing separately shows progress statuses, and minimizes errors Deployment Server WinPE 4.0 Training
