I confirmed that the .exe's are not supported in winpe.  Even if they were, it would be a bit of a conflict, because when  you start the os deployment process using the lifecycle controller, the lifecycle controller surfaces your required drivers, so the drivers are held in use during the WinPE Phase. . .  As for how we do it for firmware, we use Repository Manager to create "Lightweight Deployment Scripts" for each model - and run those during the post-os installation phase (still in the task seuqence, but just after we've applied the OS, and are in Windows...). I've heard of some that use SUU (Server Update Utility) to update firmware and drivers... There will be an update in the future for LifeCycle Controller integration to handle firmware updates - stay tuned! (btw - as far as I know, you will *always* need to download drivers first though :( )   hope that helps a little, Greg        
Hi, I want to update the Dell LifeCycle Controller with the latest OS Driver Pack before installing the OS via Microsoft ConfigMgr 2007. For example, here is the Dell PowerEdge R710 OS Driver Pack. We are looking to use the Dell Server Deployment Pack (DSDP) and Dell LifeCycle Controller Integration (DLCI). Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
How can I automate OS Driver Pack installation?
