PXE boot driver for Dell Latitude E5570

Thread needs solution

Anyone know if there is an update available for Snap Deploy 5 that would have the new Dell Latitude E5570 NIC driver?  It's an Intel I219-LM.  Or if there is a way to add this driver to Acronis manually?

Thanks!

Sticky: Build 1666 can be found here!

FYI, upgrading over the top does not always start the PXE service so a reboot may help.  As I just posted in another thread "iN a few cases, people have needed to remove the PXE component completley, reboot, reinstall the PXE component and reboot again and then all is well"  

Also for your own knowledge if you do a lot of deployments...  if you do find an system where drivers are a problem for the NIC, we keep some USB 3.0 to 10/100/1000 ethernet adapters on hand - they come in really handy for those types of situations, and/or for other tablets (like Surface pro's), where you may not have a physical NIC or a docking station.  Another item we use in the shop are some of the generic "Pluggable" (it's a brand and they work well) USB 3.0 docking stations which also work well for this, but are closer to $100.  Really work nicely though for deployment and they're decent docking stations as well. 

And one other option (although 1666 should do the trick), is to build a winpe.wim with the rescue media builder.  If you build it with Windows 10 ADK (currently SD only supports 1511 - don't donwload the 1607 as it's not recognized by Snap Deploy yet) then it will have the necessary drivers as well.  You can upload a .wim to the delpoyment server and boot to that instead of the default media from PXE.  The downside is that the WinPE rescue media and/or the boot.wim uploaded to the PXE server doesn't offer "stand-a-lone" deployment, but you can still do online deployments and take images either online or offline with it.

Thanks Bobbo_3C0X1 - I am going to try Build 1666 - but it just so happens i have a "pluggable" docking station available!  I'm going to try that out if the update doesn't help.

Thanks again!

Those pluggable docks work well too! At least the dual monitor USB 3.0 version does. We ended up getting a bunch of them for other tablets. The surface pro 4 dock is too expensive. I don't mind charging with the ac adapter and saving some $.
