Environment:
LANDESK Management Suite 9.6, and may apply to earlier versions.
Error message:
IP address 127.0.0.1
Waiting for IP address..................
Timed out before acquiring an IP address.
The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.
Failed to get localhost IP address or resolve core server name. Please check your network and try again.
Cause:
This issue can be caused by some versions of the corresponding DELL NIC driver.
Solution:
Per the information from DELL's support website, an updated driver (version 19.5.0.0, A11) has specifically "fixed issue that system can not get IP under some WinPE environment".
To fix the issue, the driver needs to be injected into the network boot image and the PXE rep needs to be redeployed.
