I'm not sure if this the correct place to post this question, so if that's the case I'm sorry!
I am currently working my way through SCCM 2007, as we are required to get all of the companies PCs up to Windows 7 by April 2015. Currently I have driver injection working for OptiPlex 760, 780, and 790. However, whenever I begin my deployment for the Dell Optiplex 7010, the deployment will fail as soon as it is required to install any applications. On further research this is because there were no network drivers installed on the PC whatsoever. But they are clearly in the driver Packages in SCCM.
I have done nothing dissimilar to the 3 other PCs, so I am slightly perplexed as to why the 7010 would be any different when deploying Windows. If anyone has any impression as to why this may have happened, or had the same experience and found a work around or a fix, please could you give me some advise!
Thanks.

The Optiplex 7010 has a new Intel chipset which requires Windows Kernel Mode Driver Framework v 1.11. Your NIC will not be detected properly unless the KMDF is patched during the initial deployment. (before reboot).
I cannot recall if the Win PE 4 image has what you need or if your boot.wim would also need to be patched (You could always use a later version of WinPE to put down a Win7 image.)
This is the best link I've found for the issue: https://deploymentramblings.wordpress.com/2013/10/24/osd-injecting-the-windows-7-kernel-mode-driver-framework-kmdf/
The KMDF patch should go in the Postinstall phase of OSD.
