I recently received a Precision M3800. It doesn't come with a built in NIC. Dell has included a Realtek USB 3.0 NIC dongle. I am attempting to utilize SCCM to image the laptop. Everything proceeds as normal until the Task Sequence gets to the point where it needs to upload the Bitlocker recovery info to AD. The smsts.log file indicates that it can't load the recovery into to AD because the pc isn't on the domain. I searched the unattendedgc and netsetup logs and found that the pc was indeed not able to join the domain. Error message basically stating that the domain controller can't be reached. I hit F8 right before and during the Join Domain step and do an ipconfig /all and find that the laptop isn't getting assigned an ip address during this phase of deployment. The weird thing is that everything up to this point of the Task Sequence went fine and it requires network connection. The problem seems to arise somewhere around the time the hardware drivers for the M3800 get installed or when the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step runs. Has any one else run into problems with this!?!?!?! I've been working on the stupid issue off and on for a week and still no progress.
