I just started experimenting with BDD 2007 with MDT 2008, great product and the right price - FREE!
Got the whole thing setup, smacked in some drivers, XP with SP2, few apps for testing, under an older test computer with an nForce2 mobo it worked a treat except for a few app tweaks but under the newer Shuttle SN68SG2 systems we use in house there is another issue.
The Win PE 2 that is used is based on Vista so Vista drivers are required for it to build the PE image that boots from the network, fine no probs, however the driver used a two-tier model as discussed here: http://www.deployvista.com/Blog/JohanArwidmark/tabid/78/EntryID/29/language/en-US/Default.aspx
Now this is all well and good however it doesnt work! Looking at other drivers I have added for the nForce2 mobo the two-tier driver did as it was told and a 'Network Bus Enumerator' driver is added as well automatically. With the Vista on the 630a drivers this doesn't happen so when I boot my image it simply doesnt work, although it boots off the network image entering the user details for the share simply says 'Network Not Found', running IPConfig shows only the internal network adapter :(
Lets hope nVidia can sort out there drivers once and for all, since the days of playing with BartPE nForce drivers have never been easy.
UPDATE: It would seem that the Vista driver for this type of board works differently, I removed all the nVidia drivers from BDD and updated the install point and readded the WIM image, booting now works.....on to the SATA driver now :(
