Aomei Deploy Connection Issues
Attempting to mage a dozen HP EliteBook 840 G5 machines. The system worked great on the older Lenovo laptops but I am struggling with getting this to work on the HP machines.
Have configured the laptops to legacy mode and the laptops do run the restore software but the screen is not showing an IP address.
'This computer has already been prepared for the connection from server.' and:

'Local IP: <blank> '
'Server IP: None'
'Connection Status: None'
I've tried creating an image with the HP network drivers. I have disabled the firewall on the server. Both the server/laptop systems are connected to the same switch and are on the same subnet. ON boot, the laptop does show an ip address when loading PE and the server does say that the same IP address has been recognized.
Unfortunately, the laptop doesn't show up on the server side as being on line and I cannot push the image.
What am I missing?

This is a new Elitebook laptop. Is there something new in the security setup?
And, the laptop and server using the same network card drivers? Or, how did you acquire the network drivers to add?
I downloaded the network drivers from HP. There are Lan, WLAN, Bluetooth, and other network drivers. I downloaded all of them and added the .inf files to the custom PXE image.
There is only one network and the laptop and server are plugged into the same switch. I did try other network connections and it didn't make a difference.
I also reset the TPM module with hopes that it would make a difference. no go.
I copied the Aomei image to a usb drive, connected it to the laptop and then booted the laptop on Backupper from a thumb drive. From there, I restored the backup image from the usb drive. I didn't use a custom image or one with the network drivers on it.
