FBReseal... missing Network Adapters

[Guest]

I have an image I am trying to clone to multiple devices. I built my image, booted it through FBA and then installed some applications, some drivers, and modified some settings. Then I do fbreseal -keepall. When this image comes up on another device, there are no network adapters installed. In fact the Network Connections folder is empty, the wizards aren't even there.
Now, one of the adpaters is set for a static IP which I've read is not allowed to in the target designer. Will this mess up the FBA and reseal process at all? What else would cause this

There are 2 adapters in this device, one of which is for an internal network, this is why it requires a static IP. The other is set for DHCP. Thanks in advance for any help

I can help you very little with this particular problem, but...

Try using nets.exe after you reseal and reboot device once more.

On your new device network adapters will have different MAC numbers and this
can trigger PnP to install them again. (I hope that you have User PnP
componenent).

After reseal and reboot you should be able to configure your device in a way
you described.
If not use Device Manager to see if your net adapters are installed
successfully.

Also check setupapi.log (delete it before reseal).

Slobodan

Thanks... at least I havea direction, I'll let you know the outcome in case similar things happen to others. BTW, you said use nets.exe, did you mean netsh.exe? I can't seem to find a nets.exe. Thanks again
Bill
