D520 Fails to start Deployment Client
I have a few D520s that I can't get to startup the Deployment Client. I load up my KBE, it gets to the point where it should be starting the client and letting me get access to the scripted installations etc, but instead this tall, blank, rectangular window pops up and the Y:\kta\startup.bat script is at "mshta Y:\hta\rpc_upload_inventory.hta" hanging. The cursor idling.
Whats the deal with this empty window? What could be causing this issue?

Answer Summary:
Found that the systems that worked had between 2 and 4GB of memory. Assuming 512 MB just isn't going to cut it. Found that the systems had enough memory to at least start the USB Flash Drive KImage process. The UFD KImage process doesn't start up the Deployment Client, and so I am guess that is why this method should work where the normal online Deployment Client method failed.

I created a seperate boot enviroment just for older models. Unfortunately we hold on to very old machines. Just load the drivers needed for PXE for just that model in kbe_windows_x86 and recache. Create a new boot enviroment as you normally would. This worked for me on our GX240s.

512 is the min required.
Problem is if your using integrated video, it takes some of the ram.
That'll drop you below the 512...

The three with the issue were part of a group of 10.
The other 7 in the group were able to start the deployment client and run a scripted installation.
I will check into any differences in the integrated video, but I suspect there won't be.
