I am getting the following error, when the pc reboots, during any of the following: applying pre-application updates, installing applications, applying post-application updates on our Lenovo M73 Windows 7 desktop computers. It doesn't happen on the Dell OptiPlex desktops or Lenovo/Dell Laptops.
The error is "A connection to the deployment share (\\server.xxx.local\DeploymentShare$) could not be made. DHCP Lease was not obtained for any Networking device! Possible Cause: Check physical connection.
If I click on retry the task sequence carries on as normal but the error can happen again when the pc reboots next. I have tried changing the server name for the IP address and also just used the server name. The pc is on the network correctly as I can get the IP address via IPConfig and it shows that it has a current lease as well. If I look in device manager the network card is installed correctly and there are no devices not found.
Here is the end of the BDD log:

Any advice would be appreciated as we are going to have a large quantity of these to roll out.
Many Thanks
