I have been using the Windows 8 Driver CABs in my SCCM 2007 Task Sequences to image E6420 laptops, and it has been working fine. So far I have been using a WIM OS image file that is based on Windows 8.0 Enterprise x64.
I just created a new .wim image file of Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64, and when I try to image a E6420 using my task sequence and the new 8.1 WIM, the task sequences fails to install the drivers correctly. I'm wondering if anyone at dell has had a chance to test the Windows 8 driver cabs with the new 8.1 image and SCCM?
It's showing this error:
= Error: 0xc0000135 An error occurred while attempting to start the servicing process for the image located at C:\. For more information, review the log file. The DISM log file can be found at C:\_SMSTaskSequence\PkgMgrTemp\dism.log Dism failedwith return code -1073741515 Failed to add driver to driver store. Code 0xc0000135 Failed to provision driver.

The dism log file shows:
