Currently, you cannot deploy the Windows Server 2012 operating system on Dell PowerEdge servers using Dell Server Deployment Pack 3.0 installed on SCCM 2012 SP1 and Windows 2008 R2 with ADK 8.0 .This is because the driver injection on Microsoft Configuration Manager depends on DISM.exe, and which has a limitation as mentioned in Microsoft TechNet article available at
Hence WinPE 4.0 drivers signed for Windows Server 2012 Operating System will not be injected if host Operating System is Windows Server 2008 R2. You will see error while updating the distributions point after creation of boot image with DSDP. For more information on boot image creation with DSDP refer DSDP user guide.
This limitation is applicable to SCCM 2012 R2 installed on any Windows server version released before Windows 2012 R2.
