Most recently his focus has been on automation of deployment tasks, creating and sharing PowerShell scripts and other content to help others streamline their deployment processes. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. I am looking for a similar solution to what you have created here for our environment to maintain compliance. Do you know if this tool may be able to function to perform Driver and firmware updates for HP Server class systems or would you recommend me to something else?
Our solution could be extended for server hardware but it would be a manual process as driver packages are not typically bundled up for server hardware. The powershell you have to detect the baseboard:. Would you be able to share some insight on this? Is the BaseBoardProduct the same as running wmic csproduct get name?
With this post we are releasing our first version of a community solution that gives you similar control over BIOS updates on your Intune managed devices as you today have using our Modern BIOS Management solution for When we implement these solutions to our dear customers, we often get this question: Who has access While building in the support, decisions were made to bring package handling for Windows Server in-line with future For example, if you select an x64 and x86 boot image, all drivers must support both architectures.
If you select an x64 boot image, all drivers must support the x64 architecture. Configuration Manager warns you if you add device drivers that aren't network or storage drivers to a boot image. In most cases, they aren't necessary for the boot image. Select Yes to add the drivers to the boot image, or No to go back and modify your driver selection. Configuration Manager warns you if one or more of the selected drivers aren't properly digitally signed. Select Yes to continue, and select No to go back and make changes to your driver selection.
Use the following procedures to modify driver packages and boot images. To add or remove a driver, first locate it in the Drivers node. Then edit the packages or boot images with which the selected driver is associated. Expand Operating Systems , and then select the Drivers node. To add a device driver, select the check box of the driver packages to which you want to add the device drivers. To remove a device driver, clear the check box of the driver packages from which you want to remove the device driver.
If you're adding device drivers that are associated with driver packages, you can optionally create a new package. Before the drivers are available, you must update the driver package on distribution points. You can add to boot images Windows device drivers that have been imported into the catalog.
Use the following guidelines when you add device drivers to a boot image:. Add only storage and network drivers to boot images. Other types of drivers aren't usually required in Windows PE. Drivers that aren't required unnecessarily increase the size of the boot image. Add only device drivers to a boot image for the version of Windows PE. Make sure that you use the correct device driver for the architecture of the boot image.
Don't add an x86 device driver to an x64 boot image. On the Home tab of the ribbon, in the Driver group, select Edit , and then choose Boot images. To add a device driver, select the check box of the boot image to which you want to add the device drivers.
To remove a device driver, clear the check box of the boot image from which you want to remove the device driver. If you don't want to update the distribution points where the boot image is stored, clear the Update distribution points when finished check box. By default, the distribution points are updated when the boot image is updated. Go back to the Driver Details page and clear the drivers that don't match the architecture of the selected boot image.
Select Yes to add the drivers to the boot image or No to go back and modify your driver selection. Select Yes to continue or select No to go back and make changes to your driver selection.
You can do additional actions to manage drivers when you select them in the Drivers node. Removes the driver from the Drivers node and also removes the driver from the associated distribution points. Prohibits the driver from being installed. This action temporarily disables the driver. The task sequence can't install a disabled driver when you deploy an OS. This action only prevents drivers from installing using the Auto Apply Driver task sequence step. Lets Configuration Manager client computers and task sequences install the device driver when you deploy the OS.
Opens the Properties dialog box. Review and change the properties of the driver. For example, change its name and description, enable or disable it, and specify which platforms it can run on. Use task sequences to automate how the OS is deployed. Each step in the task sequence can do a specific action, such as installing a driver.
This could be useful when distributing a laptop to a remote user who you know has a local printer or scanner. Standard users cannot normally install device drivers, but if the driver package is already in the driver store, this is possible. Run the PnPUtil. You saw earlier that a driver package consists of all the information Windows 10 requires to install and trust the driver, including the following. For enhanced security, Windows 10 now uses a single kernel model across all editions of Windows 10 and is encouraging the use, now, of a new universal driver model.
This universal. Drivers are packaged together; each driver package consists of all the software components that are needed for your device to work with Windows. Most drivers are obtained directly by using built-in tools such as Windows Update, but if you are provisioning systems, you might want to deploy the PC with the required drivers already imported and configured.
Windows 10 Manage driver packages When device drivers are created by the original equipment manufacturer OEM , they are deployed with the hardware in a driver package that includes all the files and information required for Windows 10 to communicate with the hardware. The final step is to instruct the task sequence to inject the drivers that were extracted into the driver store using DISM. For this you add another Run Command Line action, with the following command:.
Don't forget to add a condition to the command so it only runs if the folder exist. You don't want the task sequence to error just because you deployed a machine where you didn't need to use any drivers or forgot to add them.

My question is what do I set as my root folder to zip up? Do I start where the list of folders like, audio, chipset, graphics and so forth are at, or do I start at the top of the zip, and zip everything using 7zip? I tried to use Driver automation tool, but even with it set to download only, I watched it download all of the files, extract them, and then delete them right back out … Read more ». Within win10, we have: x64 folder and x86 folder , do I need to modify this?
That script was designed for packages created by the Driver Automation Tool, but will work with custom driver packages too as long as you configure the settings right. It will tell you which drivers that are not ok.
As far as how ConfigMgr deals with the suppression of errors I don't know. Their default inject option is not to use dism, but rather their own executable. Hey Johan, I know you posted this long ago, and I'm not using the zip format, but I am using the same dism command line to install the drivers. They appear to be installing fine but when I look at the status messages, on some systems, I get an error code 3 The system cannot find the path specified.
I thought it might be the log path but I've tried hardcoding it and still see the error. Have you ever seen this before? As long as there are drivers in that folder the dism command should run fine. Make sure you have a condition on the step to only run if the drivers folder is present.
Interesting…I created something similar about 2 years ago for use with MDT. However I use some of the variables available and query a web service to get the correct ZIP file name, and download that from a web server. Johan, we've done something very similar to this in the past but instead of using.
WIM files of the content and put that in a package. We then apply that wim to a location on the c: drive during build time and then DISM the drivers in.
The nice thing about WIMs is if you have multiple models sharing the same drivers, you get the single instance store in that WIM file itself, not on the content library of course. And as we all know, you can also have multiple indexes for those different models. I … Read more ».
