Deploying smart card drivers with SCCM 2012

[blaf]

Hi there,

 

I am trying to deploy smart card driver ( Gemalto.MiniDriver.IDPrime ) by using SCCM 2012.

 

The idea is to predeploy driver before smart card is used to finish rest of the configuration ( when smart card is plugged into PC driver should be alredy installed, card will be recognized to proceed with configuration of smart card login on that PC).

 

I've created driver package, used 1 PC as test collection and included following command inside driver package :

 

RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 \\<networkpath> \Gemalto.MiniDriver.IDPrime.inf

 

This command was tested in command prompt successfully, but when I try to deploy this package nothing happens.

 

I used this command as per instructions from Microsoft website:

 

InstallHinfSection is an entry-point function exported by Setupapi.dll that you can use to execute a section of an .inf file. InstallHinfSection can be invoked by calling the Rundll32.exe utility as described in the Remarks section.

The prototype for the InstallHinfSection function follows the form of all entry-point functions used with Rundll32.exe.

 

Default path :

RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 path-to-inf\infname.inf

I am still new to SCCM, and I was hoping that I can find answer at this forum. Sorry if I am missing something obvious.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

I like to use PNPUtil which basically does the same, preloads the driver cache with the driver and imports the .inf file you select.
