Machines and Drivers

[suspected]

Hi Guys,

 

i got some problems. we got 6 different types of machines in our testlab... now i want to use just 1 TS for build all systems with windows 7, but i have driver problems. so my question is can i place all 6 HardDisk drivers for each of that machines in mine BUILD TS ???

 

how can i make that the Driver step in the TS searches himself the right driver for each machine

 

so f.e. i advertise the TS to all 6 machines, now he's installing a SIEMENS FUJITSU machine with that TS, how can i make that the step of the TS (Drivers) see ""ok this is a siemens fujitsu machine, i have to give him this driver"" is that possible ?? otherwise i have to make 6 TS for each machine with the associated/right driver but that isnt so cool :S can you help guys ??

 

 

 

thanks a lot

this is how

 

create a new group for each model and place the appropriate software install commands in each group,

hi niall thanks for your reply. yes it looks good, but i need to user 1 TS for each system which is different, so i have to paste in that 1 TS all these DRIVER Groups of all different systems, and he would choice himself the right one for each system.. so like : now he's building a DELL PC so he see "thats dell i use this step and skip the other driver group steps" ??

 

thanks

no, just change your logic, DO all bits in this group if model = DELL whatever

 

otherwise it will skip that group

hi

 

i made 6 packages with 6 programs and add them to a group and then to my TS with all 6 drivers for each of 6 machines, but he always try to install all of them :S can you give me some commandcodes that he find the right himself please ???

 

now i have 6 packages and programs, added all to 1 group "Drivers" which is in my tasksequence... but how said how to told him that he install the right one ?

 

with SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE model Like "%Computers%" doensts work

[anyweb]

what result do you get when you try this ?

 

Open a command prompt on your client hardware (the machines you intend to be deploying to....) and type

 

wmic

 

 

 

To find out the model name type this

 

CSProduct Get Name

 

 

The result is what we need

[suspected]

hmm it doenst work man

 

so one more time...

 

1. for each driver i have to make a package and a program right ?

2. all driver packages i have to add to 1 group DRIVERS right ?

3. the group i have to add to my TS by step drivers right ?

4. on the client write wmic in cmd so i get name like ESPRIMO 7950 (ok that i already know)

5. in this step i have to write : with SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE model Like "%Computers%" doensts work

 

but how can i to do them to search himself out which driver he needs ? have i to name the drivers like the Hardware model ? and which commandline ? the one with select doesnt work... task sequence broke up with 0x0000.. error

Hello jamitupya

 

What does to update: HAL type do?

 

We ran into a problem, created a windows 7 image from a computer with Intel Core 2 duo, and when deploying it to a computer with Intel Core I5 the computer fails to start up.

Just gets a message like "problem starting the operating system, might be because of hardware changes.."

 

And do we really need to create driver packages? Is it not enough to Import them into SCCM, and in the task sequence use the "Apply device drivers" step?

 

Thanks for the response

Problem solved on the CoreI5, updated SATA and Network card drivers on the X86 PE Boot image
