E6400 OSD with drivers

[Koteswara Rao]

Hi we have a Dell E6400 model laptops in our organisation. I am trying to install Drivers while deploying OS from SCCM, it is failing. Only OS is installing and drivers also copying from the package to C-Drive. But drivers are not installing. I am doing a mistake. Where it is doing i can't understood. Can any one help?

We need more information, like what does you Task Sequence looks like, what drivers are you using, what kind of packages are you using, what information is there in the logging, etc....

Have you tried:

 

1. Making a driver package in SCCM that only contains the drivers for the E6420

2. Adding an Apply Driver item to your Task Sequence (list it before any other driver items) that is limited to driver matching from only the E6420 driver package

3. Using a WMI query for that TS item in order to only have it run for that model

select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Model like "%E6420%"

I created a TS for common use to all models with OS (XP). Then i created a Driver package with all drivers for Dell E6400 laptop. I added Apply drivers package in the TS and added a WMI query also for E6400. OS is installing and drivers are copying to the C-drive, but not installing.

I tried as you mentioned above. Only drivers are copying to C-Drive but not installing. Is there any command line needed for the TS?

In the TS driver item, did you check the box to do unattended installation of unsigned drivers? Also, just to double-check... Are you sure you added the drivers needed for WinXP on an E6420? No command is needed because the process relies on hardware device IDs. So you're just sort of telling it which pool of drivers the OS should look into...
