OSD: Apply Driver Package from a script

[blanalex]

In our organization we decided to go with the "control freak" driver management model. However that means we have maintain the computer model list for each task sequence.

 

If we were able to create a single script with all our computer models there, calling Apply Driver Package with the right package, it would be a lot easier. All we would have to do is call this script from all our task sequences. After that, all we would have to maintain is this single script.

 

 

Is it possible (and how?) to call the Apply Driver Package action from a custom .vbs script?

may you do a wmi query for the machine model and pass this as argument to your custom.vbs that calls the driver package to install the drivers?

[blanalex]

Well, I'm not sure I see the point of doing the WMI query outside the script?

 

I was thinking something along those lines: (don't mind the language, I've never worked with vbs, this is a general algorithm)

model=wmi.query("SELECT version FROM Win32_ComputerSystemProduct")

 

if (model like "ThinkPad T510") then

mdt.ApplyDriverPackage("T510")

elseif (model like "ThinkPad T520") then

mdt.ApplyDriverPackage("T520")

endif
