I have also added notes on the individual tabs as previously people had tried specifying long UNC paths for the repositories and not the base share directory I had advised to use, causing issues with long UNC path names.
Model listings are obtained from XML feeds from the three vendors. Note : Be careful when using the clean up options, as they will impact on your task sequences.
If you are using the tool for SCCM, the script will use the current machine name as the SCCM site server name, if this is run on a different machine delete this and type in your site server name.

Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. In my task sequence there is a step to read the computer model which then corresponds to the folder structure below Out-of-Box Drivers. For MDT however, renaming the packages would resolve the issue.
Looks great, with regards to the HP Driver packages does the modern driver management method eliminate the need to install the drivers that only come in setup. I am going to work on bringing in automatic installation of these though in the MDM solution we have. Can some vendor sites, like Lenovo just be offline? Can you confirm which model and OS you selected along with the server version on which you are running the tool?. Hello Maurice, Lenovo Drivers download seems to not work in the newest version 6.
BIOS download works Any idea how to fix it? This occurs when. Net Framework object components for Internet Explorer are not installed. The driver automation tools is just fantastic : thanks a lot for creating and keeping it up-to-date :.
Depending on the product life cycle it is up to the manufacturer to guage support in their XML feed. However you can always create a custom package using the tool for consistency with support in our modern driver management solution. Any chance of dropping Viglen in there?
They have the absolute simplest download site, easy win! In their case creating custom driver packages would be an option. Error Message: You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression. Please advice. I have seen similar things happen with Lenovo as well. It will show something on the actual product website but the tool will not see it. Pretty sure its Lenovo. We mainly deploy to lenovo server hardware and this seems like a great tool to use. Under the Dell model selection, is the list populating correctly?
I see that the Latitude E is missing in this release. Right after line in DriverAutomationTool. It should make more sense and this is something that others have also requested. I should hopefully have the update out within the next two weeks. Sounds great, thanks so much for your ongoing contribution in this space and allowing the community to use these great tools.
I can see where this would be useful installing drivers on machines in the field, but is there any advantage to using this method to install drivers during OSD? Essentially the underlying process of injecting the drivers is very similar in both methods. Where we differentiate from using driver packages is for several reasons, that are not really to do with OSD as such, but avoid adding the driver information to the SQL DB, the lengthy import process, avoiding the knock on performance impact on the console associated with doing so, and avoiding the total chaos method if people selecting to apply compatible drivers which could be from multiple models.
During the detection process used by the Invoke-CMApplyDriverPackage script, only the latest driver package for that model is matched every time, so the results are always going to be consistent with how the manufacturer has delivered the drivers for that model.
Thanks for the explanation. You make some interesting points. Combine that with the fact that the same script and packages can be used both to install drivers during OSD and to update drivers on existing systems already deployed in the field definitely makes it interesting. I imagine it would even be possible to build a single small task sequence which calls this script and can be either deployed directly to computer collections to update drivers, or called from within an OSD task sequence to install the drivers during imaging.
Or would it be better to build the logic into the TS and call the script with the appropriate parameter for each case? The reason we added in the switches was for future features to be added and to allow for greater control during the TS, although I will take your points onboard.
Import-Module : The drive root is not valid. Error: this command cannot be run from the current drive. To run this command you must first connect to a configuration manager drive. Tested with or without proxy and several models.
Downloading the file which is retrieved by your tool via browser works fine. Any ideas? I am having a problem where the tool is saying it completes successfully but the only file is the flashw Did I miss something? Great Tool Maurice! I finally got it to work, and it solved all my Lenovo issues! Say, when downloading those EXEs i have to click on the Okay button to make sure it expands the files, then your script continues marvelously.
Have you been able to address that need? It would allow me to walk away while the process carries on if so. This only happens with those Lenovo EXEs. Thanks in advanced. Thanks :D. A fix is coming along for the next build.
Great tool. If you are looking to use these downloads through our MDM process, the only alternative is to create a custom driver package based on extracted drivers. Hi Maurice, I expected as much, but thanks for responding. I have an additional question about maintaining the versions of drivers. Am i correct in believing the cab file files the vendors provide are not updated as frequently as the individual drivers. If this is the case would you recommend creating a custom package with the latest individual drivers.
It really depends on the model and its life cycle stage. If the model is new then they tend to keep the driver packages as up to date as possible, having said that though there will be times when individual drivers are released separate to their package refresh times. So to answer the question, if you want to keep the most up to date driver packages possible go with the custom package.
Note that you could simply replace driver folders within the manufacturer package as an alternative also, i. Even having them in the same location as the drivers would be good as well. I use a network share for storing all the data but would the initial download increase performance if we were able to select a local drive or local folder and then relocate everything to the network?
Thanks a lot for all your effort on this tool and making public… Questions: — It seems that not all drivers from this model are current. The driver packages are the responsibility of the vendor to keep up to date and you will find that as each new product comes out, support for older models like the T will begin to decline. This is why I have added in the ability to create custom packages in the latest version, of course there is nothing to stop you simply replacing the old drivers within the package source and re-distributing.
As for duplicate drivers, personally I would just enable data dedupe on the distribution points to let it take care of any duplication issues but its a personal choice. Any Tips and tricks are welcome.. Great piece of software! Or will that break functionality? I am looking into using this tool moving forward but its having a issue with proxy I think. Typically we use an autoconfig URL is there a way to still use that with your script? It looks like the proxy was specified twice in the above.
You could try specifying the proxy manually in the code. Search for this line:. Also some Dell products just will not download via the tool. I have inputed the same proxy the computer and SCCM use and it will retrive models etc fine, but when it gets to downloading them it just sits on Establishing connection,.
