Hello,
(i'm not native english speaker)
I have a "stupid" question about drivers.
I'm deploying MDT in my enterprise and we have this situation about drivers :
- We have laptops and desktop computers
- several marks and several models
I managed to add in my MDT deployment share all the drivers i need for each model of computer in our environment.
After some researches i saw that, in my O.S deployment task sequence, i could use some kind of WMI request to check the mark/model of the deploying computer. And depending of the wmi result, i could inject the correct driver group.
(for example, if i deploy a toshiba tecra, the task sequence does the wmi request, sees that the computer is a toshiba tecra and so, injects the correct driver group containing toshiba tecra A50 drivers)
But, after some work, i saw that, in the task sequence, i can choose the Driver selection profile.
By default it is set to "All Drivers" and you have 2 buttons "Install only matching drivers from the selection profile" and "Install all drivers from the selection profile"
So i have the following question :
Don't you think it is much easier to do the following :
- Instead of using wmi request etc... and assuming the fact that i injected all drivers i need for all my different computers
- I keep this option by default, so i keep using the "All drivers" selection profile and the option "Install only matching drivers from the selection profile"
- That should mean that, whatever computer I deploy, mdt should be able to "install only matching drivers from the selection profile" so i don't have to worry anymore about drivers with complicated driver rules etc... => mdt will automatically install needed drivers
What do you think about that ?
Sorry if i am not clear english is not my mother tongue.
thanks.
regards.
Benjamin.
