Hello - I am working on rolling out XP images to dissimilar machines, and
have hit a dead end. Everything goes fine, but when updating dissimilar
hardware, the computers prompt for driver install. Updating the image and
setting up subdirectories, as in KB254078, is not good, because you have to
have the default drivers in your image file, and that would be impractical
for our scope.
What I'd like to do is if the computer can't find the driver on boot up,
next check a network share where we could place all the drivers - but this
is tricky. Any help would be appreciated. I am using PowerQuest DeployCenter
5.5, but it's pretty close to Ghost.
More details:
Dos based network boot
The system does a complete overwrite of the client system
Reboots
The system gets to the desktop and prompts for drivers.
The problem is once the system reaches the XP install GUI, there isn't a way
to copy down drivers - that I can see. Maybe modify a script to just copy
down ALL drivers off a network share then reboot or something, but maybe
there is an easier way?
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks!
