I hope that someone will be of some help here. I am using
Ghost to image a large number of systems. I have added
sysprep to the image. This systems are often used for
gaming events, and therefore they need the latest drivers
from NVIDIA. When Sysprep runs it always uses the MS
drivers. I have searched high and low for three days for a
solution and have gotten nowhere. Here is part of the
reason why, all Microsoft KB Articles on this are either
vague, contradictory, or missing.
Examples:
From 330717 which no longer exisits, but that I found in a
google newsgroup search:
------------------
WORKAROUND
==========
To allow the installation of unsigned drivers during the
sysprep process, an additional command may be used in
addition to the
UpdateInstalledDrivers=yes command:
"sysprep.exe -pnp"
Do not use this command in conjunction with the
UpdateInstalledDrivers=yes switch. The "sysprep.exe -pnp"
option is used only for legacy
device detection with Sysprep 2.0 but will run full pnp
enumeration prior to mini-setup and allow the signed driver
to be installed.
-----------------
This is a total conradiction. What is this telling me to
do? I tried all of the options, with -pnp, with
UpdateInstalledDrivers=yes and no -pnp, both. Yet I get the
MS driver every time.
From 314479 comes point by point instructions that don't
seem to work. Nothing there mentions
UpdateInstalledDrivers=yes.
Articles found throughout the Internet say, "add this to
unattended, add that", and those even seem to be conflicting.
So how does one include NVIDIA drivers during mini-setup?
Here is my [Unattended] section of the syspref.inf:
------------------
[Unattended]
OemSkipEula=Yes
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
InstallFilesPath=C:\sysprep\i386
OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\Nic\Pro100;Drivers\Nic\Pro1000;Drivers\Video\Nvidia;Drivers\Video\ATI;Drivers\Video\Intel;Drivers\Sound\Audigy;Drivers\Sound\Audigy2;Drivers\Sound\SoundMax
OEMPreInstall=Yes
UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes
