Unsigned driver installation behavior

[Guest]

Does anyone know on an xp workstation where the local security policy has the
unsigned driver installation behavior set to silently succeed, why would I
get prompted to "continue anyway" or "stop installation"?

This is the behavior I'd expect for "Warn but allow installation."

One thing, I have a sec policy INF file with the following:
MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing\Policy=3,1

Could someone explain the 3?

The 1 is for "warn but allow installation"....but if that gets set during
setup shouldn't the local security policy reflect that? The two don't seem
to add up...

Thank you.

The .inf file should reflect in Local Security policy when applied via the
Security Configuration and Analysis mmc snapin assuming it is not a domain
computer with an overriding domain level policy. You might want to run that
tool against that .inf security template as an analysis to see if they show
as the same. I don't know what the significance of the 3 is as it is the
number after the 3 that controls the setting.
