Remote install of device drivers

[GoldenWonder]

Has anyone found a reliable way to install device drivers (i.e with .inf file) to remote machines?

 

I have some USB devices that require drivers, and 350 or so PCs to install them on. I looked at devcon but that only offers the install option for local PCs.

Freaky! I was working on something this morning and this too is my stumbling block.

I'll had a look at that thread thanks, I've used Orca before but never to install driver MSIs

If you can do it with devcon then why not just put that in a machine startup script? The only tricky thing is that you only want it to run once but that can be done by either setting a registry value or writing a flag file to say "driver installed":

if exist %windir%\usb_driver1_installed goto end
\\server\share\devcon  
echo installed > %windir%\usb_driver1_installed
:end
