Windows 7 WDS Deployment - USB 3.0 Driver Package Won't Install

[idc]

Hi LVOgre,

 

I've just read your post regardig the new WDS filter options in 2012. I've set my filter options the same way as you but it didn't work at all with several models like m4700, m4600, m4800, e7440, e6330, e6320. Is it really working on your site?? I found an entry in the deployment debug log and it looks like wds is actually not able to check the model at all. I attached a screenshot. Would be nice to hear back from you! Thanks in advance.

Cheers Alex

I got this working after a while of trying things.

I first loaded all the ED800 drivers (including the USB3 drivers) into WDS and put them in to their own group with "Applicability: Drivers packages maqtching client hardware)". Then I made a new group with only the USB3 drivers with "Applicability: All driver packages in the group). I think the windows installs first the Chipset drivers from the first driver group and after that the USB drivers from the USB3 group.

I had this with the roothub driver for USB3, the first one installed and then this wouldn't.

 

I ended up using a script to install it on reboot (it points to server share with drivers in) Just applies to the OU with the batch of laptops in.

 

pnputil.exe -i -a \\****\NetworkDeployment\USB3\iusb3hub.inf

Thanks for that, helped with another issue I was having remotely deploying Arduino drivers, I had a working MSI that was working for months, then it would not install for some reason, does not matter now
