      I have a new Windows 10 VM I have created with a bigger HD so it could install the anniversary update. I have tailored everything to be the same as my old Windows 10 image.

      The capture and download is fine, the only issue is the installation of the correct drivers for the correct model of laptop.

      I have mostly Lenovo thinkpads and some HP models. The copying of the drivers from our server to the computer isn’t a problem, I think that essentially it is installing the OS without any drivers and Microsoft is pulling them from the internet? I’m not sure and would like for any input that could help.

      See below that they are copying over with no issue.

      Is there something I am missing in the unattend.xml file I am using?

        You should probably take and inject the drivers into the OS so it can see them natively.

        Use DISM to do this using i believe offline mode. I had a post around here a long time ago about DISM and injecting drivers.

          Like this laptop I am on currently doesn’t have the right Display adapter installed:

          But if I click replace driver and path over to C:\Drivers\Display it will replace it with no problem.

            Read about injecting drivers there, you don’t have to take the image down to do it, you can do it from inside the OS.

              @psycholiquid isn’t this done typically for offline images?
              https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825070.aspx

              Means he needs to reinstall the os after that.

              Maybe he’s searching for a way to integrate drivers into a living system?

                Yeah dropping them into a folder isn’t going to work. Windows looks for drivers i the winsxs folder (No you cant drop them there either)

                That is why injection is good, do it before the image that way they are already there. There are ways to use batch files to install the drivers but I think it is a little messy.

                    Its possible to have the fog post install script place the files onto the target computer during image deployment and have windows find them and integrate them during OOBE. That is how we have been “injecting” drivers since the XP days. Truthfully, injecting is not the right word, it more like placing the files in a spot and telling winsetup to look in that spot for drivers.

                    I have a few tutorials out there on how to do this
                    here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8889/fog-post-install-script-for-win-driver-injection

                    and here for more advanced bits: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7740/the-magical-mystical-fog-post-download-script

                    For win10 to find the drivers you placed with the post install script you need to add the following section (at the end of the post) to your unattend.xml file: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8889/fog-post-install-script-for-win-driver-injection/3 That section tells windows OOBE to look for drivers on the local hard drive. The only caveat is the drivers MUST be on the local hard drive as OOBE is running AND you must sysprep your images.

                    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                      I found this: www.alexcomputerbubble.com/automate-driver-installation

                      I currently am trying to load the drivers using the command line tool PnPutil with a powershell script

                      I added a folder on my vm (C:\drivers)
                      With the powershell script that should load the machine specific drivers into the driver store

                      And also adding a SetupComplete.cmd file to execute with local system privileges.

                      I think instead grabbing generic drivers from the store it’s trying to install them. But currently it has been sitting at the Windows “Just a moment screen” with the little annoying spinning circle.

                        @austinjt01 The problem is that the setupcomplete.cmd runs at the end of OOBE some hardware needs drivers in the beginning of the process to run. Now we have had to run dism to “re-inject” the drivers during setupcomplete.cmd for certain hardware. The condition here is that some hardware is hidden behind other hardware (i.e. network controllers behind a usb-c interface). The usb-c interface would be detected but not the network adapter. DISM inject at the end would ensure that all drivers are loaded at the end of the setup process. The previous example may not have been the best, but we have seen hardware hidden behind other hardware that wasn’t discovered initially.

                        The other thing is that your reference image needs to have certain hardware drivers pre-loaded for instances like unique sata controllers that are required for the OS to see the disk for setup.

                        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                          So do you see any problem with using DISM to install the drivers? I tried it on one machine before I left on Friday and checking the results now in the log.txt file everything seems to been accomplished:

                          That is just a few lines from the log file:

                          Installing driver: C:\drivers\Alcor Smart Card Reader Driver - 10 [64] 1.7.45.15(n1eva07w)\x64

                          This process is not perfect, but before going any further I would like to anyone for some input. Thanks!

                            @psycholiquid I tried using DISM, but it seems to hang up the imaging process on a black screen until I reboot. However, once rebooting and the OOBE experience finishes, it appears as though the drivers were installed. Maybe it’s hanging up like that because I’m not dealing with an offline image?

                              DPInst could also be a possible Solution where you can Build your custom drivers install pack:
                              https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ff544842(v=vs.96)

                              For example, we have HP Probooks 650 with a WLAN enabled/disable Button, you need a Driver so the Button LED will lit different (OMG). Therefore i used dpinst:

                              Bild Text

                              To run dpinst silent use:

                              dpinst.exe /q /se
                              

                              You don’t need to configure something for dpinst, just place a driver with a inf starting with as root into the dpinst.exe folder.

                              You can place more then one driver in the same folder as long as you don’t overwirte any files (maybe also subfolders are supported, i am not sure).

                                @austinjt01 I will try to make a video of how I do it, and place it on Youttube this weekend.

                                  I’m a big fan of dpinst as well. Injecting for reals, into an OS for 30 different platforms prior to sysprep bloats the registry and can even poison an image in extreme cases.

                                  I prefer to not leave Windows to install drivers as it wants, but where I want, when I want; I do this in the unattend.xml.

                                  Alongside dpinst.exe in c:\temp\drivers I also place the dpinst.xml

                                  I run dpinst three times deliberately. First to grab primary devices, then to detect and load daughter devices, and then finally for those very few tertiary devices that can only be seen after two other parent devices are loaded.

                                  I then leave it to setupcomplete.cmd to reclaim the disk space taken up by staging the drivers in the image.

                                  @REM Place this file in C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts

                                  @REM Cleanup
                                  del /Q /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\closer*.xml

                                  del /Q /F c:\windows\panther\unattend.xml
                                  rd /s /q C:\temp
                                  rd /s /q C:\temp
