      Andrew - this looks like great work. I have a question - when you say

      [CODE]
      You’ll see something like PCI\VEN_XXXX&Dev_YYYY&SUBSYS_ZZZZ… or USB\VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY or ACPI\XXXXXXXXX

      You take the driver for that device, and place it in a folder of /images/drivers/XXXX/YYYY.
      

      [/CODE]

      What files do I place in the folder? The files in the “driver file details” window? If so, is there a better way to get that file list?

      Thanks -

      Library Mark

        It depends on the driver. Usually, you just need the folder from the driver that has the .inf for the device. (Copy the entire folder contents, not just the .inf file) You can test that driver by going to a machine that doesn’t have the driver installed, and doing an “update driver” in task manager, and pointing to the folder. If it installs, you should be good.

        For some devices, the driver is an .exe that you can launch with a silent install command. In that case, the driver folder should have the exe, any associated files, and a drvinstall.bat file as per [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Auto_driver_Install#Adding_Silent_Install_drivers[/url]

          Hey Andrew, I really like this work but I like to do it more simple.
          As we are only using DELL machines at our school I can get cab files containing all drivers per model. I extract these files under /images/drivers/<modelname> and copy the appropriate directory to the client. So I’ve changed your driverinstall.sh a bit to copy these extracted drivers and the folder common to c:\Drivers. I’ ve also changed the registry key in the client image to resemble this:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DevicePath: REG_EXPAND_SZ:%SystemRoot%\Inf;c:\Drivers

          So windows checks c:\drivers for drivers before going to the internet when installing hardware after the client has been imaged.

          This should make it all a bit easier and you don’t need the machinedrivers.sh BUT and here is the question: my script does not seem to run.
          I’m running fog on ubuntu and placed my scripts in /images/postdownloadscripts on the server. And I’ve made them executable. I don’t know how these scripts are called by FOG, I guess it checks for fog.postdownload in /images/postdownloadscripts and executes that file? In my case it only contains:


          #!/bin/sh

          This file serves as a starting point to call your custom postimaging scripts.

          <SCRIPTNAME> should be changed to the script you’re planning to use.

          Syntax of post download scripts are

          #. ${postdownpath}<SCRIPTNAME>
          ${postdownpath}/driverinstall.sh


          So I’d like to do some debugging, can I append the output to a file changing this script like this:
          ${postdownpath}/driverinstall.sh >> /images/drivers/postdownloadscripts.log because I tried this but with no result.

          Are there perhaps problems with these scripts privileges?
          Maybe you can give me some tips on how to better troubleshoot?

          anyway I like what you’ve done and I will keep searching myself for a solution 🙂

          Txs!

            init contains cabextract so you don’t even need to extract the cabs if you want to go down the model route

              machine=dmidecode -s system-product-name;
              machine=“${machine%”${machine##[![:space:]]}“}” #Removes Trailing Space
              if [ $osid == “5” ]; then
              osn=“Win7”
              elif [ $osid == “6” ]; then
              osn=“Win8”
              elif [ $osid == “7” ]; then
              osn=“Win8.1”
              fi
              dots “Downloading Drivers”;
              mkdir /ntfs/Windows/DRV &>/dev/null;
              echo -n “In Progress”;
              cabextract -d /ntfs/Windows/DRV “/fog/Drivers/$osn/${machine}”/
              .CAB &>/dev/null;
              echo -e “\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b${ceol}Done”;
              regfile=“/ntfs/Windows/System32/config/SOFTWARE”
              key=“\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DevicePath”
              devpath=“%SystemRoot%\inf;%SystemRoot%\DRV”
              reged -e “$regfile” &>/dev/null <<EOFREG
              ed $key
              $devpath
              q
              y
              EOFREG

              code above will do what you want - change the paths to match your environment or wherever you want to store the cabs but using code example above. you’d put a copy of the cab into /fog/Drivers/Win7/OptiPlex 7010 for example then it will extract the cab and drivers will be installed during sysprep… shouldn’t need any postscripts

                  Hello
                  Thanks for this great work
                  Where can we get the 2 scripts ? (machinedrivers.sh and driverinstall.sh) the link in: http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Auto_driver_Install is broken

                  Can you repost it ?
                  Thanks in advance !

                        It works for me. My guess, somebody is filtering the link at your site.

                            That could be a possibility.

                                        Hi,
                                        My postdownloadscript driverinstall.sh is executable (chmod a+x) i’ve modified fog.postdownload but after image deployment (successfully) it doesn’t seem to run fog.postdownlad and driverinstall.sh .
                                        So nothing is put inside c:\Drivers (i ve put some drivers)

                                        Any ideas ?

                                          code above will do what you want - change the paths to match your environment or wherever you want to store the cabs but using code example above. you’d put a copy of the cab into /fog/Drivers/Win7/OptiPlex 7010 for example then it will extract the cab and drivers will be installed during sysprep… shouldn’t need any postscripts

                                          @Lee-Rowlett - Where is it this script is supposed to be placed on the server and its name?

                                            Just make sure you call the script from fog.postdownload

                                            ${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh
