Automatic hardware detection & driver installs in FOG

[Lee Rowlett]

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

[Lee Rowlett]

#!/bin/sh

ceol=tput el;
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

Great, thanks for the quick reply I will try this!

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 !

Sorry but the links doesnt work ?
i can’t access to them

[Tom Elliott]

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

no i’m not filtered…
I’ve tried from work, from home, from my phone

[Tom Elliott]

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 ?

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

[cml]

@ArchFan
Under: /images/postdownloadscripts/
Name: driverinstall.sh

Just make sure you call the script from fog.postdownload

${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh

Shouldn’t entering echo ${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh on the server output /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh, or no? I was having some issues at first and ended up putting the absolute path to rule that out as an issue

[Tom Elliott]

@ArchFan I don’t think so. Not on the server. The client/host during imaging or in the init process itself, yes, the server no.

Gotcha - I’ve had some other issues getting it to work as intended, so it probably wasn’t an issue after all. Thanks Tom
