In 8.5 Post RU2, a new executable named ''
updatedriver
.exe' can
be used
to
overcome this limitation.
The file
is located
on the NS at '<drive>\program files\altiris\deployment\tools'
To use the new executable, follow these steps:
- Import the driver using the normal
drivermanagement
process
- Deploy an image and allow DA to run. DO NOT boot to production.
- Gather the
Deployanywhere
logs
- Boot to production
- Open device manager and check the hardware
ID's
of the driver that didn't install
- Open the DA log that shows the targeting of drivers and search for the
hardwareID
of the driver.
- Note the name of the driver that DA used.
- On the NS go to driversdb and open up the driver folder.
- Copy the drivers from the source driver package into the driver folder under driversdb.
- Save '
updatedriver
.exe' to the root of the driversdb folder.
- Open a command prompt and type '
updatedriver
.exe <path to the driver>'
- '
updatedriver
.exe' will add every file in the
drivers
folder to the
driversmanifest
.txt
