    Hello,

    for a fingerprint-driver for a Toshiba-laptop a silent-installation of the software is needed.

    I did add the driver to the out-of-thebox-group, but this driver isn`t installed after deployment.

    When i manually install the software, the driver is installed.

    What is the best way to add this driver/software to the MDT-tasksequence?

    Thx

    Please check if the driver is not in .exe format as MDT will not support .exe. It will support .inf files , hence extract the driver and add them in out of box node.

    And update the deployment share.

    If you want to use .exe format only then add the driver in application node as an application.

    For silent installation , please try /silent and check if it works or search the silent installation command.

    I find that some laptop hardware requires some of the drivers to be installed as applications.  You need to find out what the switches are to run the installation silently, and then import it into MDT as an application.  Most of the Toshiba hardware specific installers I have needed can be installed silently by running setup /s

    You can also open up a command prompt, browse to the location where the setup.exe is located and perform a setup.exe /? 9 out of 10 times, a dialog screen will appear with the silent switches. These can be all kinds of switches:

    /s, /silent, /q, /qn, -install etcetera.

    Good luck!

    Keep us posted, and if helpful please rate! Kind regards

    Extract the toshiba package and run this command 

    tinstall.exe -s

    This works for most toshiba driver install packages ... most

    I've found a Toshiba to be terrible with these types of driver installs.  Mainly things like USB3, Bluetooth, 3G etc...

    tinstall.exe -s  -  usually does the trick though.
