Unanswered Dell Drivers Pack in Task Sequence

    I am trying to do the following:

    Drivers Folder

    -Model

    --NIC

    --Storage

    Inside my Applications, I have borrowed the VBScript wrapper from Johan for the Dell Drivers Pack.  I have imported this into MDT 2012.  When I try to install a 2003 server using this, it does not run due to the New Hardware Wizard.

    How can I get this to work?

    Configuring the following registry key should prevent the wizard from showing up.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\PlugPlay\Parameters]
"SuppressUI"=dword:00000001

    Kind regards,

    I've added a TS Step to put this key in, however (after reboot) it still pops up.  Is it because it's already found the new hardware and has asked for it once?

    Here's a follow up..

    I re-captured my image with this key set via the Hotfix (<cite>support.microsoft.com/kb/938596</cite>)

    I re-ran my build and it failed.  I noticed i had it csript.exe Install-DellDriversPack.wsf.  I fixed this problem.

    Now the drivers start to install, then the reboot task immediately following the install causes the driver install to fail.  This is because the script calls the OS driver pack install.exe /auto then that extracts and opens a batch script to install.  How can I get it to wait and not move to the next TS step?

    I do want to avoid any user interaction.
