MDT 2012 Driver Groups Broken

Proposed MDT 2012 Driver Groups Broken

    Greetings,

    After upgrading to MDT 2012 from 2010, all machines we image are not getting drivers. This worked flawlessly for years before upgrading. I'm using the popular Johan Arwidmark "Total Control" method from this guide,

    http://www.deployvista.com/Default.aspx?tabid=78&EntryID=132

    Once a Task Sequence gets to the Inject Drivers step it blows right past it almost as if it didn't detect earlier what type of machine I'm imaging. If I set the Inject Drivers step back to "Everything" it will enumerate through the folders and pickup drivers.

    Has anyone run into this since upgrading or could provide some advice?

    Have you re-created the Task Sequence after you upgraded? If not, please do.

    Also, if you did add new drivers - update the deploment share.

    No new drivers have been added. Is this common to need to recreate Task Sequences post-upgrade? My Task Sequences have a lot of steps so I would just be copying and pasting the different steps into a new one. Does this fulfill the requirement?

    After upgrading to MDT 2012, I did have to recreate my TS. Some of the basic steps were copied from the old TS, however as this is a 1 time effort - I did it and recommend as well.

    Thanks for the advice, I will give it a shot. It is worth noting, I have steps for SetDriverGroup and SetStorageGroup in separate sub-folders in the Task Sequence as a provision for the way Lenovo presents it's model type. The only logic in those folders is a query whether it is a Lenovo or Non-Lenovo machine.

    Hey Tate,

    I'd recommend moving your "Custom - Driver Management" folder after the "Configure" step in Preinstall.

    Also note that MDT 2012 doesn't recognize the %Version% variable any longer, at least in my testing.
