Is there a script to import drivers into "Out-of-Box Drivers", as well as the folders' hierarchy by which the drivers stored.
-
Wednesday, October 31, 2012 1:51 PM
For example, a mass of drivers is stored in a folder named "Drivers". But they are not directly stored in the "Drivers" folder root. In the folder "Drivers" , there are many sub-folders, and in the sub folders there are many sub-sub folders...drivers is actually stored in these sub folders, for the need of classification management.
Now I want to import all the drivers into Out-of-Box node, and the hierarchy of the root folder and the sub folders must be the same as in Out-of-Box node.
How to?

Try this...
Open Powershell on the MDT server and type...
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.BDD.PSSnapin <Enter>
Get-MDTPersistentDrive <Enter>
Look under the "Name" Column. That will show you something like DS001 or DS003.

Shame that you can't read my blog in your country. MDT Powershell: Importing device drivers from organised folders
My script improves on the others out there as if you add a driver to your folder (or delete a driver from the store) and re-run the script it will test and re-add that driver.
I'll post the code in the script repository in a few hours, just have to go out now.

Hi andrew, how great you are!
Create-DriverStore.ps1 is only intended to be used to create empty folders in the Out-of-Box node with the same structure of driver files storage folder?
And Import-MDTDrivers.ps1 is intended to create folder according to the structure of driver files storage folder and import drivers? right?
Later I will do a test.
I found that , the script Tim.Harris offered with the help of http://www.deployvista.com can only create the 3rd level folders into the Out-of-Box Drivers node according to the structure of drivers files storage folder, although the structure of drivers files storage folder has more than 3 levels.
For example , the structure of drivers files storage folder is Drivers for OSD(root)/Driverpack.net/Vista.7_x86/Touchpad_Mouse/3/M/(OEM name folders)/actual drivers.
But with the script from http://www.deployvista.com, the folder level created into Out-of-Box Drivers is only the level of "Touchpad_Mouse", and in Touchpad_Mouse folder is the actual drivers files... The structure of "/3/M/(OEM name folders)/actual drivers" was lost.
I do not know if I describ it clearly ,but I think you can understand.

Import-MDTDrivers.ps1.
I don't know what's wrong.
I copied Import-MDTDrivers.ps1 into the driverstore folder "D:\Drivers for OSD\WanDrv.com" which I wanted to import drivers from.
Then I mapped to the path in PowerShell window. When I typied "Import-MDTDrivers.ps1[enter]", it looked like Import-MDTDrivers.ps1 could not be recoginized by the powershell .
Then I copied all codes from Import-MDTDrivers.ps1 and pasted it into the powershell windows. Error came out like below.

You have to type .\Import-MDTDrivers.ps1 Powershell needs the .\ as the exact path to the script.
I suspect you may run into further issues also. It appears that you've never run a PowerShell script. Before you run the script, do this below.
- Type Set-ExecutionPolicy if the console returns "Restricted" then you will need to perform step 4.
- In an elevated PowerShell console(run as Administrator) type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

No, this script will create the folders on your hard drive based on the makes and models that you intend to use.

Yes, I am very new in Power Shell.
Can you make your .ps1 file easy to run for the newbies as me :-)
or Please teach me with the way in detail :-)
Thx!

Indeed.
First, prepare PowerShell so that it can run scripts. Video here. Or do this:
- Type Set-ExecutionPolicy if the console returns "Restricted" then you will need to perform step 2.
- In an elevated PowerShell console(run as Administrator) type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Next, navigate to the drivers folder as you did before. Then do this:
Type .\Import-MDTDrivers.ps1

Doesn't matter where you put the .ps1 file. Seems you run this without the necessary parameters.
Try edit this .ps1 file with Windows Powershell ISE. Read line 16. It's a good example of what to do:
Import-MDTDrivers.ps1 -DriverPath C:\Downloads\Drivers -PSDriveName DS001 -DeploymentShare D:\DeploymentShare
