My experience
I am using DS 7.1 SP1. I deploy a Windows 7 SP1 image with deployanywhere. My critical drivers are taken care of and install properly. However, I am having some issues with my non-critical drivers. When I boot into my Windows 7 installation, I still have drivers missing, even though they are in my driverDB. I have verified them by typing the hardware IDs into my driverDB and they show up in my drivers list. My main concerns are with my audio device and video card. The audio is an IDT device and the video is Intel HD Graphics 3000.
I have attached the output of the following command (from the WinPE environment):
deployanywhere64.exe /target="D:\Windows" /ddb="Z:\task handler\driversdb" /reportNonCriticalDevices /eval
I see where it says I am missing the audio driver, even though I have verified that it is in the driverDB. However there is no mention of a video device. Can you please take a look at this? I also was wondering if this solution has been included in a release yet. Thanks.

Intel integrated graphics driver
Just as a heads up.. I've not been able to make any of the Intel drivers install properly on a subset of machines (Hewlett Packard dx2400, dc5700, dc5800,). This problem is still present after updating everything to sp1.
Thanks
My machines with this issue are Dell Latitude E6520's.
