  • 1.  Add drivers with a command line?

    Posted Jul 21, 2016 12:33 PM

    Running 8.0 HF2.

    Currently, I add drivers via the Driver Database Management bit of the web console, which can be a pretty slow and painful process.

    Is there a way to, via a command line, add drivers from a specific folder, tagged appropriately, as if I were using Driver Database Management?

    Thnaks!

    Something like this as an example?

    pnputil -a C:\drivers\T460USB\Drivers\HCSwitch\x64\*.inf
    pnputil -a C:\drivers\T460USB\Drivers\Win7\x64\*.inf

    I use these to inject drivers once back into production. USB, video, trackpad, etc.

     

    Otherwise you can go to:

    "\Program Files\Altiris\Deployment\Imaging\ghost\x64\DriverManager64.exe" and get drivers in the DB.

    I was thinking more of adding drivers to the Notification Server's driver database. :-)

    This is Part of the Symantec Administrator SDK - look in ASDK Help for Deployment Solution COM Programming. There are some Samples, too.
