Deployment Solution

I'm having an issue where the drivers are not installing on a specific model.  Here's what I know so far.  This is from the DA_Logs_DATE.txt file on the PC that I am trying to image.

"

No of Missing critical drivers is 1

Missing critical driver detected : Device Number = 1

 Device Class = Net
 Device Class Guid = {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
 PCI ID = PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_153B&SUBSYS_1993103C&REV_04
 Desc = @oem7.inf,%e153bnc.devicedesc%;Intel(R) Ethernet Connection I217-V
 Inf Source =
 Best Driver =  and No of driver is 0
 Reason For Driver Selection = No Driver
 Device Type = Unique Physical Device
 Signer Name =
 Matched Drivers = No of driver is 0 ;
 Matched Drivers Signature =
 HW IDS = PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_153B&SUBSYS_1993103C&REV_04,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_153B&SUBSYS_1993103C,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_153B&CC_020000,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_153B&CC_0200
 Compatible HW IDS = PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_153B&REV_04,PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_153B,PCI\VEN_8086&CC_020000,PCI\VEN_8086&CC_0200,PCI\VEN_8086,PCI\CC_020000,PCI\CC_0200"

This shows me that is detecting the driver as DEV_153B...I've downloaded the driver from HP and in the driver INF it has a section for DEV_153B however if I try to import this driver into the driver DB it tells me that the driver already exists.  So I went and looked at the drivers.manifest.txt for the driver it is telling me is already there.  This has a device list in it but has DEV_153A but not DEV_153B.  How do we work around this?

Another little tidbit I found interesting in looking at the log it says

"DDB is empty-------Ghost::DA::WinDeviceDriverRetargeterWin32::ParseDDBDirectory():3103"

Why would this be?

I could be wrong here, but looking at the first post, it seems these are USB drivers?

If this is true, you may need to know that USB 3 controllers do not install in one go, but first the controller driver and in a second run the device driver. Are you using DeployAnywhere for the driver deployment? If so, you want to take a look around the forum as there is a very long-winded discussion going on, which also includes this issue...

That's probably my long winded discussion @bbc is talking about regarding DeployAnywhere.

I moved over to this way to deploy drivers, you might want to give it a go.  It's so much easier to understand/troubleshoot than DA in its current form.  I put off scripting drivers for a long time - but the linked walkthrough really makes it straight forward and just works.

There's an update to DA coming in 7.6 that will let you tag drivers that might simplify things.
