Has anybody experienced issues were after running Sysprep on an image, once this image is deployed one of the driver does not install properly. If this image (the original)is restored before Sysprep is run on the image it works fine. All drivers were installed and working fine until Sysprep runs. If anybody has any suggestions they would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sysprep/PnP

Hi there.

It would help knowing what kind of driver is causing the problem (Mass storage driver, Sound,...)

Possible causes/fixes:
* Sysprep causes a Plug and Play detection and searches in c:\windows\system32\drivers first. The driver might have originally been installed from point A, but is also present in the windows library, which takes over.
* You have a pointer in your sysprep.inf file to a failing driver (e.g. mass storage section)
* If you haven't already, add the DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore to the [Unattended] section of your sysprep.inf. The driver may not have been signed.
* Install the latest driver for the device, preferably directly from the manufacturer (Intel, Broadcom, Nvidia,...)

Hope this helps!
