First we have to download and prepare a driver package before we can start importing it into SCCM. From the bigger hardware vendors like Dell, HP and Lenovo you can download complete driver packages. Download the driver packs from here: Dell: Dell Driver Packs. HP: HP Driver Packs. Lenovo: Lenovo Driver Packs. Extract the driver cabs and copy.

This document details how to upload drivers into SCCM, create driver packages and keep everything organised.

Driver packages in SCCM 2012 are used for installing device drivers. Drivers uploaded into SCCM can be bundled together into a single package for a specific device. Driver packages are most commonly installed through a task sequence whilst building a new computer.

30 Steps total

Step 1: Preparation

Before creating a driver package you must first upload all the drivers that you need to the configuration manager content source location. In this example ours is servercm-sources.

Create two folders on the share where you keep configuration manager content – one called ‘Drivers’ and one called ‘Driver_Packages’. The drivers folder will be where we upload drivers to and the driver packages folder is where SCCM will store content for driver packages. You should not manually upload anything into the driver packages folder.

Step 2: Create subfolders for different Manufacturers and Models in Drivers and Driver_Packages

You should keep all device drivers organised by manufacturer. You should then create sub folders within these folders for each model.

In this example I am going to upload drivers for a Dell E7240. Therefore my folder structures looks like this:

Servercm-sourcesDriversDellE7240
Servercm-sourcesDriver_PackagesDellE7240

Step 3: Download the relevant device drivers directly from the Manufacturer

In this case we have downloaded the drivers from the Dell website.

Step 4: Copy the drivers into the drivers folder

In this case we have copied the drivers to Servercm-sourcesDriversDellE7240. Do not copy them into the driver packages folder.

Step 5: Open Configuration Manager Console

Navigate to Software Library > Operating Systems > Drivers

Step 6: Create a folder for the manufacturer

Right click drivers and click Folder > Create Folder.

In this case we are going to call the folder ‘Dell’.

Step 7: Create a subfolder within the manufacturer folder for the model

Right click the manufacturer folder, click Folder > Create folder

In this case we are going to call the subfolder ‘E7240’.

Step 8: Uploading drivers and creating a driver package

Right click Drivers and click Import Driver.

Step 9: Select Import all drivers in the following network path (UNC)

Enter the UNC path for ServerCM-SourcesDriversManufacturerModel. In our case the UNC path is ServerCM-SourcesDriversDellE7240.

Step 10: Click Next.

Step 11: Assign the drivers to a category

Check the box for ‘Enable these drivers and allow computers to install them’ and then click Categories > Create and enter a name (e.g. Manufacturer and Model). In this case we have named the category Dell E7240

Step 12: Ensure the new category is checked and click OK and then Next.

Step 13: Click New Package and enter the details for the new package

Ensure‘Update distribution points when finished is’ checked and then click New Package.

Step 14: Name the driver package and enter the UNC path where you want Configuration Manager to store drivers added to the package

We are using the naming convention [Manufacturer] [Model] Driver Package.

Simcity 5 download torrent. This time the UNC path will be for the model folder you created in the Driver_Packages folder. In this example our UNC path is SERVERCMSourcesDriver_PackagesDellE7240.

Click OK.

Step 15: Ensure the new package is checked and click next.

Step 16: Do not select any boot images and click next.

Step 17: Click next on the summary window and then wait for the drivers to import.

Step 18: Review any failed driver imports and then click close.

Step 19: Move drivers and driver packages into folders

We now want to move the drivers into the correct folder to keep everything organised.

Hack injector download. Extreme Injector is a small utility that allows you to add a DLL library to a specific process. The program automatically compiles a list of active processes and performs an “injection” in just a couple of clicks, and its main purpose is the hacking of computer games. That is, it is a tool for those who are used to using cheats in games. CompatibilityNot all PC games can be “hacked” with the help of ordinary trainers. For example, projects such as Far Cry 4 or FIFA 18 do not “give in” to any other methods of introducing cheats except for substituting DLLs. And the “injection” is required to be performed directly in the running process, and the values ​​that are responsible for the number of certain resources and the work of individual mechanics must be changed in the source library itself. On thematic forums you can download already “assembled” DLL with the parameters you need.

Click on Drivers and then Categories to sort all drivers by categories.

Step 20: Select all the Drivers that need to be moved.

In this case we are selecting every driver assigned to the Dell E7240 category.

Step 21: Right click the selected drivers and click move.

Step 22: Select the folder for the model and then click OK.

Step 23: We now want to move the newly created driver package.

Click on Driver Packages in SCCM.

Step 24: You will see the newly created driver package here.

Step 25: Right click Driver Packages and click Folder > Create Folder

Step 26: Create a folder for the manufacturer – In this case we have named it Dell.

In this case we have named it Dell.

Step 27: Create a sub folder for the model

Right click the manufacturer folder and click Folder > Create Folder.

Step 28: Click on Driver Packages, right click the driver package which needs to be moved and click move.

Step 29: Select the folder for the model and click OK.

Step 30: The driver package will now be in the Driver Packages > Manufacturer > Model folder.

We have now uploaded drivers, created a driver package and organised everything so that it is easy to find.

Hey guys,

Lenovo Sccm Driver Package Windows 10

So not a long time ago I complained about how hard it is to correctly implement drivers in SCCM. Now, this is kinda controversial because not everyone are facing issues with it, but I know I'm not alone on this one.

/u/hammena opened my eyes and explained about how it can be done using a different method. I would like to share it with /r/SCCM now.

So let's begin:

  • First, we'll download the drivers we want to apply. For this example, I will use drivers for HP 840 G3.

Each vendor has driver packs for his computers. In my case, this is HP's website:

I'll download and transfer the file to a folder I created inside the SCCM server.

  • Open the .exe file and extract the files to our folder.

  • Now, go to 'Software Library' > Packages and create a new regular package.

  • Tick 'this package contains source files' and choose the location of the drivers you extracted.

  • Choose 'Do not create a program'

Don't forget to distribute to DPs.

  • Now go to your TS, and add a Run Command Line where your Apply drivers step is.

Lenovo

Add the following command:

Choose the package you created.

  • Now go to options and create a new WMI Query

Use the following query

Note: Instead of my model, use the correct one that applies to your laptop/pc. You can check the full correct name by typing the following command in CMD:

Also, in Lenovo this is probably different. Read more here

  • Next, change the success codes to: 2 50

That's it pretty much. You should be golden.

Note: Driver packs usually support more than one model of laptop. For example, my drivers support the 840 and 820 models of HP's Elitebook series, so I can call my step 8x0 deployment.

To deploy a step to a few laptops, use the 'if any' statement.

This method is not only easier, but it works 100% of the time, isn't a hassle, doesn't take long to implement, and most importantly, it makes the deployment itself a lot faster!
