Out-Of-Box Drivers query

[3duser]

Hello,

I just want to understand the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" part of BDD.

- Is this only used for creating your reference builds or for Lite Touch deployments? (I'm only going to deploy my images via SMS OSD)

- With the Zero Touch build and distribution point I have for the ZTI image, does the "All Drivers" driver group have all the drivers that are in the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" folder.

- Is it advisable to add all drivers that I know I will need for all my machine models which currently stands at about 20 models imported in the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" folder? Is this the standard way of doing it?

I have been testing ZTI on two machines and all is OK since all the drivers are in the image. I just received 5 new machines with SATA drives, some Intel stuff and HD Audio and these drivers are missing from the build so some devices aren't installed.

Thanks

Joe

OK, I think this is the way to go.

In my case once I had the OSD image I just installed it on the new hardware. Anything that came up as uninstalled in Device Manager I then added to the "Out-Of-Box Drivers" and then re-ran OSD on that machine. This all seems OK.

I still have a problem with the audio drivers but this would be related to not having High Definition KB888111 hotfix in the base image. I am updating that now so hopefully that fixes that problem.

Other things like the Biometric thumb print drivers may need to be installed as a SMS package in CustomSettings.ini but I am not sure yet.
