Vuescan

[nch]

I am trying to streamline the deployment process for some computer labs, the current process is basicly:

Ghost 30 machines.

Install Vuescan by hand on the 10 machines with scanners.

As you can imagine, this is very very annoying.

So I plan to make another group in ghost for the scanner machines, transfer the vuescan files, and tada it works?

Well, not exactly.

I can get the vuescan application to deploy with no issues, but the unsigned driver needs admin rights to install.

I can think of a few fixs for this:

1. Make an autoit script to click through the unsigned driver box

2. Make some kind of driver installer (load the driver secretly, like anti virus software does)

3. Do them all by hand

I don't like any of these ideas, is there a more proper way?

Have you tried changing the signed driver policy to ignore and then install the driver? Get a newer or possibly older driver from vuescan that is signed.

Install the driver into the base image for all the machines then just install the software for the machines that have the scanner attached. You could use devcon to determine if a scanner is attached by looking for the deviceid and then installing the software.
