ZeroHour Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) HiNot sure if this has been asked yet but here goes.We have a new web cam we want to deploy via Active Directory.I have a msi package for it but because our users are not admins they can not install the unsigned drivers it requires.Is there anyway to sign them myself?Or is there a tool that allows me to bi-pass this requirement of windows?Cheers Edited October 6, 2005 by Bâshrat the Sneaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Create an MSI setup that executes WatchDriverSigingPolicy.exe (or a self-made AutoIt compiled script). For as long as WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe is active, you will be able to install any driver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroHour Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 is that in windows?Where could I get this?Cheers for the help manYour a life saver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroHour Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Found the file at:http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/drivers/cd.htmWill post my progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroHour Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Sadly it does not appear to work.I confirmed the registry keys after using the exe but when I manually try to install the drivers I still get the dialog.Will do some more research but it aint looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 This .exe has to be running DURING driver installation, that must be the reason why it doesn't work for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berrick Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Are they domain users with no local profile? if so you could temp add them to the local admin group via a script then remove after the install, you can also use (the mostly forgotten) RUNAS command from a batch file as part of the install the only problem with RUNAS is that you would need to use a third party app to pass the the admin password to RUNAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroHour Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 Interesting concept there.Yeh all users are domain based.Going to have a look around. Got a bluetooth dongle here and its software bi-passes policies etc when installing on a machine before sp2 (MS would not sign drivers to work on SP1 as it was unsupported).
