I’m extremely inspired along with your writing talents and also with the structure in your weblog. Is that this a paid subject matter or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent high quality writing, it is rare to look a nice blog like this one nowadays..

Have the same issues with the Lenovo’s. I am trying this as a work around…..

I added to my folder structure in the Out-of-Box the version name of the ThinkPads.

I then removed “set driver group” from my task sequence and added %version% to the drivergroups in the cs.ini file:

DriverGroup001=Win7x86%Make%\Common
DriverGroup002=Win7x86%Make%\%Version%
DriverGroup003=Win7x86\%Make%\%Model%
DriverSelectionProfile=Nothing

It seems to be working but not all of the drivers are behaving (especailly with HP laptop) so it leads me to believe that’s it is just scanning the PnP ids. Is there a log to check if the drivergroups are being used? And does %version% actually work in the drivergroup settings?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

I also have a Lenovo problem and was going to try %version% in the driver groups:

DriverGroups001=%Make%\Common
DriverGroups002=%Make%\%version%
DriverGroups003=%Make%\%Model%
DriverSelectionProfile=Nothing

Any chance of this working?

Thanks!

With Lennovo computers you have to create a ModelAlias something like at this site: http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2009/09/10/using-and-extending-model-aliases-for-hardware-specific-application-installation.aspx

They have model codes like 20552KG. I see alot of driversgroups tips but it is always HP and Dell examples..
