Adding drivers to MDT that have no .inf file

I am currently creating images for a deployment server at work and have come across a problem. A few of the drivers I need to add, including the chipset driver, have no .inf files that I can see, I have extracted the .exe file using 7zip but this just produces
a number of random files. Can anyone help please??? I am using MDT 2013 and server 2012 essentials R2
Thanks

* You should only be using signed drivers in your environment.
* In order to get a *signed* driver from Microsoft, the IHV must supply a driver package that is installed via the *.inf file
* IHV's can add a *.exe wrapper after the fact, but the *.inf driver package is in there somewhere.
I have seen some instances of driver packages that have many working components that require a *.exe to install the individual *.inf parts in the correct order (some display drivers are like that), but these kind of drivers can be installed as an application
in the full OS. Any driver required to boot, should supply an *.inf package, if not please let us know so we can shame the IHV in question.
Additionally, some driver packages can be extracted without installation have you tried running the driver package with the /? switch to see if you can extract? or have you tried monitoring the %temp% directory to see what got created?  Driver packaging
is an Art.

  • ITunes Imported Songs that have no Original Files, How to delete easily?

    I just reinstalled iTunes on my computer and somehow it imported about 5000 songs that I didn't know I had. The problem is when you click on these songs, they can't play because iTunes can't find th Source file.
    Is there an easy way to delete all these songs or do I have to locate each one manually and delete them?
    Thanks

    Here ya go!
    - select the Library icon in iTunes
    - select all songs in the track listing
    - Get Info
    - change BPM to 99 (assuming you don't use that field for anything else)
    - wait for that to finish - it will take a while
    - after it's done, sort the display by BPM (ctrl-j & click BPM if it's not a column on your display)
    All the "!" files, which will not accept the BPM change, are now grouped together for easy deletion! Take the BPM 99 out afterwards in case you need to do this again in the future.

  • How to get rid of the PDF icons that have locked my files

    All of a sudden all files, except Word docs, are locked (no lock symbol, tho') by PDF icons.  Please help if you know how to get rid of them. I have uninstalled Adobe Reader, which clears up the locks, but then I don't have any way to open PDF files. I tried re-installing several times, to no avail

    Try Application, file icons change to Acrobat/Reader icon

  • How to find PDF files that have other documents bundeled within them?

    Hello guys
    I need help with the following: we have a huge number of PDF files that have other documents imbedded (bundled, attached) in them. If such a document is open in Acrobat, bundled files show up as attachments on the left. Some of those attachements are .mdi files. This is Microsoft Document Images files. Is there a way to flag PDF's that have those .mdi files in them? I need to find them and convert to PDF. If I need to be more descriptive please ask, and thank you in advance for help.

    Preflight is a complex plugin, it's hard to explain how to use it in one forum post. You need to read the documentation carefully.
    There's no pre-built profile for what you want, so you would first create a new Custom Check that compares the MIME type string of embedded files to what you're searching for (not the file extension but the full MIME identifier, which for Office files is a very long string). You would then place that new Custom Check into a new Profile, identifying it as an error condition. Once you've saved the Profile you can run it against a number of files and specify actions to be taken for pass and fail conditions, such as changing the filename or moving to a subfolder.

  • Where to put inf File so Servlets can read it?

    Hi
    I have a .inf file that contains the location of a database and of my smtp server. I have some servlets that make calls to java classes that read this file in order to access a DB and send emails etc. Where should i put this file so that when i come to run my project on apache the servlets and java classes can see and use the inf file? Do i need to put it in the WEB-INF directory etc? Do i need to add anything to the Web.xml file etc?
    Thanks
    David

    Thanks, ive set it up so it now uses a properties file which is placed in the same package as the class file on apache. But in order to read the file i need to put an absolute path in e.g.
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.load(new FileInputStream("C:/apache-tomcat-6.0.10/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/coreservlets/message.properties"));
    however i want to use a relative path, somethin like:
    props.load(new FileInputStream("/message.properties"));
    but this does not seem to work, do i need to define a realtive path using different syntax or do i need to place the properties file in a different place or change some configuration settings in apache?
    Thanks

  • App builder with .inf file

    Hi,
    I try to make deployment for a Labview app that use a .inf file to communicate with a printer. After the installation the printer don't work. I use a control for send data (USB0::0x0A5F::0x00A1::37J110900197::RAW)
    The printer is Zebra, I made the .inf file with VISA driver wizard and on my computer works just fine. I try to install INF file but still not result.
    It is a possibility to export settings from MAX? Or it is other possibility?
    Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I exported MAX settings, like you tell me and after that I made update of the driver from Control Panel like is describe here http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4478/en/  and now works.
    Thank you for support.

  • Extracting .INF files from drivers for Windows MDT

    Hello,
    Sorry if this is the wrong forum. There were about fifty categories and about 500 subcategories and I got tired of searching for the right forum.
    I'm trying to extract a INF file from a driver. I've tried 7zip, Winrar, and some extraction tool everyone said would work. It didn't.
    Drivers are here:

    Anyone have a solution?

    Hi
    I found this tip:
    Someone wrote this:
    +You have to run the installer, wait for it to get to the first point where you click Next to continue, and then leave it sitting there. Go into your system's Temp and find the particular one with the installation files inside it that were extracted, then copy it someplace, go back to the installer and cancel it.+
    You could also try this freeware application to extract the package:

    I reinstalled Itunes a couple of times.  I unistalled all programs that I never use, I updated all of my drivers, Windows swept my computer and found no problems.  I have a yellow causion lite when I look at the USB-port with the phone connected.  All other devices work without a problem.

  • Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

    Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
    iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • HT1347 When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP

    When I add a folder to the library, does that mean that 'later' when I drop a new file into that folder (already added) it will automatically end up in iTunes? (or do I have to add file/folder to library every time I have a new file??) I'm using XP...

    iTunes does not actively scan the media folders.  If you manually add content to a folder, then you must add that content to iTunes manually via the File > Add File/Folder feature.
    The only folder that gets scanned is the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder.

    Hi revsteph,
    If you have songs that you know you have purchased, but are not showing up in your iTunes Libarary, you may want to see if you can redownload them. You may find the following article helpful:

  • I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

    I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

    Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?
