Searching subfolders under Driver Packages

Hi
I am trying to do a search on my Dell Specific driver packages in the 2012 console, each model is in a separate folder. When I go to "Driver Packages" under Search the "All Subfolders" option is not available. Is this intended by design?
I can seach subfolders under regular packages.
I want to create prestaged media for all my dell driver packages but cant do a search of all of them since each is in a separate folder. Is there another way to do this?
Thanks

It seems to be "by design". You could create your own PowerShell script to find in which folder a package is located (see:

Issue regarding Thin Installer and driver packages

Hello everybody,
I have recently started to work for a new company and have been tasked with creating a new Windows deployment solution.
My company are using Lenovo desktop and laptop and my installation image use Thin Installer to deploy drivers to our workstations during Windows deployment.
I have been having some difficulties getting everything to work and I want to write about it here to hopefully help someone in the same situation as me and call out for better quality control at Lenovo.
Here are the command line I call to start Thin Installer from the local computer:
START /WAIT thininstaller.exe /CM -search A -action INSTALL -repository \\wds\lenovo -noicon -showprogress -IncludeRebootPackages 1,3,4 -noreboot
Hers the issues I have expirienced:
1. Sometimes packages downloaded with Update Retriever will be set to "Reboot type: Forces a reboot" as default. This causes the Thin Installer to reboot reguardless of the -noreboot switch.
Its possible to change reboot type "Requires a reboot" in Update Retriever and than the updates installs fine.
This causes problem with scripted installs where you cannot have the system reboot "out of order".
Updates should never be default "forces a reboot".
2. On my Thinkcenter e93z (10B8) the Intel Displaydriver (v 9.18.10.3220) wont install because the PnPID is not listed in the XML file. (my PnPID is VEN_8086&DEV_041E&SUBSYS_309C17AA (309D17AA is listed tho)). Manualy editing the XML files to include my PnPID solves the problem.
Lenovo should really have better qualitycontrol here.
3. On a t440s machine i have the Synaptics UltraNav Driver (v. 17.0.12.60) wont install automatically with Thin Installer.
This is because the machine i installed failed the "BIOS test" in the XML file of the update package. I manually edited the XML file and replaced the "BIOS TEST" with one from another update that worked on that system and now everything installs automatically and works fine.
Its possible that Lenovo has detected some kind of problem with my BIOS version and the Synaptics driver but everything seems to work fine for me.
I hope this post will help someone in the future
EDIT: Other people have called out some problems with the information provied in this post. You should read the whole thread before making any changes to your systems.
Kind Regards,
2bi

2bi,
Thanks for posting your findings. I will investigate and escalate the missing PnP id issue for the Display Driver issue. We absolutely need to avoid these kinds of escapes.
For you ThinInstaller command line I would recommend not using the -showprogress parameter if you are using in a scripted deployment scenario with something like MDT and/or SCCM. These solutions typically will not allow TI to interact with the desktop during deployment which is what -showprogress will cause.
Also, you are telling TI to include packages that will automatically reboot your system (type 1), requires a reboot which can be delayed (type 3), will shutdown the machine automatically (type 4). We have very few type 4 packages anymore; however we definitely have type 1 and type 3. As sclexman mentioned, the -noreboot will only apply to the type 3 packages which leave the execution of the reboot up to TI. So -noreboot tells TI that even if it installs updates of type 3, it should not reboot when finished.
Changing the Reboot Type value in Update Retriever only changes how TI sees the package and does not alter how the package itself executes. So if a package is designed to always automatically reboot, changing it to type 3 in UR will have no affect. We have recently had a display driver released by Intel that will automatically reboot if the driver installer detects that it is upgrading an older version of the driver. In a clean deployment scenario, the automatic reboot will not happen so in this case it is safe to change the type to type 3.
This leads to another point. All of our content that is available through Update Retriever is also intended for consumption by System Update which is the utility aimed at individual consumers to help them keep their drivers up to date. Therefore this becomes our lowest common denominator that we have to support. This leads to situations that may not be ideal for the deployment scenario. If we had an army of resources we might be able to manage all of our content for both consumers and enterprise deployments; in effect doubling our efforts. Unfortunately this is not the case and we are trying to do the best we can.
Regarding the UltraNav update for T440s, I see that the XML has a _BIOS section under the Dependencies. However it is defined such that any BIOS level will work because the first level listed is a wildcard asterisk (*). This BIOS section is actually included for a completely different solution which also uses the XML. It is not intended to control the targeting of the update for System Update or Thin Installer. Perhaps there was a mistake made initially and the XML was released without the * and has since been fixed.
(from the current UltraNav driver package: )
<_Bios>
<Level>*</Level>
<Level>GGET*</Level>
<Level>GFET*</Level>
<Level>GHET*</Level>
<Level>GIET*</Level>
<Level>GJET*</Level>
<Level>GLET*</Level>
<Level>GMET*</Level>
<Level>GNET*</Level>
<Level>GRET*</Level>
</_Bios>

Drivers accidentally removed from driver packages

I've accidentally removed several drivers across several driver packages on SCCM 2007. It was due to a misunderstanding of the "Add or Remove Drivers to Packages" dialog box. I deselected the existing packages, wanting to add just to
a new package & not touch old working packages. Doh!
I know the drivers that have been removed and have made a new package and distributed it to DPs. However the drivers are still not being matched & installed by 'Auto Apply Drivers' even though
they are back on DPs (albeit different packages). The Setupapi*.log says "There are no compatible drivers for this device". Could someone please help troubleshoot? :-
Does the fact DPs havn't been refreshed for the old packages cause failure somehow with the new package? Possibly the content is still thought to be in the old packages and the content search fails? I'd be very grateful for any suggestions for
either restoring the drivers to where they were or getting the ones in the new package recognizable once more. Failing that any suggestions on which logs to look at & how the MP/DP matches driver content.
Extra info:-
-Some of the old packages have "Use a compressed copy of the source directory" selected.

So part of the problem here is that in years past driver source folders were specified as being the source root folder. (The source root is a mush of content GUID folders from multiple driver packages!) It means that now when I go to
refresh those old packages 9GB of drivers are included in the content that gets copied to the DP for each package even though the driver itself is only 50MB. Thats 9GB for each of 10-20 packages currently being refreshed. So thats a pretty
big replication storm going on now.
I've been able to find which content GUIDs are associated with which package by looking in the v_DriverContentToPackage SQL table. So I'll be able to move the right GUID folder to subfolders with the package name,
then redistribute. Thats when the storm stops.
Anyone have any ideas for stopping the old packages refreshing? At the moment I'm having to delete old content from the DPs so Distribution Manager can finish doing what it needs to.

Hp ENVY m6-010dx Notebook Windows 7 Driver Package SOLVED

As many of you know, hp does not provide Windows 7 Drivers for many newer notebook models that shipped with either Windows 8 or 8.1. Some models, such as ProBook, do come with both Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 licenses and have thus hp provides drivers for both.
The hp ENVY m6-010dx ships with Windows 8.1 installed and only has listed drivers for that operating system on the hp Support Site. Many of the Windows 8.1 Drivers will work for Windows 7 - but some will not.
I have complied a Windows 7 Driver (64bit) Package for the ENVY m6-010dx (my guess is it will also work on other slightly different ENVY Models with AMD Processors such as mine).
If you have an hp ENVY m6-010dx and hate Windows 8.1 and want to downgrade to Windows 7 - here is the link to the driver package I have put together. It's a large file - well worth the download time though if you want to use Windows 7.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/01svwkhdi9n9crf/AABqObKTkDmU3g04gMfi0ky-a?dl=0
Hope this helps others.

You're very welcome.
Try this driver for the bluetooth from a Lenovo notebook...
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029104
Try this wirless driver from asus:
You wan the windows 7 file labeled : (The first one listed)
ASUS PCE-AC66 driver 6.30.95.26
OS Support : Wins 7 (32&64)
http://www.asus.com/Networking/PCEAC66/#support_Download_30
Now you install this driver by unzipping the file you downloaded and make a note of the location of the unzipped file.
Go to the device manager and click on the network controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software and browse to the folder that was unzipped.
Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and see if the driver installs that way.

Call to Driver Package Error - Nine Possible Solutions that have Resolved this Issue!

Hello everyone I've decided to write up this guide to discuss and troubleshoot the “Call to Driver Package Error”.
What is it ? What causes it?
This issue normally occurs when a specific driver, that is being called, cannot be called. Sometimes, a 1627 or 1603 error is referenced in the error.
- If a 1603 error is referenced, this indicates that an ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE has occurred, meaning a component of the installation failed. This is normally accompanied when another form of installation occurs.
- If a 1627 error is referenced, this indicates that an ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILURE has occurred, meaning a function at a specific moment has failed, and the installation cannot continue.
Typically, these numbers do not mean a whole lot. However, for an advanced user, these numbers might mean a little bit more.
An example?
"Call to driver package install returned the error 1603 for Pkg C:/ProgramFiles\HP\HP officejet pro 8600\driverstore\ng scan driver\HPWia_OJ8600.INF"
This is the most recent error message I've witnessed. If you break it down, you will notice that “HPWia_OJ8600.INF” is the installation file (INF) that has failed. WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) is crucial for scanning, and the printer installs this file to enable scanning features.
How can you troubleshoot this error?
This is the main portion of the post. I am going to suggest a significant list of troubleshooting that you can attempt. There are nine solutions which have resolved the issue in different situations, all of which I personally worked with. I'm hoping that these solutions will work for you if you have to face this error.
*Please note that some of this troubleshooting is a little complicated. If a mistake is made, you may have to reinstall the operating system. However, the final troubleshooting step will require you to do this. You should make sure all of your data is backed up before troubleshooting.
Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)
Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
How to Back Up Your Files (Windows Vista or XP)
You should also backup the Registry. There are some Registry-editing steps in the troubleshooting I provide.
Backing Up, Editing, and Restoring the Windows Registry (Windows 8)
Backing Up, Editing, and Restoring the Windows Registry (Windows 7)
Backing Up, Editing, and Restoring the Windows Registry (Windows 98, ME, and XP)
*After each step is attempted, you can try installing the printer software. If it fails, please uninstall the software before proceeding. This HP document will explain how to do it:
1. The first step is performing a Clean Boot. I've resolved this issue in the past by performing this simple step before installing the software. A Clean Boot will turn off third-party programs and services that could be blocking the software from working correctly. For more information on how to do this, please look at this Microsoft document:
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
2. Next, make sure the Windows Installer it turned on and started. If it not, the installation may not complete. To do this, hold down the “Windows” and “R” key on the keyboard, which will open the Run box. In that box, type “services.msc” (without the quotes) and hit Enter.
Now scroll down to the Windows Installer. If it is checked stopped, or not started, right-click on it and select “Start”.
3. Next, I would suggest completing all Windows Updates:
a) Open "Windows Update" in Control Panel.
b) Click "Settings", and then click "Install optional updates".
c) Next, click "Check for updates".
This will ensure that all updates are found and installed. Once they are installed, see whether or not the error returns.
4. If the issue is not resolved at this point, I would like to check the system for obvious corruption with an SFC scan. SFC stands for System File Checker, and it scans and attempts to restore corrupted Windows files.
To do this, open Command Prompt as Administrator. Type in this command and hit Enter afterward: sfc
/scannow
Write down the results and restart computer after this completes.
5. Creating a new Administrator account is a workaround to the issue. If the error does not appear on other accounts, this proves that whatever is causing the error is account-exclusive. I'm going to suggest you unlock the computer's built-in Administrator account.
To do this, open Command Prompt as Administrator, again. Then type in this command and hit Enter afterward: net user administrator /active:yes
6. The next step involves editing permissions in the Registry. In the Registry, please review the instructions below to apply full permissions to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
a) Right-click on the key that you need to edit and/or delete (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). Click on "permissions..."
b) Click "Add" in that Window that appears.
c) There will be an empty box under "Enter the object names to select". Type "Administrator" (without the quotes), then click on "Check Names".
d) An Administrator name will appear, click "Ok" when it does.
e) You should be able to select (click) the Administrator profile under "Group or user names". Once clicked, click on "Advanced".
f) Click on the "Owner" tab.
g) Click on the Administrator profile, then put the check-mark in "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects".
h) Go back to the "Permissions" tab, and ensure the Administrator profile is selected.
i) In the "Permissions" tab, put a check-mark in every box available. The boxes will likely be indicated by "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" and "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object".
j) Next, click "Edit". Put a check-mark in "Full Control" under Allow. Click Ok. Now, click Apply (you may receive a Window security message, just click "Yes"), then Ok.
k) Exit the Registry, then restart the computer, and launch the Administrator account.
7. The next step is to re-register the Windows Installer, and other dynamic library links (.DLL). Doing this will reference certain components that are required to complete the installation. Open Command Prompt as Administrator, then type each command and hit Enter after each one:
MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER
MSIEXEC /REGSERVER
REGSVR32 MSI.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL
REGSVR32 WINTRUST.DLL
REGSVR32 INITPKI.DLL
REGSVR32 DSSENH.DLL
REGSVR32 RSAENH.DLL
REGSVR32 GPKCSP.DLL
REGSVR32 SCCBASE.DLL
REGSVR32 SLBCSP.DLL
REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL
REGSVR32 CRYPTDLG.DLL
8. There are certain DLL files that can interfere with the installation, and they should be deleted. Go to C:\Windows\System32
Delete the following files:
HPZipm12.dll
HPZinw12.dll
9. Before reinstalling the operating system, you can try restoring it. This will allow you to return the computer to a point where the printer was working.
*You should only do this if the software worked in the recent past.
What is System Restore? - For Windows 7 and Vista
How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC - For Windows 8 and 8.1
What if these nine solutions do not work?
Finally, you will need to reinstall the operating system if the issue is not resolved by this point. However, I can promise that this will resolve the issue. Here is a generic document on reinstalling the operating system:

And that's everything. Thanks for reading! - Mario

Why I can delete a driver in a driver package that I have no "permission" on?

Scenario:
One CAS (CAS), one Primary Site, two users (User1 and User2)
We create a Driver Package with some drivers on Primary Site.
Set Security Scope for the created Driver Package that only could be seen by User1.
Logon with User2, delete a driver under Driver node and that is a member of that Driver Package.
Pop up a window with a button” Show References”, click the button, no reference shows up.
Click OK, then the driver is deleted permanently and not available from User1 too.
Then you may wonder:"Why can I delete the drivers in the driver package?"
Reason:
The Security Scope does not apply to every driver when you set that for a Driver Package. So User2 still has the right to delete a driver in that Driver Package. The pop-up window shows no reference because User2 has no permission to read the Driver Package.
Workaround:
There is no perfect workaround. If needed, you could set the permissions of Device Drivers to uncheck delete permission as shown in the picture below.
However, please be aware of that, this user would be unable to delete ANY drivers under the Drivers Node.
Reference:
Planning for Security in Configuration Manager

If you are using Lion the user Library folder is hidden.
Finder > Hold down the option key and click Go on the menu bar. Then open Libary from the list.
So User Library > Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
Finder in column mode is the easiest..

Captured & imported image, and driver package not going to DP

I have an image I've imported and even though I've selected "Distribute Content" manually it does not go to DP. I checked everything I could think of (making sure DP was set to service the boundary group, etc.), but it still won't go.
In status, it says "in process".
Question - do I need image/properties/package share settings "copy the content in this package to a package share on distribution points" selected to enable this image to be sent to the DP?
Under Distribution Settings - do I need to select "Distribute the content for this package to a preferred DP..." and any recommendations on if this should be sent to Automatically, Download only changes, or Manual?
Similarly, I also noticed my Driver Package had also not been sent to the DP, so my question applies to that as well. After creation, do these settings need to be selected?
Thank you
Nathan

Hi,
The reason why this happens is a combination of the following two reasons:
- You enabled for prestaged content in the distribution point.
- Go to the properties of the image, on the "Distribution Settings" tab the radio button is set to "Manually copy this content to the distribution point".
Enabling the prestaging option on a DP will tell the DP to not receive content automatically. It is waiting until an administrator copied *.pkgx files manually to it and registers them using extractcontent.exe. That might be useful for DPs at the end of very
small WAN links.

Under "show package contents," where can I find edited photos from Photos app?

Hi everyone!
I'm getting used to the new Photos app on Mac. In the Finder, under "Show Package Contents" (from the Photos library) I am able to see a folder titled "Masters" which has all of the original photos that I import into the Photos library.
I edited some of these photos in the Photos app, and put them into an album. Where, under "Show Package Contents" can I find the edited photos in this album? I looked in all the subfolders but can't seem to find them.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at this: It was written about iPhoto but it's about 95% accurate for Photos too. The first one is the one I'm thinking about:

0xc0000135 while adding driver packages to boot image

Hi, I am currently having issues adding driver packages to the boot image.
Currently running Server 2008 R2 and have MDT 2013 installed.
Tried searching for the error but no luck. No matter if I choose the specific driver I want to add or if I just start from the beginning it just constantly fails. Does anybody have any clue as to what could be causing it to not accept either from the boot image
created from MDT Deployment Share or even using a generic boot image?

Create subfolders under Inbox via Exchange Management Shell

Hello. I 'd like to create a standard set of subfolders under the Inbox for some dozens of users. I tried the command below:
New-MailboxFolder -Parent Tony:\Inbox -Name
Personal
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd335113(v=exchg.150).aspx)
which is supposed to create the subfolder "Personal" under user's Tony Inbox. But the problem is that while I am an administrator and possess full access to his mailbox I can't execute this command unless I am logged into Exchange as the real ...Tony.
Theoretically there must be some way for the administrator to impersonate Tony and execute the command. ?
We have an exchange 2013 on premise and would like to do this via a script for mass deployment. Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

I believe you need to use EWS to do something like that. I did a quick search and found this script where someone else has already done the work. Probably worth a shot :)

Driver Package Satellite L40-17R

I have just bought a Satellite L40-17R and I am having trouble installing Win WP. Please help me do that.
I have downloaded the Installation Instructions but I cannot follow the instructions because I don't find the Driver Package.
It should be here but it isn't. http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Please help me enjoy my Notebook.
Thank you very much.
P.s. Excuse my English.

Hello Luck
I believe WXP installation on L40 is one of the most asked questions here on this forum and I recommend you to use search function and search a little bit around. About WXp drivers there is no much to say. I found info that your notebook belongs to PSL4CE series and as I can see WXP drivers are available on Toshiba support page. There is no driver package but each driver can be downloaded separately.
All you must do is to install OS and after doing this follow the installations order. Check please page 27 on pdf file (Installations instructions).
