Skip Obtaining Drivers from Windows Update using MDT

Does anyone know how to disable windows from obtaining drivers online after MDT is done imaging, the reason why I ask is that after the image is done, it takes forever for a dell keyboard to install drivers because windows is searching online. I would like
to turn that setting off using MDT 2012 if possible.
Thanks,
Bobby

Dynamic update only works when you are upgrading from an existing OS, and it only downloads critical drivers; network, video, audio, and mass storage. It wouldnt help in a bare metal build and probably wouldnt have anything to do with plug and play detecting
a keyboard.

Our online driver search hasnt worked in a while, since they began configuring our browser with a .PAC file pushed down via GPO. WinHTTP can't pick up settings from the PAC file, and we can't hard code the settings into the OS, because there are
a number of different proxies depending on where in the world you are.
I actually hard code proxy and WinHTTP settings while I build the reference image and then remove them, just so I can do automatic updates. It's amazing how much more work "security" causes sometimes.

Can you be specific as to what drivers are not installing? An issue that can be had when doing PNPEnum is that child devices of something that does not have a driver installed are not visible to the PNPEnum. A way to get around that is you can force the
injection of drivers that are not getting installed. Something like you can add a second Inject Driver step but, have it be a selection profile of drivers that always get missed because they are children.

Install optional driver updates from Windows Update for IdeaPad Yoga 13?

Windows Update on IdeaPad Yoga 13 - Windows 8.1 (64-bit) suggests two optional updates:
Conexant - Audio Device - Conexant SmartAudio HD
10.01.2014
Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 - Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 software update released in May, 2014
04.06.2014
Should I install those updates or should I keep the original drivers?
The original drivers from Lenovo "Drivers and software" section (http://support.lenovo.com/de_DE/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032590) seem to be older/outdated:
Conexant Audio Driver for 64-bit Windows
8.65.3.53 10/22/2013
Integrated Graphics Driver for 64-bit Windows
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
9.17.10.2843 10/23/2012
Intel Video Driver for 64-bit Windows
10.18.10.3282 10/22/2013

Windows Update has now another update for "Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1" and still no updates on the Lenovo site.
So I tried the the drivers from Windows Update and it seems that every thing is still working fine.

Obtain drivers from MS-Server and updates from WSUS

Hi,
is there a possibility to obtain drivers from the MS Server and the "other" updates from the WSUS-Server?
We have workstations with Win7 and XP and pluged in devices (USB) should obtain the drivers (if available) automatically from MS-Server.
Obtaining drivers through WSUS is not an option.
The Group Policy "Computer Configuration\...\Windows Update" is set to obtain updates from "intranet Microsoft update service location".
Should there be no possibility to distinguish between driver and update obtaining locations,
then is it possible to set WSUS as primary obtaining location and as secondary the MS-Serve?
Greets,
Emmanuel

Like I mentioned before I tried to use this:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753091.aspx
1. Try:
Step1:
I uninstalled the device and deleted the driver of my testing device. (local)
Step2:
I have created a new GP on Server 2003R2x86 (AD/DC) and linked it in the OU where my test-PC is located.
.../ComputerConfiguration/Administrative Templates/System/InternetCommunicationManagement/Internet Communication Settings/TurnOffWindowsUpdateDeviceDriverSearching-->disabled
Step3:
I restarted the test PC with a logonscript: "gpupdate /force"
Result:
It didn't work.
2.Try:
Same procedure, but instead of creating the policy on the '03 Server, I created the policy with RSAT for W7.
Result:
It didn't work.
Now I have a new question:
Isn't the above mentioned policy for this?:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/automatically-get-recommended-drivers-and-updates-for-your-hardware
I ask, because this is exactly the setting that has to be changed so that everything works the way I want.
(at least for the Win7 PCs. I don't care much about the XP-PCs because they will be replaced in the near future)
Well one option is to change this setting manually on every PC, but this would be a huge PITA.
Can this be done in a policy or with a script (registry?)?

Go Daddy UCC Certificate: "ExRCA can only validate the certificate chain using the Root Certificate Update functionality from Windows Update"

Hello,
I have this issue regarding certificate chains while performing Outlook Anywhere connectivity test
by Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer:
"ExRCA can only validate the certificate chain using the Root Certificate Update functionality from Windows Update. Your certificate may not be trusted on Windows if the "Update Root Certificates" feature isn't enabled."
Note: even if I got the error, Outlook Anywhere and
ActiveSync services work fine.
Environment:
- Exchange 2007 with SP3
- Go Daddy Multiple Domains UCC certificate (up to 5 Subject Alternative Names)
I already read and followed instructions on this TechNet post
Can I safely ignore this warning about the SSL cert? Using GoDaddy UCC cert but it is a little bit different by this case.
So after an investigation I understand the issue above is related to SSL certificate
Certification Path (see screenshots below).
NO ERRORS on ExRCA checking
Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority is under Intermediate Certification Authorities

ERROR on ExRCA checking
Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority is under Intermediate Certification Authorities

Can you add some useful information ?
I'm opening a support ticket at Go Daddy; I hope they could me some positive feedbacks.

Strange I have a feeling the exrca tool can't validate the godaddy class2 root authority due some older compability and wants to use the older original root authority valicert owned godaddy. Or when the exrca tool is validating the root CA it only has the
goaddy class2 root ca that was issued by valicert and not the standalone cert when doing the comparision. I sent the question to MS and will let you know when I hear back.
You can get rid of it
https://certs.godaddy.com/anonymous/repository.seam
Download the cert
◦gd_cross_intermediate.crt
Then import it into the trusted root cert authority on your CAS boxes. Then you need to delete the other godaddy class2 root authority. Make sure you see the one you imported both will be named goaddy class2 root authority but one will be issued by valicert.
Re-run the test and it will go away, I also saw the error with my domain as well using godaddy and got rid of it by using the new cert authority.

Wireless printing to an HP PSC 1310 Series from Windows 8 using Airport Express

Can someone point me to instructions for setting up wireless printing (to an HP PSC 1315) from Windows 8 using an Airport Express? I have a Dell XPS 14z laptop running Windows 8 on which I've installed Bonjour Print Services and an Airport Express (AE) supporting 802.11n. The laptop successfully uses the AE network to get on the internet, but Bonjour does not display any printers. I also have a Macbook Air that is able to print wirelessly to the HP PSC 1315, so I know it works. The problem appears to be with Bonjour, but I'm not certain. I've tried it with and without the 1315 added as a local printer in the Control Panel. Still no luck.
I had this same setup with a prior Windows XP laptop and an 802.11g AE, but alas can't get back there with the "new/better" technology.
Please help.
Steve

Hello rldegier. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
See if either of these two articles will help:
o Printing to an AirPort Extreme / Express Base Station or Time Capsule from Windows XP
o Printing from a Windows XP PC to a printer attached to an Airport Extreme Base Station or Airport Express

Is there any "contraindication" about installing every updates from Windows Update (and Intel drivers)?

Hello!
The question is in the title.
I decided to reinstall Windows 7 on my MacBook Air using Boot Camp and I'm trying to play a video game which is quite laggy. I downloaded and installed the lastest driver for HD Graphics 4000 and my computer didn't explode. Can I also download all the optional updates with Windows Update, including the ones concerning drivers? I read somewhere that we shouldn't install other drivers than the ones on the Boot Camp x.x Support Software installer... Is it true?
Thanks!

Peter,
From what I read, I thought Internet based clients always download from Microsoft Windows Update first?
"New in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, when you have a software update point that is configured to accept connections from the Internet, Configuration Manager Internet-based clients on the Internet always scan against
this software update point, to determine which software updates are required.
However, when these clients are on the Internet, they first try to download the software updates from Microsoft Update, rather than from an Internet-based distribution point. Only if this fails, will they then try to download the required software updates from
an Internet-based distribution point. Clients that are not configured for Internet-based client management never try to download the software updates from Microsoft Update, but always use Configuration Manager distribution points."

Error while trying to deploy 32 bit windows 7 using mdt

I am trying to deploy 32 bit windows 7 on a 64 bit machine using MDT. After the initial loading it gives an error stating that windows failed to start.
File:\Windows\system32\drivers\stm_tpm.sys
status: 0xc000035a
info: windows failed to load because a critical system driver is missing or corrupt.
I tried disabling the drivers .. still seeing the same error.
STMicroelectronics System tpmdrv.inf 1.00.04.14
STMicroelectronics System tpmdrv.inf 1.00.04.15(1)
STMicroelectronics System tpmdrv.inf 1.00.04.15(2)
Can some one help me out..thank you very much

If you are still getting the same error, then it would suggest that the drivers weren't removed from the image.
IF this is the WInPE image generated by MDT, then be sure that you run a *Full* update of the deployment share.

Windows 7 x64 can't read/install any printer drivers from Windows Server 2003 x64 (AMD64 folder and HP Deskjet 855c)

I read the thread Widows 7 printer
HP deskjet 855c driver about possible installation of HP855c drivers onto Windows 7 x64 from "Windows Server 2003 x64" CD but I didn't have enough luck to succeed with doing it on my laptop. That thread appears to be dead now
as it is marked "Answered", so I'm asking for help here. I have Toshiba Satellite P500 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgth6v.jpg).
Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies
of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 and
XP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster
Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).
Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate the
NTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I
attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)
Why aren't there x64 drivers?
During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the
Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter
Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer.
Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.
Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original
thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)
Andrew*
P.S. I was advised to come for help here from
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-x64-cant-readinstall-any-printer-drivers/4e7d06e1-33a5-4597-be70-4fdc087a63a7?msgId=9a045994-0d31-4d40-b17d-dba372393ee4

I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.
I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder.
I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
driver' when installing the HP 855c.
I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility

How to I get Graphic Drivers for Windows 7 using Bootcamp on my Late 2011 17" MacBook Pro?

I just received my new 17" Late 2011 MacBook Pro to replace my older model MBP. I had configured the older MBP with two 500Gb SSD drives by replacing the original hard drive and the DVD with 500Gb SSDs. Works fine. I then simply installed these two SSDs from the older MBP on the new machine. OSX works fine, after a few software updates. Likewise Win 7 Pro is installed on a Boot Camp partition with the drivers from the Mid 2010 MBP. Windows seems to run fine after the expected reactivation, but the graphics are obviously not running at full resolution, I am certain this is due to the differing graphics card between the Mid 2010 MBP and the Late 2011 MBP.
Apple does not show any drivers download for the new MBP, I am running BootCamp software version 4.0.
Although I could certainly do it, I don't want to spend the time to run a new installation of Windows 7 and reinstall all the myriad windows updates. It would take hours.
I know that the new installation process takes a step to download the BootCamp drivers, but how can you reinitiate this process after installing BootCamp as I have without progressing through the whole installation process?
Any help appreciated.....

"At least 16 GB of free space on the disk onto which you’re installing for 32-bit, or 20 GB for 64-bit (for Microsoft Windows and Windows-based applications)."
That's what Apple proposes in here Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows
Personally I would double these amounts and add to that the diskspace needed for your Windows games.

Firefox carshes at startup no settings have changed. Latest version of FF. I just rebooted the computer from windows updates.

After reboot and installing windows updates etc. FF crashes all the sudden. No idea why. I have deleted all profiles completely, unintsalled ran ccleaner and reinstalled. nothing. Any ideas? I don't think windows updates effect FF. FF will not even open in safe mode and rests d not do anything all I can do is restart and close.
Thanks I appreciate anybody who can help. I have current anti malware and my pc is clean. Windows 7 64 bit. I use Webroot and that is temporarily disabled as I try to solve this.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
