Dynamic Drivers

[tvanduzee]

I have approx 50GB of drivers for different machines.
Is it possible to have NTLite grab drivers from a server based on the model of the computer it finds?
EX: If I am deploying to an Optiplex 3080, it would either prompt for the path or simply find the appropriate drivers from the server. Or a Precision 3520, again determine the model and find the appropriate drivers.

Thank you
Terry

Hi, you can export HWList of each one and them point NTLite to integrate drivers for exact machine. But its not dynamic and everything is inside install.wim / install.esd.

How many INF files are located in your drivers collection?

I was also thinking about dynamic driver folder on USB and integrate / install (like I'm using in Autorun.dll patch) only needed drivers on the fly during Windows setup.
I wrote targeting CMD script that will get only needed driver file names from directory using DevCon. But this process is really slow and I'm still testing it.
Simple test I'm performing now is 726 HWIDs detected on my PC and 703 INF drivers I would like to check if they are applicable, seems like 30min of scanning.

This solution will work 100% after some other tests, but as I said its slow for now.
