Selecting the drivers by model

This window is only applicable to a Setup Deployment or a Sysprep WIM Image Deployment.

In this step of the OSD wizard, the drivers must be defined which will be used by the Windows Setup after installation or that are required by the Sysprep installation. This is the equivalent for manually inserting the drivers floppy during the installation process. Here you can define all drivers that might be needed by the deployment operating system to properly run. The drivers must be defined here as well in their usual .inf format. If you are creating an XP setup and your targets use a SATA disk, do not forget to add the required SATA driver here as well.

By default no drivers are predefined, therefore this list box is empty. To add a driver, for example, an Ethernet network driver proceed as follows:

1. Click the Create Driver icon  above the list box.
   The Create a New Driver window appears.

2. Enter the required data into the respective boxes.

   After all parameters are defined they must be checked that they are correct. Until the verification is executed and returns the Status OK, the wizard cannot continue.

3. To verify click Check Driver to the right of the Status box.
   BMC Client Management - Software Distribution will now verify all entries of this page, that is, the directory and the access rights to it and fill in the remaining boxes with the recovered information, such as the list of driver files. If all values are correct the Status OK is returned, otherwise an error message displays in the Status box indicating where the parameter value is not correct.
4. After the Status OK is returned click OK to add the new driver to the list and return to the OS Drivers window.
   Now the driver displays in the list of available drivers.
5. Repeat these steps to add other drivers. The drivers defined here must be compliant with the image to be deployed.
6. Select the required driver(s) in the list.
7. Click Next to go to the following wizard page.
