The first thing you’ll want to do is check your Format and Partition step. Setting up your Task Sequence to inject the update offline. Now I’m not going to go into details here, I assume that you already know how to create an SCCM package so copy your files, create your package (no program needed) and distribute the content to your DP(s). Your folder should now look something like this: I prefer to use a tool like 7zip to do this.

MSU since that is what DISM will use later on.

Next we need to extract the CAB file out of the. Ok, so you’ve downloaded the necessary files, placed them into a folder labeled “Windows 7 KMDF 1.11” or something like that. Grab the download! Get the one appropriate for your architecture. So lets go over the steps on just HOW to inject this hotfix (or any really) in an offline way using your existing OSD Task Sequence. I don’t know about you but I prefer #2 and will inject the hotfix during my next image build.

Package it up and inject it offline during your existing deployments.

Then import that WIM into SCCM for deployment, test, retest, retest, deploy to production.

Build a brand new WIM file and inject the hotfix (using MDT or DISM).

Now here is the “gotcha”, in order for this to work for OS Deployments, you have 2 options: With this new driver framework, Microsoft of course provides a hotfix that can be installed or injected into your Windows 7 image. You will find his comments on the original blog but I have provided a screenshot below.In a recent blog post by fellow Dell TechCenter Rockstar Warren Byle, he announced that many of the new Dell models (this is likely true with other vendors as well) require drives based on the updated Kernel Mode Driver Framework (1.11 at the time of this writing) in order to function properly. I have tested option #2 and it does work but he assumes you know to change the package ID.Īdditionally my colleague determined that you will need to modify this slightly if your environment is still 2007 and you are running your task sequence from the distribution point rather than downloading locally. Make sure you pay attention to the notes anytime you download new driver cabs and you will avoid the extra aggravation of your OS deployments failing.įollow an example of how to implement it here This is a known issue and has been blogged about before by Dell but the word does not seem to have spread enough so I thought I would mention it again in an effort to save you some time and effort. Over the past couple of months I have assisted several customers with driver and imaging issues on newer Dell laptops (E7240 & E7440) and all were specifically related to not having applied Microsoft KB2685811 (KMDF1.11).
