Hi Every one, Could yoy please explain what is difference to adding drivers in win pe image and adding drivers to drivers tab in osd in sccm. if we will not add drivers in winpe image what will happen ? Stephene

Drivers tab is where you add all the drivers, we add NIC drivers to winPE by selecting right NIC drivers which are compatible with your models from the same drivers tab.

Drivers tab is where you add all the drivers, we add NIC drivers to winPE by selecting right NIC drivers which are compatible with your models from the same drivers tab.

Adding drivers in WinPE helps you to configure images. You can deploy systems with this image without adding drivers during deployment every time. This is useful if you want to keep different images and deploy each image onto a bunch of computers with the same hardware configuration. Adding drivers within tasks is for each deployment. If you do not want to add the drivers into the image because you may need to deploy the image into several different hardware configurations but want to only keep one image, consider to add drivers in within tasks. Creating different tasks for different hardware configurations.

Use NIC drivers in your boot image when needed (otherwise don't add any driver to it) and multiple drivers in a driver package, not in your Windows 7 image. That way your image will be as clean as possible and multiple driver packages (for different computer models) can be added in a task sequence with a WMI query. For Windows 7 you have the choice to use only Windows drivers needed by the system (small driver package) or use the full set.
