Failure when injecting Windows 7 drivers into a SCCM 2007 OSD boot image
This problem was driving me nuts for the last week, and is more for my own memory than anything else. At work we got a demo unit from HP of the desktop computer we’re going to be rolling out this summer and I was updating the network drivers in our OS Deployment boot images. The Windows PE environment wasn’t getting the network drivers installed and finally I saw the error message “The selected driver is not applicable to any supported platforms.”
The fix was easy. Microsoft KB 978754 has a hotfix that needs to be installed on the SCCM Site Server, then the server needs to be rebooted. The drivers then installed without a problem. The KB article says the cause of the issue was the driver importing wizard couldn’t recognize drivers signed for only Windows 7.
Good to know.
