The above steps has now resulted in a profile for an unattended installation of
Windows XP professional with Service Pack 2 integrated.
2.3 Adding drivers
In the point-of-sale environment the chances of having different types of
hardware to deploy to is very high. In our case we had four different types of
SurePOS systems, each requiring a different set of drivers. We found that it was
critical to inject the proper system board drivers at a minimum during the
installation process in order for the system to be usable after installation. This
section will go through the process of importing a driver into the TPM for OS
Deployment file repository and associating it with the proper type of device.
Note: This procedure works only for PnP drivers. If you want to make an
image with additional Mass-storage drivers then there is a Technote
documenting the procedure. To find the Technote, search the Tivoli support
site for incident 1260552.
