Hey everyone,

i found something to identify the hardware typ (notebook/desktop).
Don't know if this can be implemented "easily" into the script.

"ChassisTypes"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library … s.85).aspx

In a vbs script it looks like this:

' Get the SMBIOS asset tag from the Win32_SystemEnclosure class

Set objResults = objWMI.InstancesOf("Win32_SystemEnclosure")
bIsLaptop = false
bIsDesktop = false
bIsServer = false
For each objInstance in objResults

        If objInstance.ChassisTypes(0) = 12 or objInstance.ChassisTypes(0) = 21 then
                ' Ignore docking stations
        Else

                If not IsNull(objInstance.SMBIOSAssetTag) then
                        sAssetTag = Trim(objInstance.SMBIOSAssetTag)
                End if
                Select Case objInstance.ChassisTypes(0)
                Case "8", "9", "10", "11", "12", "14", "18", "21"
                        bIsLaptop = true
                Case "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "15", "16"
                        bIsDesktop = true
                Case "23"
                        bIsServer = true
                Case Else
                        ' Do nothing
                End Select

        End if

Next

For a Desktop it would only select the DriverPacks:

  • Audio

  • Chipset

  • Graphics A&B

  • LAN

  • MassStorage

  • Misc

and for a Laptop all DriverPacks without the Graphics A&B.

...look for the presence of a battery to detect a portable, perhaps? hmm

I had the same idea, but did not found any command to check that.

Hmm.  It's possible.  I'd have to do some testing.
Maybe I'll put it on my "to do" list.

Would be great wink

I don't know how you'd do your second option.  How would the script know what machine it's running on?  I'm not going to have it scan HWIDs and match a table of known laptops.  That would take longer than to copy the files over! smile

Ok i thougt there is an registry entrie or something like this.

We use small script with identifiy the hardware typ.

FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==" %%A IN ('WMIC csproduct GET Name /VALUE ^| FIND /I "Name="') DO SET HWType=%%A
ECHO Computer model: "%HWType%"
GOTO %HWType%
:RETURN
GOTO CONTINUE

With the identified typ e.g. HPCompaq8000EliteSFFPC the related driver installation will be started.

:HPCompaq8000EliteSFFPC
	SET LAPTOP=NO
	call s:\Driver\Win7\%HWType%\32\8000E.bat
GOTO CONTINUE

Sure this can not be used in your script, the hardware list will be too long.

But perhaps i can change your script for my needs.

Where can i configure that the script only extract the DP's X Y & Z and not all placed in the related folders ?
(Then i can create one for laptops and one for desktops)

Thanks in advance & Happy Easter holidays!

first, thanks mr_smartepants for the great script.
I think it will help me a lot in the next months deploying win7 to several different hardware configurations.

I miss only one "feature" (or perhaps i did not found it yet):

It is possible to install the drivers directly (method 1) from a network source ? (without copying it first to the systemdrive) ?
My hope is that it will be a little bi faster and save some bandwith.

And how can i procced if i will add drivers (OEM specific) manually (method 1&2)?

#EDIT#

In option that the script check if the client is a laptop/desktop would be nice too.
So some packages does not need to coped (e.g. Desktop need to Mobile Graphics, WLAN, Touchpad / Laptop need no Graphics A/B) -> More bandwidth too save big_smile
