Issue/Introduction

After the DeployAnywhere (DA) process completes, the SM Bus controller shows a yellow exclamation mark in device manager.  The yellow exclamation mark is shown next to SM Bus Controller in Device Manager.

Environment

DS 8.x

Cause

The SM Bus Controller device in device manager does not represent an actual device. Drivers provided by Intel simply point the device to a 'Null driver' which removes the yellow exclamation mark in device manager.

Resolution

Because the 'driver' for the SM Bus Controller is simply redirecting to a 'null driver', DA doesn't retarget this driver.  Having a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager is completely cosmetic and does not affect any operations of machines with the SM Bus Controller device.  

No changes need to be made in DeployAnywhere code.
