How to remove custom preboot drivers (bootwiz)

Products

• Deployment Solution

Issue/Introduction

Preboot drivers have been imported to DS through the console. There are no options in the UI to delete previously imported preboot drivers and there is a need to remove one or more of them.

Environment

DS 7.x/8.x

Cause

There isn't a way to remove the drivers through the UI.

Resolution

1. Log in to the Notification Server/SMP with admin credentials and open File Explorer
2. Navigate to <ITMS install directory>:\Program Files\Altiris\Deployment\BDC\bootwiz\Platforms\WinPE\<arch>\Drivers\CUSTOM\Drivers
3. Delete the folder that contains the drivers that are no longer needed
4. Navigate to Settings > All Settings > Deployment > Packages > Click on 'BDC' then click 'Update Distribution Points'. This will remove the reference to the driver for package servers and update the BDC package
   
   
   
   
5. Rebuild any Preboot Configurations that need the driver removed
