Non critical drivers are not added when using Deploy Anywhere with Gss 3.3 because the Older DPInst provided fails to install some non-critical drivers

Products

• Ghost Solution Suite

Issue/Introduction

After Deploy Anywhere provides the Critical and Non-Critical drivers the client will reboot to production.  On the first boot the client will not have all drivers installed from the drivers that had been added. 

Environment

Ghost Solution Suite 3.3 
Deploy Anywhere feature
Windows OS

 

Cause

This is caused by some versions of the DPInst that is used during the installation of non-critical drivers is not functioning correctly with some drivers.  The version 2.1.0.0 version will work properly in these cases. 

Resolution

Instuctions to replace old DPInst files:

1. Download attached DPInst_2.1.0.0.zip and extract.
2. Replace files on the Ghost Solution Suite Server in these locations:
   1. <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\Ghost\DPInst\Amd64
   2. <drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\Ghost\DPInst\x86

Fixed in 8.1 Post ru7, 8.5 RU2 and GSS 3.3 RU3
