/skipMissingCriticalDrivers	The usage of this switch is that DeployAywhere executes even when drivers for critical devices are missing.
/handleNonCriticalDrivers	The usage of this switch is that it turns on non-critical device handling, the switch lets you find and retarget matching non critical drivers. You can provide 3 inputs that are as follows: miniSetup non-critical driver installation and upgrading occurs during mini-setup adminLogon non-critical driver installation and upgrading occurs at first admin logon. This may require a further reboot after driver installation user non-critical driver installation and upgrading occurs when the user runs c:\drivers\symantec\non-critical\run_dpinst.bat.
