To determine if your DeployAnywhere database has the drivers needed for a particular computer, start the computer in question using WinPE and run the following DeployAnywhere command:
ghdplyAw32.exe /target=c:\Windows /ddb=DriversDB /eval
If a mass storage or NIC driver is missing, a list of the missing drivers is displayed on the screen and are also stored in a text file named ghDplyAw.txt.
This discovery process can be automated using a Deployment Run Script task (configured for WinPE) using the following in a Deployment Run Script task:
cd \Ghost
ghdplyAw32.exe /target=c:\Windows /ddb=\DriversDB /eval
Important: The previous task only works if the SmeUtil.sys driver is in the \Windows\System32\Drivers folder of WinPE. This driver is found in the Ghost folder in your Deployment Share. It can be added to the WinPE automation during the creation or editing process by right-clicking the Drivers folder and selecting
Add File.
As an alternative, the SmeUtil.sys driver can be copied by adding the following command to your run script task:
Copy %ALTIRIS_SHARE%\Ghost\SmeUtil.sys %SystemRoot%\
System32\Drivers
