Good to know the caution about Bitlocker. I have a laptop with DCU on it … was 
thinking of putting Bitlocker back on; appears I can’t do that.

Hi All,

Thanks to all for sharing their solutions to the problem with Dells drivers. 
They all should work just fine.

I didn’t mention this, but the problem I am facing is not just at my site … but 
I also need to find a solution that will fit some 50+ MDT servers on a global 
scale. Drivers has always been a thorn in my side as it seems Dell does in fact 
change hardware on their business class systems on occasion. Then I have to go 
out and download the latest CAB files to get the missing driver(s).

When I spoke to their Tier 3 support, he recommended running Dell Command 
Update as an application which will automatically scan the system, identify the 
model and the hardware in it, then go out and grab the latest CAB file and 
install the missing drivers. Because DCU has this capability, I am thinking of 
only supporting LAN and storage drivers in MDT and then use DCU to finish the 
driver installs. The biggest problem with that is, I need to uninstall it after 
it completes during the MDT process. Leaving DCU on a system, specifically a 
laptop will be problematic when we start bitlocking laptops.

I have only been testing in North America for about a week, so if this works in 
Asia and Europe it will be one solution to fit all. If this doesn’t pan out, 
then I can fall back to the great ideas you guys  have found. FYI: I asked Dell 
if the DCU will download CAB files from that region or come back to the US for 
the drivers. The answer was that DCU is the same application globally. It has 
logic built in to determine the closest source to retrieve the CAB files.

If anyone wants / needs information of how to get DCU to work in MDT just let 
me know.

Thanks for sharing guys.

Best Regards,

Dave Landry

+1 to Arif's recommendation.

I don't import the entire CAB anymore for Dell laptops.  Instead, I unzip it 
and import chipset, audio, storage and LAN, then image and see what else is 
missing.  I only import the missing drivers after that.

I'm not sure what's happening with their CAB files but I've seen this issue as 
well.

If you extract cab drivers from dell, remove CV folder under Security folder,

Install controlVault as application driver (Dell_CV_SW_Update_x64_7250.exe /S

Thanks

I have 7480s that deploy fine with MDT.  I do not use the control vault driver 
so this would make sense.

TL;DR: MDT LiteTouch can’t import the Dell ControlVault Driver.

Details:

I let Dell and MSFT know about my findings.

Hi All,

Just curious what everyone / anyone has done with the Dell driver problem they 
have with the new Latitude XX80 series laptops. I imported their CAB files into 
MDT and got error. Didn’t know how bad so I imaged a 7280 or 5480 and lots of 
stuff came up missing. I called Dell and they informed me that they are having 
problems with drivers not importing into MDT and then everything after that 
fails to import. Control Vault drivers was the worst. But each model is 
different.

They recommended using Dell Command Update. So I got that into MDT and it runs 
first.. but I am still missing touchpad drivers for the 5480, and who knows 
what else I haven’t discovered yet.

They actually pulled all their Windows 7 and Windows 10 drivers off their 
website a few weeks ago. I thought a server went down … but it wasn’t the 
server.

Has anyone else seen the driver issues at Dell? What is everyone else doing to 
resolve this?

Best Regards,

Dave Landry
