It looks like Tech Preview 2 might resolve the WIN10 driver bug! Hopefully this 
means it's coming soon for SP1.

·         Improvements have been made to the process for importing drivers, 
including active feedback on several user interface screens, and when importing 
Windows 10 applicable drivers

FYI, we've reproduced and identified the issue. I'm talking with sustained 
engineering about getting into a future CU, but nothing committed yet. 
Continuing to work through support is your best course of action right now.

Does anyone have updates on this issue or any other issues that would make one 
hesitant to upgrade in production?

Thank you,
Stephen

"Duplicates" bug

This occurred in my environment when I tried to download the Windows 7 x64 
drivers for the Z230 Workstation from here:

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_Driverpack_Matrix_x64.html

I downloaded the .exe from the page, extracted it, imported the extracted 
driver content into SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 and tried to create a package of JUST 
those newly imported drivers.

When I tried the package creation in this fashion, the driver package source 
ballooned to over 12GB (vs 1 GB of extracted content) before I forcibly stopped 
the process, as I was afraid our site server data drive would run out of space.

The Realtek audio driver was the worst offender (creating multiple copies of 
the 183 MB folder, as there are 50 inf files in it), but it seemed to trip over 
the Intel Chipset driver folders as well.

I deleted the imported drivers and semi-finished driver package for this model 
at that point.

I then went ahead and deleted the Realtek audio driver sources from the 
extracted content and replaced them with previous version of the Realtek audio 
drivers available from HP for that model (which had 1 .inf in the folder 
instead of 50) and re-imported everything.
After that, package creation finished, but the final driver package was about 
3-4 GB (once again, vs. a 1 GB driver source size).

I have imported and created driver packages for other HP models using the 
method above and there's a 1-1 relation in size of the driver source to the 
packages created prior to our SP1 upgrade.

This isn't 100% scientific, but that's pretty much what I was seeing last week.

Does this happen regardless of the method used to import drivers?  (i.e.,

Can you provide a specific example of driver(s) that exhibit the behavior?  We 
can't seem to reproduce the issue in our testing environment where SP1 is 
applied.

As I understood it applies to all new/updated packages after SP1 was installed.

And yeah, I wouldn't put SP1 in production...

Mine increased. All the older drivers and packages are about the same.  I only 
had one new 2012 R2 driver package I have imported since SP1 and it went from 
245 MB to 323 MB.

Is this for every driver import or does it only happen under certain conditions?

That's big enough to stay away from SP1, I'd say.

Can confirm, MS is aware. We haven't upgraded to SP1 ourselves, but I know 
others that have and have tickets opened.

Subject: [mssms] Configuration Manager 2012 R2 SP1 Driver Package "Duplicates" 
bug

I've seen this issue reported on Microsoft Connect and I've read anecdotal 
evidence that Microsoft is supposedly aware of the issue, but I wanted to reach 
out here to see if any can comment more-or-less officially whether or not this 
is a known issue...

Long story short, since updating to R2 SP1, we've found that creating Driver 
Packages via the console causes massive content bloat.

It seems that the process is a causing creation of a duplicate copy of the 
driver source for every .inf file in a driver source folder.

For example, for model of hardware X, the audio driver source content folder 
has 50 .inf files in it.
The folder containing the .inf files is 183 MB.
When I go to create a driver package from this source, ConfigMgr creates 50 
copies of the 183MB source folder when creating the driver package (or 
something along these lines).

It caused me a minor freak-out last week when I was trying to create a driver 
package for 1 GB worth of content that ballooned to over 12GB in the "package" 
before I killed the process...

Has anyone else seen this? Is MS aware of this issue?

If you need me to provide more specifics, please let me know and I'll try to 
help out where I can.
