Gee, just looked into the drivers for the HP Elitebook 800 G1 DM

Source package folder goes from 400MB to 1.2GB in the package

 

A single file in the source exists now 152 times in the package.

Amazing that something like that wasn’t caught during basic testing…

 

I have R2SP1 in prod. although no OSD yet, but obviously I need this to be
fixed before deploying clients

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.,
single INF versus scanning a directory for all drivers?)

 

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.

"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.
