I was under the impression that the exe and msi files were NEVER used when the drivers are being added through OSD. Is that not true? I used to go through and remove them but it's just too cumbersome so I don't do that anymore.
Here's one I saw today. I doubt that this 60mb msi is needed. As a matter fact this audio driver is 231 Mb and the entire driver folder for this computer is 835. (it's the 9030 AIO) [cid:[email protected]] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2015 9:13 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [MDT-OSD] RE: Dell Driver CABs for Win10 Dell - Internal Use - Confidential We remove as much as we can, but some of the perceived "junk" is actually used by the INF co-installers and the driver would break if we took it out. If you find clear examples of "junk" that we are leaving in, let me know so we can clean it up.

Q: When will Dell have Win10 driver CABs? Answer: We are getting final drivers now and will release as many Win10 CABs as can be validated in time on 7/29. The remainder will follow when validation can be completed. Q: Will all the drivers be Win10 certified? A: Not initially, we will include the drivers that were validated to work, even if they aren't specifically for Win10. Q: Will there be a WinPE10 CAB? A: Yes, hopefully available on 7/29. Q: I looked at your release schedule page and I don't see anything listed for August? A: CAB development for August is dedicated to Windows 10. Any previously scheduled Win 7/8/8.1 CABs has been deferred until later. Q: I've seen some issues importing Win10 drivers into SCCM 2012 R2 SP1, will the Dell Win10 CABs fix this? A: No, Microsoft is aware of the Win10 driver import issue. Q: How can I get a notification when new CABs are available? A: Go to http://delltechcenter.com/cabs turn on page notifications (bottom right of page) if you want an email when changes are made. You will need to login to enable notifications. Let me know if you have additional questions.
