I'm sure it's possible, you can add custom fields to the DB... but I'm not sure 
that would really minimize things, you would still have to create all the if x 
equals y in the database.... But at least it wouldn't be in each TS...

Subject: [MDT-OSD] Variable Driven Driver installs?

Is there a way to make Driver installation in the "Total Control" model be OSD 
variable driven like packages are?

What I mean is, can I use MDTDB or some other method to assign the Driver 
package to a Model and then just have a single "Install Driver Package" line in 
my Task Sequence?

You can install Packages with a base variable, I'm thinking something like that.

Right now, I have something like this... repeated > 100 times.

To fall back to "chaos" if the model being installed is not specifically 
supported by "total control"

What I'd like to do is move all that to the MDT Database and then have two 
things in the TS.

If SUPPORTEDMODEL = TRUE, Install "DRIVERPACKAGE001"
If SUPPORTEDMODEL = FALSE, Auto Apply Drivers

In MDT DB, I would assign SUPPORTEDMODEL and DRIVERPACKAGE

What would it take to add code to inject drivers based on a variable package 
name/GUID?  Are there any community developed add-ins to Task Sequencing?
