Thanks for your help... wasn't sure how I was going to rebuild my deployment point ... but I figured out a trick I think:
· Make a copy of old deployment · Delete drivers.xml from copy deployment · Open old deployment and copy deployment in mdt · Copy+paste drivers from old deployment to copy deployment · Close mdt · Copy drivers.xml from copy deployment to old deployment. · Delete Out-of-Box Drivers folder from old deployment · Copy Out-of-Box Drivers folder from copy deployment to old deployment · Go back into mdt and rebuild old deployment boot media Vioila! This way its more copy and pasting and less restructuring and rebuilding Image is rebuilding as we speak, I imagine this wouldn't work as well if my deployment supported say ...a dozen computers [cid:[email protected]] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Niehaus Sent: July 29, 2014 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] Weird MDT error while importing drivers It shouldn't. It's difficult to tell exactly where the error is happening. If it happens any time you import the driver, then I would say e-mail me the driver and I can tell you more. If it's a combination of that driver and your existing deployment share, that's a little more interesting - send me at least the driver INF and the Drivers.xml and DriverGroup.xml files and I'll see if I see anything (well, maybe this evening, need to do a presentation at a conference first :)).

Your driver is bad, and MDT can't parse it. Or... Your MDT control\drivers.xml is corrupted, and MDT can't write to it. Try importing this driver to a *new* deployment share, to see if it's a problem with the driver, then you may need to rebuilt the drivers by copying back and forth between deployment shares.
