There is another way too: You can customize the query. But this wouldn't be
necessary in cases where you are capturing an image. This is the logic from
ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf:
If WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Count > 0 then
UpdateCommand =
WScript.Arguments.Unnamed.Item(0)
Elseif Ucase(oEnvironment.Item("DoCapture")) =
"YES" or Ucase(oEnvironment.Item("DoCapture")) = "PREPARE" then
UpdateCommand = "IsInstalled =
0 and IsHidden = 0 and Type = 'Software'"
Else
UpdateCommand = "IsInstalled =
0 and IsHidden = 0"
End if
So if you're capturing an image, it should only select 'Software' updates, not
'Driver' updates. If you want that behavior in other cases, you can modify the
command line that runs the step to add your own query (without the smart
quotes):
Cscript.exe %ScriptRoot%\ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf "IsInstalled = 0 and IsHidden = 0
and Type = 'Software'"

Hi,
This will help you out:
Set bInstall = False in "Drivers" in ZTIWindowsupdate.wsf in
Deploymentshare\Scripts

Hello,
I am struggling with deploying Windows 10 v1607 (Build 14393.447) using MDT
8443.
The issue I am having is with drivers being downloaded during the Windows
Update steps in the Task Sequence.
I was reading this article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/manage/waas-configure-wufb
and noticed you could set a policy that I understand would skip the drivers
when running Windows Update.
On the machine I am testing this I have the following values configured:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching\SearchOrderConfig
= 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate
= 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection\AllowTelemetry
= 3
But drivers are still being downloaded.
I have also tried pausing the Task Sequence just before the Windows Update step
and then manually run Windows Update. That also download the drivers.
Do you guys have any idea what might be going on and how to prevent drivers
from being downloaded/installed when running Windows Update?
Regards Erik
