> Michael Niehaus,
Thank you for your directions... Now I have another question related to same directions.... I have few client accounts... Where they have just the 5-6 hardware vendor models only....and I have to do the hardware driver integration.... In this case if I use dism and add drivers package to automate the hardware drivers.....for those 5-6 hardware models.... Am sure I can...but... Do I have any cons in this method of implementation or approach .....
