I wrote a script to import all drivers in a folder into CM 2012 and make
the folder name the category / driver package.  I have the category and
driver stuff all working, but can't get the Import-CMDriver cmdlet to work.
First, I tried to specify a folder instead of an inf file to import but it
errored out.  The documentation here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn151073(v=sc.20).aspx   makes
it sound like I can do that when it says this:

-UncFileLocation<String>

Specifies the network path (UNC) of the device drivers.

To import all the device drivers that are contained in a specific folder,
specify the network path to the device driver folder. For example:
\\servername\folder. To import a specific driver from a folder, specify the
network path (UNC) to the Windows device driver .INF or mass storage
Txtsetup.oem file of the driver.


Anyway, that's just an annoyance. So since it wasn't working I re-wrote the
import driver part to cycle through all inf files in the Driver folder and
individually import them. This kind of works. When I run the Import-Driver
command, it errors out with this error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

However, the driver is created in ConfigMgr with the correct
AdministrativeCategory and all the correct settings but it is not in the
correct Driver Package. So, annoyed with this I decided to run the command
without the Driver Package information in it, save it to a variable, and
then run the Add-CMDriverToDriverPackage command specifying the Driver
Package object and the Driver object. It errors out still with no Driver
Package information and doesn't return an object, so I can't run
Add-CMDrivertodriverpackage...

Any ideas?
Here is the command I'm running:

Import-CMDriver -UNCFileLocation $Driver.FullName -AdministrativeCategory
$Category -DriverPackage $DriverPackage -ImportDuplicateDriverOption
AppendCategory -EnableAndAllowInstall $True
-UpdateDistributionPointsforDriverPackage $True
