Fixing Driver Injection Failures During Windows 11 Deployment in SCCM OSD

Explore Our MECM / SCCM Training →

Introduction

Organizing driver packages by hardware model is essential for accurate driver injection during SCCM OSD task sequences. In this post, we’ll walk through common driver injection failure errors, their log locations, and how to use Auto Apply Drivers versus Apply Driver Package steps effectively.

How SCCM Driver Injection Works

During OSD task sequences, SCCM uses the SetupACT.log file to track driver installation. If you encounter errors during driver injection, review this log for more information.

Common Driver Injection Failure Errors and Log Locations

When drivers fail to inject, error messages are displayed in the smsts.log file. Common errors include ‘The specified module could not be found’ or ‘The driver package is not applicable.’

Organizing Driver Packages by Model for Accurate Injection

To ensure accurate driver injection, organize your driver packages by hardware model and use WMI conditions to apply the correct drivers. Test on a single target model before broad deployment.

Using Auto Apply Drivers vs Apply Driver Package Steps

Auto Apply Drivers can be useful for quick deployment, but using Apply Driver Package steps with model-based WMI conditions provides more precise control over driver installation.

Conclusion

By organizing driver packages by hardware model and employing accurate WMI conditions, you’ll minimize driver injection failures during your SCCM OSD Windows 11 deployments. For comprehensive training on Microsoft Intune, visit our Microsoft Intune Training page.
