Using SCCM standalone media can be a good way to deploy an OS when you have, for example, remote offices with no local distribution point. However, if you use DVD media it can result in several DVDs if you include all the applications and drivers. So I prefer to install the drivers and applications separately after deployment and keep the OS install on one or two DVDs. As we use Dell computers, it’s quite easy to get hold of the driver pack from the Dell website, which you can then install using PnPUnattend. To speed up the process, I wrote a simple batch script that will download the relevant driver pack from Dell and install it.
This process can also be used for non-Dell models, you simply download the drivers you need, extract them, place them in the C:\Drivers folder, add the registry key, and run the PnPUnattend command.
Note: You need to have at least a NIC driver installed before running the script, so you can connect to the internet.
