Description

The Add-CMDriverToDriverPackage cmdlet adds a device driver to a Configuration Manager driver package.

A driver package contains the content associated with one or more device drivers. Device drivers must to be added to a driver package and copied to a distribution point before Configuration Manager clients can install them.

You can add Windows device drivers that have been imported into the driver catalog to an existing driver package. When a device driver is added to a driver package, Configuration Manager copies the device driver content from the driver source location to the driver package.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Add a driver to a driver package

PS XYZ:\>Add-CMDriverToDriverPackage -DriverName "Adaptec Embedded SCSI HostRAID Controller" -DriverPackageName "DrvPkg01"

This command adds the driver named Adaptec Embedded SCSI HostRAID Controller to the driver package named DrvPkg01.
