# MDT DriverPacks

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature will be completed and released in mid April, as well as a Driverless MDT using OSDCloud's DriverPacks
{% endhint %}

**Will you still use Out-of-box-Drivers when you can use Driver Packs in MDT?**

As OSDCloud has demonstrated, it is easy to pull Drivers from the Cloud, but its also designed to search for the required files locally in the case an of OSDCloud.usb.  I wanted to give you an example of how DriverPacks can replace Out-of-box-Drivers in MDT by using some of the concepts of OSDCloud, like Specialize DriverPacks

{% endcontent-ref %}

## Deployment Share

The Deployment Share should be configured with a DriverPacks directory.  The folder structure doesn't matter at all

## OSD Module

For this to work properly, you will need the OSD Module in WinPE, as well as in the Offline OS BEFORE you restart from WinPE.  I'll work on a new function to copy it to an Offline OS, similar to **`Copy-PSModuleToFolder`**

## Task Sequence

A single Command Line step is needed to get the proper Driver Pack name and search for it in the DriverPacks folder.  In this step, I have the Command line set to the following

```
PowerShell.exe -Command Add-OSDMDTDriverPack
```

This may likely change before it is finalized for release

## Unattend.xml

You will need to add this code to the Specialize pass of your Unattend.xml.  This is what launches the Expand-StagedDriverPack function

```
<RunSynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
    <Order>5</Order>
    <Description>Expand-StagedDriverPack</Description>
    <Path>Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command Expand-StagedDriverPack</Path>
</RunSynchronousCommand>
```

This is how it looks in an MDT Deployment, staged to C:\MININT\Unattend.xml

## Deployment Process

You really shouldn't notice anything different during the MDT Deployment process.  here are some screenshots anyway
