DriverCollect 3.1.6 for Deployment Server 6.8

You have no idea how much work this just saved us when the bugs get worked out! What is the recommended working directory to start the recurse on for a standard windows xp install?

Also, I keep getting some fileIO errors when I start at the windows root. I've attached the trace.

You should setup "try" "catch" and only catch errors not throw them.

I get multiple errrors depending on where I run the application.

Anyone care to share their DS Job scripts using the new driver collect? This is how mine look now:

Driver Collect:

REM Capture Drivers

REM If syspmsd.inf > 25 bytes, skip Build Mass Storage Device (we only want to do this once, on first run)
FOR %%R IN (\\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\HII\%OS%\syspmsd.inf) DO IF NOT "%%~zR" == "22" GOTO SkipBMSD

MD %temp%\Sysprep

IF "%OS%" == "WIN2K" GOTO SkipBMSD
IF "%OS%" == "WINXP" EXPAND \\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\Sysprep\DotNet\deploy.cab -F:sysprep.exe %temp%\Sysprep
IF "%OS%" == "WIN2003" EXPAND \\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\Sysprep\DotNet\deploy.cab -F:sysprep.exe %temp%\Sysprep

COPY /Y \\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\HII\%OS%\syspmsd.inf %temp%\Sysprep\sysprep.inf

%temp%\Sysprep\sysprep.exe -bmsd

COPY /Y %temp%\Sysprep\sysprep.inf \\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\HII\%OS%\syspmsd.inf

:SkipBMSD

REM Because DriverCollect.exe uses .NET, it must be run from the local drive
COPY /Y \\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\HII\DriverCollect.exe %temp%\DriverCollect.exe
if errorlevel 1 exit 253

REM Run DriverCollect.exe to collect all drivers to \\server\eXpress\Sysprep\Drivers
%temp%\DriverCollect.exe -Src:"C:" -Dst:"\\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\Temp\DriverCollect\%ID%" -mode:simple > \\%DSSERVER%\eXpress\HII\Logs\DriverCollect-%ID%.log
if errorlevel 1 Goto ErrorRunningDC
if errorlevel 0 Goto DCSuccess
if errorlevel -1073741515 Goto ErrorNoDotNet

:DCSuccess
REM Cleanup
DEL %temp%\DriverCollect.exe
DEL %temp%\Sysprep\*.* /Q
RD %temp%\Sysprep
exit 0

:ErrorRunningDC
echo Error: Unable to run DriverCollect.exe
exit 254

:ErrorNoDotNet
echo Error: .Net Framework 1.1 unavailable
exit 255

Driver Sort:
REM Sort Drivers
.\HII\DriverCollect.exe -Src:".\Temp\DriverCollect\%ID%" -Dst:".\HII\%OS%" -mode:full > .\HII\Logs\DriverSort-%ID%.log
if errorlevel 1 Goto ErrorRunningDS
if errorlevel 0 Goto DSSuccess
if errorlevel -1073741515 Goto ErrorNoDotNet

:DSSuccess
exit 0

:ErrorRunningDS
echo Error: Unable to run DriverCollect.exe
exit 254

:ErrorNoDotNet
echo Error: .Net Framework 1.1 unavailable
exit 255

Seems like it is working however, the Driver Sort moved my files from the .\temp\DriverCollect\%ID% to .\HII\WINXP folder.

The .\temp\DriverCollect\%ID% folder has 0 through 30 subdirectories and the .\HII\WINXP folder now has some strange NTxxx type folders with a drivers subdirectory under each....

Does this sound correct?

Thanks,
Kevin
