Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 1 (SP1) and R2 Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager.

Hello, we've recently installed SP1 for SCCM 2012 R2 and now I had to create a new Driverpack for HP Z440 Workstation. So I downloaded all current drivers for this Model and Import them like always to SCCM. First I noticed that it took ages to 'Validate Driver Information'.

But I allready read about that so no big deal just wait. After this was finished I saw the new Import wizzard which now Lists the driver by.INF (see screenshot). I also noticed that there are many INFs for Realtek HD Audio I continued importing the drivers and assigned them to a new driverpack. The import process also took ages.

After it has finisehd I had a look at the Driverpack and couldn't belive how huge the Driverpack is, so I also had a closer look at the driversource. The Driversource is about 550MB, so thats normal for one Computermodel The Driverpack after import has about 20GB!!!!

SCCM creates for each.INF file a new Folder in the folder of the Driverpack and copys the whole content of the driver to it. Example: The sourcefolder of the Realtek HD Audio driver is about 305MB and includes over 60.INF files. After the Import this is about 19GB. For each.INF SCCM creates a new Folder in the Driverpackfolder and copys the complete source (305MB) to it. So I have 305MB more then 60 times in my Driverpack.

Anyone experience the same? The fix is finally out! FIX: Driver package size increases in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Service Pack 2 When you add new drivers to a driver package by using the Import New Driver wizard, the driver package files are larger than you expect. The content for the driver package may be duplicated multiple times. This causes the package file to be significantly larger than the package in the original source location. Additionally, the process to import the new drivers by using the Import New Driver wizard may take much more time than you expect.

Evening awl, I've been catching up with MDT developments this evening as MDT2012 has been released. I've been reading Johan Arwidmark - I've not read it in ages but it always provides some interesting posts.

Anyhow - for those that use HP machines (us), HP have released driver packs that can be integrated into MDT or SCCM. I'm not sure which model numbers they have in there but we purchase 7700, 7800 and 7900 from John Graham over at @ so hopefully they will be in there. Hopefully this news will be of use to some of you: Regards Gareth.
