In order to be able to carry out the automated assignment of driver packages logically, you need - as already mentioned - the manufacturer and model designation as determined by the Windows Management Instrumentation.įor this purpose, we provide you with the Matrix42 PreOS package HardwareInfo, with which you can determine all the necessary information, so that you can then enter it into the control file with the help of the Matrix42 Driver Wizard. It is no longer necessary to create an entry for each individual model variant. With this adaptation, the entries in the Drivers.json file can be combined. Whereby the model names differ only by different name endings. Some manufacturers offer driver packages for several models. Thus, the driver specified under the model name VMware7 is used, since this has a greater correspondence with the model names read out. Model names in the Drivers.json are VMware7 and VMware If there are multiple model names in the Drivers.json file that match the WMI read model name, the model with the closest match in name is selected. Thus, the driver specified under the model name VMware7 is used, even if the name does not match completely. The model name in the Drivers.json file is VMware7

It is sufficient if the model name read out by WMI starts with the model name in the Drivers.json file. With the DriverIntegration PreOS package as of version 2.13, the model name in the Drivers.json file no longer has to completely match the model name read out by WMI. This information can also be obtained by executing the Matrix42 PreOS package HardwareInfo.

The names for manufacturer and model are not arbitrary, but are as they are read by WinPE at runtime through the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes (gwmi win32_computersystem). Exactly this information is summarized in the Drivers.json file. The mapping takes place via the manufacturer name, the model name of a hardware and the assigned operating system source. \\%EmpirumServer%\Configurator$\Packages\Matrix42\OsPackages\Drivers\Drivers.json The control file can be found on the Empirum server at:
