W'hen I am running a silent install for some of the drivers, not all, just certain models. The windows hardware wizard stops my deployment. If I click cancel on the hardware wizard the installation continues. Any way to bypass this? Or disable the wizard temporarily?

I used an AutoHotKey script to get past some of this type of stuff. I have my script kicked off with the sysprep.inf file, and then my script kicks off the LiteTouch process directly.  Basically, it will keep running, and if it doesn't see any new hardware screens for 60 seconds, it will break the loop and load the MDT process.

 


 DriverTimer = 0

Loop
{
    IfWinExist, Found New Hardware Wizard, Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard
    {
        WinActivate
        sleep 200
        send !n
        sleep 2000
        DriverTimer = 0
    }
    
    IfWinExist, Found New Hardware Wizard, This driver is not digitally signed!
    {
        WinActivate
        sleep 200
        send !n
        DriverTimer = 0
    }
    
    IfWinExist, Files Needed
    {
        WinActivate
        sleep 200
        send {ESCAPE}
        continue
        DriverTimer = 0
    }
    
    IfWinExist, Hardware Installation, The software you are installing for this hardware
    {
        WinActivate
        send !c
        DriverTimer = 0
    }
    
    IfWinExist, Found New Hardware Wizard, Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard
    {
        WinActivate
        sleep 200
        send {enter}
        DriverTimer = 0
    }

    IfWinExist, Found New Hardware Wizard, Cannot Install this Hardware
    {
        WinActivate
        sleep 200
        send {enter}
        DriverTimer = 0
    }
    
    IfWinExist, System Settings Change, Windows has finished installing new devices
    {
        WinActivate
        sleep 200
        send !n
        DriverTimer = 0
    }

    sleep 1000
    DriverTimer := DriverTimer + 1
        
    If DriverTimer > 60
    {
        Break
    }
}

Run cscript.exe c:\MININT\Scripts\LiteTouch.wsf /start
