Yet another blog post I need to recreate thanks to the vagaries of moving WordPress between hosters 🙁
This code lets you import device drivers into Configuration Manager, as per the steps laid out in Chapter 11 of Learn ConfigMgr 2012 in a Month of Lunches.
You can also download the code directly from http://www.jamesbannanit.com/files/manning/CMDriverImport.zip
# Define Configuration Manager variables

Hi James,
Probably changed in R2, Needed to add -PackageSourceType to create the driver package. Also code to to load the ConfigMgr PSDrive.
import-module ($Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Substring(0,$Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH.Length-5) + ‘\ConfigurationManager.psd1’)
$PSD = Get-PSDrive -PSProvider CMSite
# 1.0 Create Driver Package
CD “$($PSD):”
New-CMDriverPackage -Name $DriverPackageName -Path $DriverPackageSource -PackageSourceType StorageDirect -Verbose
