MACHINE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
There are no machine-specific items to configure for Windows 2000 Professional.
INSTALLING PLUG AND PLAY DRIVERS
Since Windows 2000 supports Plug and Play detection, it is relatively easy to install third party
drivers for non-boot devices (Audio, Video, NIC, Chipset, etc.) Refer to the Driver Signing Policy
in Appendix B for more information on how the Windows 2000 operating system selects the
optimal driver for any Plug and Play device.
Steps for integrating Plug and Play Devices
1. In the \$OEM$ subfolder of the distribution share, create a folder (and/or subfolders) for any
Plug and Play drivers and their associated files (catalog, INF and drivers), for example:
\\servername\sharename\I386\$oem$\$1\PnPDrvrs
NOTE: The PnPDrvrs folder can be renamed to reference the specific devices being installed. For
example, you could create a \Drivers\NIC folder for network card drivers and a \Drivers\AUDIO
for sound card drivers.
2. Modify the UNATTEND.TXT file by adding an OEMPNPDRIVERSPATH parameter to
point to the driver files. Using the example from above the following entry would need to be
created:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = Yes
OemPnPDriversPath = “PnPDrvrs\Nic;PnPDrvrs\Audio"
NOTE: Setup will add the following in the registry:
%systemdrive% to each of the folder names
path for each subfolder to the Plug and Play device search path
3. Set the OemPreinstall=YES parameter in the [Unattended] section of the UNATTEND.TXT.
INTEGRATING VIDEO DRIVERS
General Process
1. Download each required SoftPAQ to its own directory. For SoftPAQs containing Plug and
Play drivers, execute the SoftPAQ with the –flat switch as a command line option. This will
extract the SoftPAQ out into a flat (single) directory.
2. Copy all of the driver files (INF, CAT and SYS files) from the flat directory into the
distribution share directory (i.e. \\servername\sharename\I386\$oem$\$1\PnPDrvrs).
3. Refer to the Installing Plug and Play Drivers section above to complete the setup for the
driver.
