I had to have one of our SMS guys create some SMS packages to install the applications for some Dell driver programs. Mostly they just had to package them, and toss in the "setup.exe /s" switch command to get it to install silently. I then set up a Role for that particular model and told it what SMS package to install. Seems to be working most of them time (still fighting some video drivers that don't want to install corectly). You might also check to make sure the INF driver files are being stashed in C:\Drivers. Oh, and one other option is to use the $OEM$ stuff to populate the drivers to all your machines so that they're available (and hope they install correctly). Oh, and I sometimes mess with the "Load and unload device drivers" group policy setting, so that might help you out too (not sure of your environment). http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326473 Honestly, I've had to do this for more and more drivers, so I'm thinking about revisiting some things when I get the chance (I shouldn't have to install half my drivers for ModelX this way!)...
