The E5420-WinXP-A01.cab extraction to local directory Figure 2.
The above example shows where the E5420-WinXP-A01.cab was extracted to a local directory on the
System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) host machine. The directory itself is available as a UNC
share for access using the SCCM New Driver Package Creation Wizard. The following section walks
through the details of creating a driver package for Configuration Manager Deployment:
1. Extract the Cab to a shared folder on the local server where Configuration Manager is installed.
2. Make sure that the folder is accessible using UNC reference.
3. Right-click Driver Packages in the SCCM Console and select the option to create New Driver
Package.
4. Provide an appropriate name to reflect the contents of driver package. In the example above,
the Driver package would be named as E5420-WinXP-A01 Drivers.
5. In the Driver Package Source, specify the UNC path to the share. In the example above, the
UNC path would be:
\\WIN-C65K8AICUMG.dlci2dotx.com\SMS_SUN\OSD\Lib\Packages\Deployment\Dell\Client\E5420-
WinXP-X86
6. To create a driver package, click OK.
7. Once the driver package is created, make sure that the distribution points are updated for
providing the drivers to the task sequence steps.
