nVidia 4200M not installing in WDS

I've extracted the cab and added the drivers to WDS (on a Server 2k8 R2). After deploying an x86 Windows 7 Enterprise to an E6520 I still have to manually install the nVidia Driver. All other drivers seem to install via WDS. Any one else having this issue?

I did notice in the extracted CAB file that in the nvidia Display.Driver folder that all the *.dll files are named *.dl_. Don't know if it's related or not.

I think Dell are saynig that there's an issue with the NVidia driver - so Im seeing the same thing. The page says they're waiting for an update from NVidia.

Correct, we're working with NVidia now to address the issue with their driver not working with deployment tools like ConfigMgr, MDT, WDS, etc.

I'll update the thread when an updated driver is available.

I've also noticed this with XP x86 too for both the E6520 and E6420.

Yes, both the E6520 and E6420 can be ordered with the NVS 4200M card. Nvidia is still working on the issue.

Until nVidia can get this sorted out it's easiest just to make a Software Package for the driver and use the Setup.exe /s /noreboot switches to install it during your deployment.

No luck here. Drivers still are not installing for me through WDS.
