Using the DELL Extensions for SCCM i try to import some dell driverpacks. The packs for (Optiplex) 360, 380, 760, 780, 960, 980, E5500 (Latitude), E6400 (latitude), E6500 (Latitude) work fine. But the Exx10-Releases do not. Eg the E6410 (Latitude) fails on distribution with this error:
When i delete the O2Micro OZ776 SCR Driver from the package it deploys successfully. It seems that something is wrong with that driver. Please check this dell
Hello Dell?
I have the same problem. I can't import the Driver pack for E6410 with that device driver:
"Error: Failed to import the following drivers: \\xxxsccm01\Drivers_Source\Latitude E6410\E6410-win7-A04-R292083\E6410\win7\x64\Control Point\R269916\Security Device Driver Pack\Dell PBA Device Driver\pbadrv.inf - The selected file is not a valid Windows device driver."
This one is also broken from the same package: "E6410-win7-A04-R292083":
Error: Failed to import the following drivers:
\\xxxsccm01\Drivers_Source\Latitude E6410\E6410-win7-A04-R292083\E6410\win7\x64\application\R257449\Filter Driver\stdfltn.inf - The selected file is not a valid Windows device driver.
Thanks for the post. I'll send your feedback to the dev team. Workaround: You can get the CABs to successfully import by skipping those drivers since ConfigMgr isn't seeing them as valid.
FYI: We just ran into this same issue with the Desktop and Notebook Win7 Combo CABS. We tried to import the newer files from the 6410 CAB into SCCM and they failed as well.

The best practice for the Combo Cabs is to not import them. Importing them will only make it more difficult to update the driver package when the Combo cabs are updated. I have a video that walks through the process of creating a driver package without importing it.

The pros to this approach are that you make your driver package updates extremely simple (~5 minutes) which will be very helpful as Dell increases the frequency of Driver CAB updates. The only con would be that you do have to import boot critical drivers for use with WinPE, but the WinPE driver CAB takes care of that.
If you choose to import, then you will need to remove the 2 .inf files listed as they are not applicable to Windows, but ConfigMgr tries to process them anyways and fails the import.
