Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to solve very strange problem without any traces of sucessfull
solution throught web (google, technet, ect.).

On all our new computers (cloned via Sysprep) automatic driver installation
is not working. When I plug new USB device (mouse, USB storage device) to the
computer, driver is not installed automatically, but stays as Unknown device
in device manager. But by simply clicking on Update driver (with update
driver automatically option) device is sucessfully recognized and installed
as f.e. mass storage device. But the same problem persists with installing
logical volume of this storage device or mouse...

Plug and play service is running, Driver signing policy is set to Warn (as
on the other computers), Inf directory is set in registry under
(HKLM\SW\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion ...)

So I need to set system to automatically look for drivers after new device
is found.

Any ideas will be appreciated,
Thanks!

Jan

Ok, I just solved it!

The most vain mistake I ever made. After cloning computer via sysprep, I
just simply forget it in factory mode, so PNP wizzard was disabled. After
rerunning sysprep with reseal the automatic driver installation is working
flawlessly.
