Device Driver Install UAC Prompt After User First Logon
Afternoon All.... So the situation is this... We successfully deploy our captured image of W7 Entperise through our Task sequence which does the usual - installs system specific drivers, core applications, renames the local admin acocunt and joins the system to the domain.. When the user logs onto the system for first time they presnted with a prompt to install the audio device driver, UAC kicks and they are unable install, thus being presented with this at each logon. I have confirmed that the offending device driver is in the driver package associated to the system.. has anyone-else come across this, if so how did you resolve. Thanks in advance Richard. .

Hi, It has been a known issue with for instance Nvidia drivers, check out this thread at Dell techCenter:http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/f/4448/t/19415109.aspx Regards, Jrgen-- My System Center blog ccmexec.com -- Twitter @ccmexec

We experienced the same thing with an ATI driver. We had to upgrade to this driver so that ie9 GPU rendering would work without killing tabs. A workaround was just to have the technician that is building the machine authenticate to the UAC prompt. It only happens one per system not per user.

Hi Guy's thanks for your responses... I'm going to try the "Bad Driver" Installation method instead of the Driver Package... I will post my findings.. Thanks again. Richard.

We hit the same issue with a number of drivers and resolved it by running a vbscript which searches through the registry for ConfigFlags values set to 0x00020000 or 0x0001000 and resets them to 0. It means we just run this one action and it deals with any drivers (now or in the future) that cause this issue. I have pasted the script below, it is based on the MDT framework so uses ztiutility.vbs. If you don't use the MDT integration with ConfigMgr then you can edit the script to create your own .vbs. Hope it helps. Mark. <job id="IncludeExample"> <script language="VBScript" src="ZTIUtility.vbs"/> <script language="VBScript"> ' //*************************************************************************** ' // ***** Script Header ***** ' // ' // File: ZTIResetConfigFlags.wsf ' // ' // Purpose: Search for driver ConfligFlag values containing 0x00020000 or 0x0001000 and reset to 0 ' // Prevents UAC prompt at first logon for standard users ' // ' // Usage: cscript ZTIResetConfigFlags.wsf ' // ' // ' // ***** End Header ***** ' //*************************************************************************** '//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- '// '// Global constant and variable declarations '// '//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dim iRetVal '//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- '// End declarations '//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- '//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- '// Main routine '//---------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Error Resume Next iRetVal = ZTIProcess ProcessResults iRetVal On Error Goto 0 '//--------------------------------------------------------------------------- '// '// Function: ZTIProcess() '// '// Input: None '// '// Return: Success - 0 '// Failure - non-zero '// '// Purpose: Perform main ZTI processing '// '//--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Function ZTIProcess() Dim strOriginalKeyPath strOriginalKeyPath = "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum" FindKeyValue(strOriginalKeyPath) iRetVal = Success ZTIProcess = iRetVal End Function Function FindKeyValue(strKeyPath) Dim strComputer Dim arrSubKeys Dim errorCheck Dim strNewKeyPath Dim arrValueNames Dim strValueName Dim oReg Dim subKey Dim dwValue Dim arrValueTypes Dim i Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002 const REG_SZ = 1 const REG_EXPAND_SZ = 2 const REG_BINARY = 3 const REG_DWORD = 4 const REG_MULTI_SZ = 7 strComputer = "."

Hey Mark/Richard, How should I setup the step in my task sequence to get this working? I dont have MDT integrated with SCCM OSD by the way. Would I copy the above script, save to a .wsf file and call that? When I use MDT I do not get this prompte but if I use OSD to build a machine with the exact same .wim I do get the prompt when the first user logs in. Thanks, Dexter
