SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 - Driverpack bug?

Hello,

we've recently installed SP1 for SCCM 2012 R2 and now I had to create a new Driverpack for HP Z440 Workstation. So I downloaded all current drivers for this Model and Import them like always to SCCM.

First I noticed that it took ages to "Validate Driver Information". But I allready read about that so no big deal just wait. After this was finished I saw the new Import wizzard which now Lists the driver by .INF (see screenshot). I also noticed that there are many INFs for Realtek HD Audio

I continued importing the drivers and assigned them to a new driverpack. The import process also took ages. After it has finisehd I had a look at the Driverpack and couldn't belive how huge the Driverpack is, so I also had a closer look at the driversource.

The Driversource is about 550MB, so thats normal for one Computermodel
The Driverpack after import has about 20GB!!!!

SCCM creates for each .INF file a new Folder in the folder of the Driverpack and copys the whole content of the driver to it.

Example: The sourcefolder of the Realtek HD Audio driver is about 305MB and includes over 60 .INF files. After the Import this is about 19GB. For each .INF SCCM creates a new Folder in the Driverpackfolder and copys the complete source (305MB) to it. So I have 305MB more then 60 times in my Driverpack.

Anyone experience the same?

Johan, looks to be an Admin Console update only so I would imagine it needs to be installed on any machines that have the Admin Console installed.

Anyone else still seeing drastic import times? Especially on 'Validating file permissions and getting driver attributes'. I am now at over 40 minutes importing 300mb worth of drivers.

The package size did drop though, which is the important part.
