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?
