When trying to add 32bit drivers for a HP Laserjet 4250 on a 64bit machine I go the following error

“The specified location does not contain the driver HP LaserJect 2200 Series PCL 6 for the requested processor architecture”.

It seems the HP Universal Print Driver just contains “HP Universal Print Driver PCL6″ as the printer name in the INF file. Easy fix? Just rename HP Universal Print Driver PCL6 to whatever your printer is called in the INF file.

I’ve been a bit confused recently why my apply windows update step in my OSD task wasn’t working. Found the following:-

Reason: The system you are deploying the image to needs to be a member of a collection that has the software updates advertised to it.

Solution: Create an advertisement for the software updates and apply it to the collection same collection where you have the OSD task sequence advertised.

For instance if you have your OSD Task Sequences advertised to your unknown computers collection, you should also have a software updates advertisement to this same collection.

By doing these steps you will be able to deploy updates successfully during you OSD Task Sequence.

Simply download Windows enabler and start it as system administrator (right click on programs symbol) on the box where you want to copy the local user profile to default profile. Go to the system tray and activate the “windows enabler”. Now the “copy to” button gets enabled once you click on it.

Hint: You need to copy the user profile to the corresponding directory on the file server with a “.V2″ extension, e.g. “\\server\NETLOGON\default user.V2″
