Idea: Could that tool be used to have KiXforms installed? Interesting possibility.

  • Ability to work with a scenario in which non-administrators can install administrator-authorized driver packages.






Need to review the details of this further. Could possibly be quite useful.

Haven't looked into this myslef before, but having skimmed through the documentation, it seems the idea is to package the drivers as MSI packages, and publish them in AD. Or did I miss something?

A pretty neat way of "authorizing" drivers - publishing them in AD, although a bit tideous for smaller companies I guess.

If that's all it does then that is just cheating. Can take any normal MSI script and install as non admin with AD.

yeah, with publishing you can, but not many drivers come in MSI format unfortunately... since MS only recommends the manufacturers WDM, and no specific packaging.

Yeah, but I was thinking maybe the tool could be used for other purposes as well. I don't push out hardware drivers in script too often
