Sysprep "-pnp" Switch May Not Install Non-Native Signed DriversArticle ID: 260319 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q260319 SYMPTOMS
If there is a device (such as a network adapter, video adapter, or audio card) that is installed during the original installation (that is, during the building of the image), Windows seems to retain the .inf file that is used to install the device. Typically, this is the native driver/.inf file. Using the Sysprep tool on the image does not seem to clear out the information as it is supposed to. When you attempt the installation of an updated driver (signed or test-signed) by using the OEMPnPDriversPath entry in the Sysprep.inf file, Windows defaults to the original .inf file that it used to install the device the first time.
