Configure the Device Driver Properties General Tab

The device driver properties stored on the General tab are mostly configured when you run the Import Device Drivers Wizard. Update the device driver properties on the General tab through the driver_name Properties dialog box (where driver_name is the name of the device driver in the Deployment Workbench).

To modify existing device drivers properties on the General tab

1. Click Start, and then point to All Programs. Point to Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, and then click Deployment Workbench.

2. In the Deployment Workbench console tree, go to Deployment Workbench/Deployment Shares/deployment_share/Out-of-Box Drivers (where deployment_share is the name of the deployment share in which you will configure the device driver).

3. In the details pane, click driver_name (where driver_name is the name of the device driver you want to configure).

4. In the Actions pane, click Properties.

The driver_name Properties dialog box opens (where driver_name is the name of the device driver you want to configure).

5. On the General tab, configure the settings listed in Table 50 based on the requirements of your organization, and then click OK.
