Good Morning.
I'm having trouble deploying the new Intel Series 8 USB Drivers to our new Dell Latitude 3340 and Latitude 3440 laptops with WDS.
We're on Server 2008 R2, using WDS. We're deploying only Windows 7 64bit.
Everything was working fine with the Intel USB 3.0 Series 7 drivers. I have a separate driver group created for USB 3.0 drivers, with a filter set to install all drivers in the group. This seemed to work great, with our Latitude 3330s and 5430s.
When I add the Intel USB 3.0 Series 8 drivers, for the Latitude 3340 specifically, The drivers deploy correctly, and work fine there. The problem occurs on the older laptops. When imaging them, (after the new drivers were added) the 3330s won't complete setup; they show a BSOD, and start a reboot loop.
From doing a little research, it looks like the iusb3hub.sys will load for either USB 3.0 series 7 or 8, but doesn't work with the series 7 chipset. This seems to cause the BSOD.
Our workaround has been to remove the USB Series 8 drivers from WDS, and install them manually on the newer laptops, but my supervisor was wanting the problem fixed.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
-Ricky
