That's not really an option for our HII setup, though, I'm afraid..
Using the HII methodology that we have set up, pretty much any base image (*) can be used for any other model of PC that we capture the drivers for using SmartDriver CLI mode.
I suppose in theory, you could do something like this..
1. Create your base image PC with support for all of the MSD you are likely to come up against.
2. Run a small script which edits the registry to look in:
C:\drivers\001
..
c:\drivers\999
3. Create your image file
4. Collect the drivers for PC model 1 using SmartDriver
5. Either run a script or manually rename the folders created to 001 upwards.
6. Document somewhere the range (001-whatever) that PC model 1 uses.
7. Inject these renamed folders into your base image file
For subsequent PCs, repeat steps 5-7, obviously modifying the numbers to suit.
That's about the only way I can think of doing it for multiple models.
However, you're then faced with the issue that if model1 that you do in January and model17 that you do in October have the same sound cards, I'm not sure which version of the driver either model will use - will it (Windows' driver installer) pick the first one it finds, or is it smart enough to go with the most up-to-date one?
Of course, all of this is theory - take it with a massive pinch of salt!
Cheers,
