Adding drivers to a K-Image
Is it possible to add drivers to a windows 7 k-image once it's captured? I ran a sysprep with the generalize option and now when the machine boots it does not have NIC drivers. I think I could deploy it to a machine, add the driver to the driver store and then resysprep but that seems like it will be a pain for every new model we get.
Thanks
Thanks

To answer your question - Yes.
Most of my Windows 7 images that I've syspreped and captured required the drivers to be loaded again after the deployed system was booted. The drivers are still there they just didn't get loaded. For example - wireless driver on laptop is loaded and wireless is working great. I sysprep the image, capture it, deploy it to exact same hardware and the wireless does not work after boot. I update the driver and point it to the where the driver is and it works.
I think sysprep pulls the required info out but not sure.
