I'm having some trouble with a driver installation using pnputil and I'm hoping that someone here can help me resolve my issue or point me to a better way of achieving my objective of updating the nic to a specific driver.
I've imported the driver into SCCM and created a driver package. the driver package is for the intel nic. I created a program that opens a command prompt and runs a .cmd file . The CMD file has one line using pnputil Pnputil.exe /add-driver "%~dp0e1d68x64.inf" /subdirs /install
This is being deployed to windows 10 computers running 1903. The new driver is 12.18.9.23
If the client computer is running the microsoft driver then the deployment runs as intended and the driver is updated.
If the client is running an older version of the Intel driver - in most of my cases 12.13.17.7 then the application will run , the driver will be displayed in the store but the driver is not updated. It appears that windows is determining that it has the best driver already installed and is not installing the new driver in its place.
I'll gladly offer up any additional information that you may need to help me resolve this.
