Drivers & Distribution Points in Config Manager 2007

We've been having problems getting NIC drivers working for a Dell Optiplex 755. We have a driver package for Dell 755s, and the NIC driver is within the package. When we image a 755 it doesn't pick up the driver.

We tried adding the driver to the task sequence...still didn't work.

The distribution point said it was ok, but just as a test we tried updating the distribution point..... and it worked.

It seems that when it comes to drivers there are a large number of people on technet having a very similar problem, so the point seems to be that if you add drivers....manually update your distribution points.

Incidentally, if you have this problem the error your likely to see in the error log is "failed to resolve driver".
