SCCM wont import any drivers

I'm in the process of setting up a new SCCM server and migrating data across from the old one using migration jobs. So far everything has migrated fine, except drivers.

When troubleshooting this, I tried to manually import an Intel Ethernet driver as a test, and even that is failing:

4225d3d2-fd22-4370-8eff-de981e46ba9b-DriverError

The DriverCatalog.log doesn't help much either:

I'm struggling to find out what is causing this. I've checked all the permissions on the network share and database which are all set correcty. I know the permissions are working because other data is migrating without issue.

Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi,

    Thanks very much for your feedback and sharing. We're glad that the issue is gone now. It's appreciated that you could click "Accept Answer" to the helpful reply, this will help other users to search for useful information more quickly. Here's a short summary for the problem.

    Problem/Symptom:

    SCCM failed to migrate drivers, even failed to manually import a driver as a test with the error "An error occurred while importing the selected driver."

    Solution/Workaround:

    The issue is related to SQL Server 2022. To fix it, you have to change the database compatibility by running the below query in SQL Server Management Studio:

    ALTER DATABASE database_name

    Thanks again for your time. Have a nice day!

    Ok, so I did a bit more digging on this and the issue is related to SQL Server 2022.

    To fix it, you have to change the database compatibility by running the below query in SQL Server Management Studio:

    ALTER DATABASE database_name
    SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 150
    

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/alter-database-transact-sql-compatibility-lev...

    Doing this fixed the issue for me.
