Create a powershell script to install a usb driver

Question

Hi there, I want to install a driver update by GPO, I didn't find an msi but only an .exe. I've written a first part to install the file, but I'd like to do a test to prevent the .exe file from being reinstalled each time I start up. When I do a get-package, it appears in the list but is not recognized as an application when I do a get-package -Name Controller USb Ethernet. I need some advice please. For example, I tried : if(Get-Package -Name "Control USB GBE Realtek"){ Write-Output "Control USB GBE Realtek software is present on the machine!" } but the command Get-Package -Name "Control USB GBE Realtek" doesn't work. I need a little help please.

Hi Novas Nov,

You may consider creating a scheduled task to run the script in your GPO. Set the task trigger to run only once or select the "Apply once and do not reapply" option in the Common tab.
