The Add-WdsDriverPackage cmdlet adds an existing driver package to a driver group or injects a driver package into a boot image. Use the Import-WdsDriverPackage cmdlet to import driver packages into the Windows Deployment Services driver store. Specify a driver package by its unique name or ID.
To add a driver package to a driver group, specify the group name. Use the Remove-WdsDriverPackage to remove a drive package from a group.
To insert a driver package into a boot image, specify the image name and architecture. If the image name and architecture do not uniquely identify the boot image, specify the boot image file. After you insert a driver package into a boot image, Windows Deployment Services cannot remove the driver package.
PS C:\> Add-WdsDriverPackage -Id 32d78628-07fb-4e18-adc4-f0ecf8b41bbe -GroupName "Drivers for Fabrikam Devices"
This command adds a driver package to the group named Drivers for Fabrikam Devices. The command specifies the ID of the driver package.
PS C:\>Add-WdsDriverPackage -GroupName "Drivers for Fabrikam Devices" -Name "Fabrikam Device Driver (x64)"
This command adds a driver package to the group named Drivers for Fabrikam Devices. The command specifies Fabrikam Device Driver (x64) as the name of the driver package.
PS C:\>Add-WdsDriverPackage -Architecture X64 -Id 32d78628-07fb-4e18-adc4-f0ecf8b41bbe -ImageName "Contoso general setup (x64)"
This command injects the driver package into the boot image named Contoso general setup (x64). The command specifies the ID of the driver package.
PS C:\>Add-WdsDriverPackage -Architecture X64 -ImageName "Contoso general setup (x64)" -Name "Fabrikam Device Driver (x64)"
This command injects the driver package into the boot image named Contoso general setup (x64). The command specifies Fabrikam Device Driver (x64) as the name of the driver package.
Specifies an architecture. This is the architecture of the image. In order to insert a driver into a boot image, you must specify an architecture. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
- Arm
- Ia64
- X64
- X86
Type: | Architecture |
Accepted values: | X86, Ia64, X64, Arm |

Runs the cmdlet as a background job.
Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job
cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0
is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
