![]() ![]() This will store the drivers in our C:\BootCamp directory so that if the end-user has any hardware issues(or some drivers fail to install, which can happen), the drivers can be manually repaired by re-running the setup exe. Fill it out like this: C:\BootCamp\brigadier.exe -install -keep-files -output-dir=C:\BootCamp Next we want to add another Run Command Line step, immediately after, called "Run Brigadier". This will copy all files within the specified folder and create a destination folder called "BootCamp" on the target machine's root drive. Mine looks like this: xcopy.exe "?ployroot%\BootCamp\Brigadier\*.*" "c:\BootCamp" /Q /H /E /I /Y Fill out the Command line field in the Properties pane with an xcopycommand, referencing your folder where Brigadier is stored. Create a "Run Command Line" item inside and name it "Copy Brigadier". I use a BootCamp folder to hold various packages within their own subfolders, like so: ?ployroot%\BootCamp\BrigadierĬreate a new Group/Folder called BootCamp in the State Restore phase of your Task Sequence. I've found that Brigadier works best with MDT when it is copied to the local machine-I've had cases of it not executing properly/failing the Task Sequence when run as an Application or from the network share.ĭownload Brigadier and place it in a folder in the root of your deployment share. ![]() It's even possible to point Brigadier at an internally hosted mirror of Apple's Software Update repositories, hosted with something like Reposado, to reduce the amount of outbound network traffic and increase the speed of driver downloads.įor Windows 7 it may be more efficient to actually download specific bootcamp driver packages and poll model info to install the BC drivers directly with MDT, as that is the fastest way of getting our files onto client machines.įor newer versions of Windows, Apple has shifted from making the BootCamp driver packages directly available from a webpage, and although you can download them with BootCamp Assistant or Brigadier, it's difficult to know which drivers will work for which model.īrigadier automates this for us anyway, so generally going forward, the best solution is to use it in tandem with an internally hosted repository(although it works quite well without, just not quite as speedy). One of the best is using Brigadier, a great tool made by Tim Sutton that automates the download and installation of Apple BootCamp Drivers from Apple's own software repositories.īrigadier polls the local machine for its model info, and grabs the appropriate BootCamp software package, just like BootCamp Assistant on OSX, but in an automate-able fashion that resides entirely in Windows, so there's no need to monkey around with copying drivers to USB keys and then back again. It's during this we can do important customizations of the live OS, and pretty much automate anything that you want, install additional drivers, packages, scripts etc.Īnyway, we're going to be installing BootCamp drivers. If you’re installing Windows for the first time, make sure the Windows installer you’re using is for a full installation (not an upgrade installer).įor full instructions on installing Windows 10 on your Mac, and supported systems for the 64-bit version of Windows 10 jump over to the Apple Support website via the link below.Once we're booted into Windows proper, the computer enters what's known as the State Restore Phase of the Task Sequence. If you don’t have an ISO file, you can use Disk Utility to make one from your Windows installation DVD or USB flash drive. You need an ISO file of the 64-bit version of the Windows 10 installer to install Windows on your Mac. Windows 10 is available from Microsoft as an ISO file, an installation DVD, and a USB flash drive. Boot Camp supports 64-bit versions of Windows 10 when used with a supported Mac. This software is automatically downloaded when you use Boot Camp Assistant. You need support software (drivers) installed with Boot Camp to use Windows 10. If your Mac is older than 2012 then unfortunately the latest Boot Camp software does not support installation of the 64-bit version of Windows 10. Enabling you to install Windows 10 on supported Macs that already have OS X Yosemite installed. ![]() Will be pleased to know that Apple has today made new Windows 10 Boot Camp drivers available for certain Mac systems. ![]() Mac users that have been patiently waiting for Apple to released a new version of their Boot Camp software with drivers to support the recently launched Microsoft Windows 10 operating system. ![]()
