SCCM deployment XPS 2720 - Killer N1202 Deployment
I have a couple of these specialty deployments that come up for all in ones like the XPS 2720 that one of our divisions are using for AutoCAD developers. I've imported all the drivers including the aforementioned Killer N1202, yet it doesn't get installed from the driver package. I can manually import the driver from the same folder, and I do confirm the driver is listed in the driver package, and the driver category that I selected.
I even tried silently installing the Qualcomm package, but it also installs the Killer Network package bloatware which we don't need on our image. I even tried a double script that will install and then remove the package (seen in some cases where the driver will stick), but in this case, it takes the driver with it.
I'm open to any suggestions anyone has at this time. This deployment works fine for MDT, but also need to work with SCCM as well.

Thank you for choosing Dell and for using our driver cabs.
We would like to know which driver cab you had used for deployment so that we can look into this issue?
Were you using DCIS to import the cab?
May I know what method you used for silent installation of Killer Wireless?
Did you use DUP or any other utility to do the silent install?
Can you please confirm that you were not able to install the Killer Wireless driver from the Driver pack you had used with SCCM and at the same time you were able to install it with MDT?
What is the error you are getting when you use SCCM for deployment?

Thank you for your response. I resorted to imaging the XPS 2720 through MDT over the weekend which even though they were the same driver profiles on both SCCM and MDT, MDT had no missing drivers while SCCM showed the Killer wireless driver was missing along with the SMBus driver. I had tried several times to import the drivers through SCCM and had the same results even when getting the profile from MDT.
I was asking if a cab could be made for the XPS AIO series as we do get those and ship to our CAD and graphic designers.
I used the Killer's native setup installer with using the -silent switch. I tried to see if there were others such as a driver only install switches, and there were a couple listed in the xml file, but stated that they were decommissioned. I tried a batch file that would run the silent switch to install and then use the GUUID to remove the application, but it took the driver with it.
I have used DCIS to import cabs from other models, but I'm not a big fan of it. Installing the latest 4.0 seems to fail on Windows 8.1 or Server 2012. 3.1 will install, but I have no options to edit categories or a naming scheme prior to importing, so I have to manually rename my driver package and remove a lot of unnecessary categories such as "DRIVERS" an "A06."
