Is the driver signed? If not, the system installer will try to show a dialog
box and will fail.

BTW you can use devcon to install only non-Pnp ( NT legacy ) drivers

What are you talking about, devcon is for PNP drivers? The problem here is
some security Microsoft put in to protect against attacks over the network
that try to add a driver. This has also created a problem for managing
headless servers, if you don't get the network card stuff right on the first
try and don't have a way to hookup a KVM you have to reinstall the OS to fix
things.

Mine is a pci device (bus driver), but it gets installed when executing from
the command prompt of the local host. but it fails when being executed
through telnet. i didnt have my drivers digitally signed. while trying to
executing through telnet, it fails and the error code shows that it fails
becos of no valid trust provider ( it specifically asked for .cat file) . but
the same works when executed through telnet, why doesnt it post the same
problem then (it didnt ask for cat file)? why is the behavior different when
executed locally and remotely through telnet?
