T460s Fingerprint Windows 7

[Amy_Lenovo]

Dbrons,

If that does not work, I can provide you with the fingerprint driver with improved installer package. Think Engineering believes this package may perform the needed driver upgrade.

Thank you,

[dbrons]

So,


I just make a Win7 x64 Enterprise deployment with SCCM to this computer.

Result is same.
Except for now that I can't find the device in Device Manager.
No Biometrics device's founded.

Lenovo Fingerprint Software is well installed, but as I start it and try to configure the fingerprint, I get the same message as I posted before : "The device is not connected to the computer. Please insert the authentication device."

In Control Panel > Biometric Devices : "Windows did not find any biometric devices on this computer. You might need to attach your device or install device drivers."

I will now use Thinkvantage System Update.
Maybe I will find back the entry about Unkown Device in my Device Manager.

I keep you informed!

Edit:

We use a simple solution to deploy certain driver when using Lenovo type machine & SCCM.

For example, we install only chipset/ethernet/storage/usb  drivers during OSD.

In this case, we install a software package for the Lenovo FingerPrint Software as Lenovo provides.

When the machine is completly installed and ready to be configured for the first Windows boot, we start Lenovo System Update to deploy ALL the last drivers version.

Here's the System Update downloading results:

Critical :

ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup *

Recommended:

Lenovo Communications Utility

Lenovo Power Management Driver *

Thinkpad Power Manager *

Lenovo Solution Center

Intel Wireless LAN Driver *

Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver *

Synaptics UltraNav Driver *

Intel Management Engine 11.0 Software *

Intel Chipset Driver *

Intel HD Graphics Driver *

Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller *

Optional:

ThinkVantage Access Connections

Auto Scroll Utility *

Intel PRO/1000 LAN Adapter Software

* I will install these updates one by one with a restart between every new driver/update installed.

Edit:

After the install of the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller, the "Unknown Device" appears again!

But now it appears in the Type section "Biometric Devices" and not anymore in "Other Device" as I listed in my earlier

post.

I get also (and since the first day I started the installation of this laptop), I get this notification:

New drivers/update appeared after the installing of Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller:

Recommended:

Integrated Camera Driver for Realtek *

Alcor Smart Card Reader Driver *

Intel Bluetooth Driver *

I will install these updates.

[pjorgensen · Accepted solution]

this was my workflow for a successful deployment (simplified):

import sccm driver pack from here.

apply driver package and target to t460s via WMI query.

add package for the fingerprint software in task sequence post setup windows and configuration client step.

add a reboot before task sequence completes.

This SCCM package containts this driver :

Synaptics Metallica Touch Driver MT7FP10W 5.0.62.30

I will try to install it manually...

[pjorgensen]

if you're deploying the fingerprint software in your task sequence, the driver included in the software will be the latest, which is 5.1.311.26. 

the driver from the sccm pack is included to eliminate the yellow bang in device manager, but you'll still need the fingerprint software to utilize the biometric feature in windows 7.  the software isn't necessary in windows 10.

[dbrons]

I can't install manually...

I will again deploy it trough SCCM including this driver.

I suppsoe this is the good one.

I keep you informed tomorrow.

Ok finally I succeeded to install the Biometric device!


I used the solution pjorgensen provides me.

Earlier I used always the SCCM package Lenovo provided.

Our disavantage is to use too much different model type in our enterprise and every SCCM package takes a lot of diskspace on network servers.

And finally, at the first boot of the ThinkVantage System Update, I got all the new driver version... so for me it wasn't necessary to deploy all drivers during OSD...

I succeeded with this behavior for models like L460/L450/L560... but not this time


Thanks a lot!
