Hi
I need to be able to deploy a msi with drivers for a camera. The problem is
the drivers are unsigned and users do not have permissions to install
hardware.
Is there anyway to certify them myself by creating a organisation
certificate or can group policy actaully disable to dialog effectively as I
have had no success with the GP settings I have used so far.
We are running 2000 servers with XP SP1.

Cheers
 
No, with XP there is no (official) way to bypass signing by MS.
Signing requirements for win2k become more relaxed - AFAIK
often you can get signature for win2k driver almost automatically if
same driver successfully passes certification for XP/2003.
If your camera driver is a modified OEM version, the OEM may be able
to help you to receive the signature based on their own certified driver.
Otherwise - there should be some firms that do HCT and certification;
try to find them to get quick push thru the process.
