The following tables supply basic information about the samples that are included in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). For more information about each tool, read the documentation that describes the tool. The tables are organized according to the type of drivers to which the samples apply.
In conformance with Microsoft support policy, Microsoft is removing Microsoft Windows 2000 from its list of supported installation platforms for the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). The WDK continues to provide a Windows 2000 build environment for the development of drivers targeting Windows 2000.
Windows 2000 moved from Mainstream to Extended Support in June 2005 (as defined in the Microsoft Support Lifecycle policy available at
). The Extended Support phase includes security updates and paid support only; it does not provide support for design changes or new product features. As a result, build tools and platform or library support is limited to Windows XP SP2 and later versions of Windows.
The complete list of install-on platforms for the WDK consists of: Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Vista. The complete list of build-for platforms consists of: Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Vista.
Customers that require Windows 2000 as an installation platform can download the Windows Server 2003 SP1 Driver Development Kit (DDK) at no cost from the Windows Hardware Developer Central Web site at

| Sample NDIS 6.0 Filter Driver | Windows Vista
| Windows Server 2008
Windows Vista
| No | No | The Ndislwf sample is currently a do-nothing pass-through NDIS 6 filter driver that demonstrates the basic principles of an NDIS 6.0 Filter driver. The sample replaces the NDIS 5 Sample Intermediate Driver (Passthru driver). This driver exposes a virtual device to handle IOCTLs from user applications.
Although the filter driver is a modifying filter driver, the filter driver currently does not modify the send data and it only re-packages and sends down all requests and sends submitted requests to one of the filter modules in this filter driver. The filter driver can be modified to change the data before passing it along or generate new send data and send it down. For example, it could encrypt or compress outgoing and decrypt or decompress incoming data. Ndislwf also indicates up all received data and status indications that it receives. It can be modified to change the data or status indications before indicating it up, and also the filter driver can generate status indications and receive data. Note This sample provides an example of minimal driver intended for education purposes. The driver and its sample test programs are not intended for use in a production environment. |
| Sample NDIS-WDM Miniport Driver | Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003
| Windows Server 2008
Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003
| No | No | The Sample NDIS-WDM Miniport Driver illustrates the functionality of an NDIS-WDM miniport driver. An NDIS-WDM driver exposes NDIS miniport interface at its upper edge and uses IRPs to interact with other WDM drivers such as USB, IEEE 1394, and serial at its lower edge. Unlike NDIS miniport drivers, which can call only NDIS functions, an NDIS-WDM driver can call both NDIS and non-NDIS functions. However, whenever possible, the miniport driver should call NDIS functions. For example, a miniport driver that controls devices on either Universal Serial Bus (USB) or IEEE 1394 (firewire) buses must expose a standard NDIS miniport driver interface at its upper edge and use the class interface for the particular bus at its lower edge. Such a miniport driver communicates with devices that are attached to the bus by sending I/O request packets (IRPs) to the bus. |

The client part of the sample is a simple application that registers for Async print notifications and acts as the listener. The server part of the sample opens a notification channel and acts as the sender. The server part of the sample is compiled as a library to be linked to a port monitor or a print processor. Note This sample has not been thoroughly tested and is provided here only as a proof of concept. |
| Auto-Configuration Samples | Windows Vista
| Windows Vista
| No | No | Auto-configuration adjusts the settings of a print queue according to the installable features of a device, rather than the driver's default settings.

| No | Yes | Microsoft provides a useful tool for checking INF file structure and syntax called ChkINF. ChkINF is a Perl script that checks the structure and syntax of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 driver INF files. Results are presented in HTML format and include a list of the errors and warnings that are detected in each INF file, with each error and warning shown next to the errant INF file entry. ChkINF is available in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) in the tools\chkinf directory. This tool is also included in the Hardware Compatibility Test (HCT) Kits used for Designed for Windows Logo testing. Note ChkINF will produce a number of warnings that are related to unreferenced sections in the INFs when run on the sample INFs. This behavior is expected because they all contain install sections for more than one processor architecture. Please refer to the ChkINF documentation for more information. |

It handles device-independent tape requests and calls the tape miniclass driver routines to process device-specific functions. Class driver splits transfer requests, when necessary, to fit the maximum transfer size for the underlying host bus adapter. It also provides device-independent, tape-specific error handling and calls the tape miniclass driver's device-specific error handling routines. No INF file is needed to install this driver. This driver is installed when a tape miniclass driver is installed. |
| Tape INF Samples | Windows Vista
| Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP
| No | Yes | Microsoft provides a useful tool for checking INF file structure and syntax called ChkINF. ChkINF is a Perl script that checks the structure and syntax of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 driver INF files. Results are presented in HTML format and include a list of the errors and warnings that are detected in each INF file, with each error and warning shown next to the errant INF file entry. ChkINF is available in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) in the tools\chkinf directory. This tool is also included in the Hardware Compatibility Test (HCT) Kits used for Designed for Windows Logo testing. Note ChkINF will produce a number of warnings that are related to unreferenced sections in the INFs when run on the sample INFs. This behavior is expected because they all contain install sections for more than one processor architecture. Please refer to the ChkINF documentation for more information. |

| No | No | The Event sample is a legacy style (non-WDM) sample that demonstrates two different ways that a Microsoft Windows NT kernel-mode driver can notify an application about a hardware event. One is an event-based method and the other is an IRP-based method. Because the sample driver is not talking to any real hardware, it uses a timer DPC to simulate hardware events. The test application informs the driver whether it wants to be notified by signaling an event or by completing the pending IRP and also gives a relative time at which the DPC timer has to fire. |

| i8042 Sample Port Driver | Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP
Windows 2000
| Windows Vista
Windows Server 2003
Windows XP
Windows 2000
| No | Yes | The i8042 (PS/2) sample device driver implements the Microsoft Windows 2000–style keyboard and mouse ports. This style differs from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 because the device object is in the same driver stack as the class driver itself (either mouclass or kbdclass), instead of writing the device object's name to the registry and relying on the class driver to load after it and look at these names. Almost all of the other interactions with the class driver are the same. The code works on Windows 2000 or later platforms. This code will not work on previous versions of Windows NT because of support for Plug and Play (PnP), power, and the new class drivers. The i8042 driver supports PnP with respect to the PnP IRP, but the driver does not perform device detection or support hot plugging. As for power, this driver supports low power states by reinitializing the devices when normal power is resumed. |
