SUMMARY
The LoadOrderGroup property is not required for the Microsoft Windows 2000 intermediate drivers. Intermediate drivers are root enumerated virtual devices on Windows 2000 and are not affected by the LoadOrderGroup property.



MORE INFORMATION
You do not need to set the LoadOrderGroup property on Windows 2000. Microsoft has verified that setting the LoadOrderGroup to TDI on the miniport portion of an intermediate driver can prevent the loading of user mode services that depend on the group TDI_PNP.
