Windows 10 Logon using smartcard - Missing Driver

Question

I am trying to log in to a domain account using smart card work but was not successful.

I have the following environment setup for the test.

Client Laptop (Lenovo P50)

• Windows 10 Fall Creator
• Windows Update: Up to date
• Installed the smart card middleware
• Using the default smart card reader "Microsoft Usbccid Smartcard Reader (WUDF)"
• Domain Server (Hyper-V VM hosted on the client laptop)

Windows server 2016

• Windows Update: Up to date
• Installed the smart card middleware
• Active Directory Certificate Services
  1. Installed Certificate Authority
  2. Installed Certificate Authority Web Enrollment
  3. Installed Online Responder
• Created the smart card template using the vendor CSP and included the created smart card template to be issue

I have managed to import the certificate into the smart card via web enrollment. However, when I try to login to Windows 10 using the smart card option, I receive the error message "The smart card requires drivers that is not present in the system. Please try another smart card or contact your administrator"

I have also tried using a different machine running Windows 10 Anniversary but I still got the same error message.

Additional information: Before obtaining the latest middleware from the vendor, I was not able to import the certificate to the smart card. I received the same error message (mentioned above) as when I try to log in.

Any idea on how to resolve the login error?

Thanks
