Tag >> Drivers

With ConfigMgr advanced driver management is possible for all kind of devices. Best practice for this is creating driver packages for all different devices, and put them in the Task Sequence used for deployment. With WMI queries you can decide then which driver package will be used on different types of devices.


One of the difficult things in deployment is getting all drivers to work. Best practice here is to remove the "auto-apply drivers" in the Task sequence, and put "add driver package" instead. Most of the time when i'm import drivers, i give them a tag-name for the model. In that way you can easely update or remove a model later. There is also an option for creating folders in it. Bad thing is you can't import a driver multiple times, so that's not a good idea after all. Also the search folder will be a good idea actually.. In that way the folders are query based, so you can seperate the drivers in different folders.
