When seeking driver updates, it’s important to know that Windows automatically keeps many drivers up-to-date with Windows Update, which is built into Windows 11. As the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The Safest Way to Update Your Drivers MDT SupportĪlthough primarily designed for use with ConfigMgr, the tool also supports MDT.If your devices already work, a driver update could potentially break something in an unexpected way by making an untested change to your system. Driver matching is then attempted within the contents of this package. When used with the UseDriverFallback switch with our MDM solution, if a suitable model match is not found then a fall-back package which matches the OS being deployed is downloaded. If you also wish to cater for those unknown models in your environment and provide a basic list of generic drivers to attempt a match on, there is also the ability to create a Driver Fallback Package.
This is important when it comes to combining the use of this tool with our Modern Driver & BIOS Management solutions ( see our solutions section). Custom and fallback packagesįor those manufacturers who do not provide direct model XML feeds, you can also use the tool to create custom driver packages based on the same naming schema. Clicking on the Add to Import List adds each of these models for processing and once you click on the Start Download and Import Process button the tool starts the full process to automatically download and package the content.
When you click on the Find Models button, the tool initiates a download of XML content from the selected manufacturer, reads in the XML and displays a full list of models for selection. When the tool is opened, you have the option to select your manufacturer and OS of choice.
The intuitive GUI provides you with a full list of models from the supported manufacturer, allowing you to select one or many models, it also will detect Dell and Lenovo models matched against the WMI models known to ConfigMgr. The Driver Automation Tool is a GUI developed in PowerShell which provides full automation of BIOS and driver downloads, extraction, packaging and distribution with Dell, HP, Lenovo & Microsoft client hardware.
