Greetings,
I'm using MDT alone without SCCM.
Does anyone have any working knowledge of utilizing HP's system software manager, Lenovo ThinInstaller, and Dell's Client System Update utilities to apply drivers as a command line in the Postinstall step of the Sequence.
Each of these have their own Driver Repository that can be hosted and managed internally. I.E.
HP SoftPaq Download Manager, Lenovo ThinkVantage Update Retriver, Dell Client Repository Manager
I'm looking at the pros and cons of this vs the time consuming task of creating a elaborate folder structure and importing drivers for each of our 15+ machines, trying to find which ones are universal across a few models, etc.
This is a bit more applicable to Windows XP as Windows 7 Does a lot of this already.
I'm just curious on opinions and experience on this subject.
