DRIVER MANAGEMENT 1.1 KEY STEPS • Identify drivers that match Hardware IDs • Installing, and capturing drivers • Importing drivers, categorising, and creating a driver package • Updating Task Sequences • Identifying missing drivers if necessary. 1.2 IDENTIFYING DRIVERS  The first step in identifying drivers can be timely depending on the hardware vendor.  Vendors provide self-service support pages; it is possible to find the model and specific supported drivers. With the example of Dell computers; it is possible to download all the drivers for a particular model via driver CABs from the community pages.  This does allow you to proceed quickly but the CAB will typically contains extra drivers to cater to all variances of the model. NOTE: do not import the whole CAB into SCCM.  The install and capture procedure will ensure the driver package is a small as possible. http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/2065.dell-command-deploy-driver-p...
