You should also see two sub folders, the first of which is the Driver Cab folder and this is used for downloading the compressed driver package files. In the below example you will see drivers from all three vendors:. In the below screenshot you will see the contents of the other sub folder, that being the Driver Files folder. This is where the driver files are extracted to and installed from later in the script:. For simplicity I have labelled the variable as SystemSKU for all makes, below is an example of the methods used;.
There have been instances however where the SystemSKU value on some Dell machines has not been inserted, so if this occurs the script will fall back to attempting a match based on the model name;.
My demo laptop in this instance was enrolled in Intune and immediately installed the drivers as per the script running, below is an extract from the log:. Obviously you can monitor the status of the deployed script through the portal, however the script itself also has extensive logging for troubleshooting purposes. This log will show you all of the key steps undertaken during each step of the script:. The next script is the Install-Drivers. At this point BIOS updates and proxies are not catered for.
I can add in the BIOS update feature if its something of interest, as for proxy servers I urge you to play around with the script and find out settings that suit your environment. Driver packages are subject to the vendor providing enterprise ready bundled driver packages for use with SCCM. It is these packages which are extracted in the script. If your model is not listed then please refer to the vendor SCCM pages to cross reference against supported models and OS versions.

Downloading the file which is retrieved by your tool via browser works fine. Any ideas? I am having a problem where the tool is saying it completes successfully but the only file is the flashw Did I miss something? Great Tool Maurice! I finally got it to work, and it solved all my Lenovo issues! Say, when downloading those EXEs i have to click on the Okay button to make sure it expands the files, then your script continues marvelously.
Have you been able to address that need? It would allow me to walk away while the process carries on if so. This only happens with those Lenovo EXEs. Thanks in advanced.
Thanks :D. A fix is coming along for the next build. Great tool. If you are looking to use these downloads through our MDM process, the only alternative is to create a custom driver package based on extracted drivers. Hi Maurice, I expected as much, but thanks for responding. I have an additional question about maintaining the versions of drivers.
Am i correct in believing the cab file files the vendors provide are not updated as frequently as the individual drivers. If this is the case would you recommend creating a custom package with the latest individual drivers. It really depends on the model and its life cycle stage. If the model is new then they tend to keep the driver packages as up to date as possible, having said that though there will be times when individual drivers are released separate to their package refresh times.
So to answer the question, if you want to keep the most up to date driver packages possible go with the custom package. Note that you could simply replace driver folders within the manufacturer package as an alternative also, i. Even having them in the same location as the drivers would be good as well.
I use a network share for storing all the data but would the initial download increase performance if we were able to select a local drive or local folder and then relocate everything to the network? Thanks a lot for all your effort on this tool and making public… Questions: — It seems that not all drivers from this model are current.
The driver packages are the responsibility of the vendor to keep up to date and you will find that as each new product comes out, support for older models like the T will begin to decline. This is why I have added in the ability to create custom packages in the latest version, of course there is nothing to stop you simply replacing the old drivers within the package source and re-distributing. As for duplicate drivers, personally I would just enable data dedupe on the distribution points to let it take care of any duplication issues but its a personal choice.
Any Tips and tricks are welcome.. Great piece of software! Or will that break functionality? I am looking into using this tool moving forward but its having a issue with proxy I think. Typically we use an autoconfig URL is there a way to still use that with your script? It looks like the proxy was specified twice in the above. You could try specifying the proxy manually in the code. Search for this line:.
Also some Dell products just will not download via the tool. I have inputed the same proxy the computer and SCCM use and it will retrive models etc fine, but when it gets to downloading them it just sits on Establishing connection,. I am working on a major update to the proxy handling in the new release due next week.
Hello Maurice, Fantastic tool! Easy to use! I have downloaded 4. I also noticed that Packages do not have any programs configured. This is for any Dell model I select for Windows Will continue to dig through logs but if you have any insight let me know.
Installed the latest release… Getting download errors when trying to sync drivers for Dell and Lenovo. No proxy. The bios update download succeeded for Dell. I think this is a Dell issue as such. I too an experiencing issues downloading the cab, even manually. If you are talking about the exe, I had originally removed this for a purpose however I have just recompiled it and included it in the zip if you re-download it.
Inaccessible logs: Security. The AD account does not have any special permissions in the AD, as I only want this account to read data from the sccm. I tried setting the account as full administrator on sccm, as well as local administrator on the sccm server. Still the same error. There is a bug in the 1. The models are retrieved from an XML delivered by Lenovo so unfortunately I do not have control over this.
I presume you are talking about Windows 7 32 bit drivers in this instance as the X is listed in the tool for Windows Awesome tool. Just implemented in my dev environment. Just pick the models you want to deploy and then walk away. The script will not execute on the system. As the script is not digitally signed, you will need to either alter your execution policies or launch the script inside a PS session with the policies bypassed i.
I think I figured it out. Looks like if you have the Folders in MDT already created the way the script does them, the script will only create the missing folders but will not import the actual drivers. The script malfunctions. When I deleted this folder and reran the script, everything worked great. Looks like the script may need to be tweaked to check for those folders and continue with importing…? I think something else is going on there. The script does check for the presence of the folder structure when importing.
I have just purged my MDT environment and created the Windows 10 x64 folder to confirm, the import job completed without any issue. When I try to run this script for just MDT it will download the cab file and create the entry into the MDT share, but does not import the drivers. Any idea why this happens? Have you tried manually importing the drivers in PowerShell to test for any errors?.
I found a problem with dirvers for Dell Precision name retrived from sccm As dell aparently calls it Dell Precision Mobile Workstation When you say you found a problem, are you having issues with the download etc?. The model names come directly from the Dell XML. FYI Running without a proxy on a direct connection was failing when checking Lenovo models. Noticed the following error output:. Specify the UseBasicParsing parameter and try again.
Turns out it just needed the UseBasicParsing parameter substituted in the script as seen in the global variables section per the error outpu. All is well with the world. Hope that saves someone the research that it took on my end. Hi there — great tool! Is this normal? Previously the script was creating a PowerShell script in each of the bios package folders.
In the latest release with modern bios management this is replaced by a script that works to download and dynamically identify the bios update. EDIT: I found where the package was created! The drivers are packaged as a standard package for use with our MDM modern driver management post. You do have the option of picking Driver Package if you wish.
Thank you so much for the fast reply. As a best practice, do you recommend choosing one of them? I see that I can still pick the standard driver package from a Task sequence but for an organization point of view I guess I should probably create the packages in the driver packages, instead of mixing application packages with driver packages…. My personal preference is to package the drivers into standard program packages. Our Modern Driver Management process works on the basis of the drivers being contained within standard packages.
Congrats on this amazing tool. Unfortunately I am experiencing an unusual behavior running it to get Lenovo drivers. The file sp Ahh, I get it. Some have a licence agreement selection and others have not. There were issues with some of the driver packages not following the silent extract paths and process, it is being corrected on a case by case basis at this stage.
Ah ok. For now I have altered the script so that it uses the Acer method 7zip to extract the content and so far it has worked for all models I selected. The model list and subsequent supported operating systems are fed through in an XML from Dell, so I have no direct control over the listings.
At present manually interrogating the XML only results in the following;. Thanks a lot for the quick response Maurice. I guess I will have to do the win7 drivers manually. First off, great tool!
Is there something different about the HP model request? Just wonder for troubleshooting purposes. If you are selecting the Windows 10 or as the OS, HP is the only manufacturer currently using this method. If you select Windows 10 or previous OSes you should be able to select the other manufacturers. How often is the driver XML updated? Thank you, this tool is a great time saver! The Acer downloads are taken from a web scrape so they are real time and the Microsoft downloads are manually updated at the moment.
Is there any difference in your internet access policies between the two?.
