Some time ago, we enabled drivers in Intune-managed Windows Update for Business, and for the most part this has been quite successful. Backgroundįirst, a bit of background as to why this solution was created. In part 1, I’ll show you a reporting solution giving you visibility of available HP driver updates across your managed estate and in part 2, I’ll show a flexible solution for deploying driver updates, whether all updates, by category, criticality or specific updates to specific devices. In this two-part series I will cover a solution I recently created to manage HP driver updates on Windows workstations.
