Driver Automation Tool Description
Sure enough the better the hardware configuration of your PC, the better it can perform in any situation. However, drivers also have an important saying in performance, so keeping them updated is a mandatory operation on any computer. As such, Driver Automation Tool comes with the means to help you grab entire driver packages ready for deployment.
Suitable for mass-deployment on target computers
One of the first things worth mentioning is that the application comes in a lightweight package which is good to go from the moment download is done. This makes it possible to have it carried around on a USB flash drive to use on other computers as well. Note that an active Internet connection is required to reach the specific server, and the program needs administrator privileges to properly gather all data.
In fact, the application is nothing more than a PowerShell script made for downloading specific driver packages and BIOS versions, but wrapped around an intuitive interface. Note, however, that the program is not your everyday driver download tool, being specialized in downloading entire driver packages ready to be deployed on large computer setups.
Select download mode of interest, manufacturer, and operating system
One of the first steps is to reach the SCCM server of interest, with the application reading your computer as the default one if nothing is provided. Additionally, the connection can be established through a proxy server. Models from manufacturers of interest need to be looked up and added to the list, with options for Acer, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, and Microsoft.
You need to carefully choose the deployment platform of interest, with options for SCCM driver or standard package, MDT, both SCCM and MDT, or download only. The operating system needs to be selected as well, and the corresponding architecture too.
It’s possible to specify repository and package file paths, although UNC paths are used at the root share level only. Driver cleanup options let you remove unused drivers which are not associated with a package, as well as to remove superseded driver packages.
To sum it up
All things considered, we can state that Driver Automation Tool is a proper driver package download tool which comes in handy for mass-deployment of drivers across an array of computers. Entire driver packages and BIOS versions can be grabbed for a whole variety of manufacturers and models.
