WSUS Drivers category
If we were to turn on the WSUS drivers category would these drivers include all the drivers necessary from the major vendors, Dell, HP, Lenovo? Or is it a small subset only?
John_Dahl Dune here from the Microsoft Endpoint Manager team-
While the driver category in WSUS contains drivers from some of these vendors, we don't recommend that you use the category as an update mechanism for drivers because the category includes over 100,000 drivers and this can be problematic. The huge list of drivers is not manageable and the metadata alone could be enough to cause scan traffic to spike in your environment.
We know that your options for servicing drivers are not what they could be right now and I can assure you we are hard at work rectifying this 🙂
Thanks Dune for the tip! As a follow-up, do you have a documentation link for other general Endpoint Manager best practices that we can refer to?
