Core capabilities

Everything the packaging job actually needs.

Not a wrapper around a download link — the parts that make driver and BIOS management survive contact with a real fleet.

Automated driver downloads

OEM catalogues parsed on a schedule, with a resumable cURL download engine, configurable retries and hash verification for every package.

BIOS update management

Firmware packaged alongside drivers, DPAPI-encrypted BIOS passwords, and maintenance windows that defer a flash rather than forcing it.

Intune Win32 publishing

Packages uploaded as .intunewin Win32 apps with detection rules, assignment filters and Company Portal metadata generated for you.

Scheduled, unattended builds

A headless runner and a Windows Scheduled Task keep packages current overnight, so new releases are packaged before anyone asks.

CMTrace logging

Every phase logged in the format your team already reads, with a built-in viewer that filters info, warnings and errors.

Config import and export

Move a working configuration between environments, or keep it in source control alongside the rest of your build tooling.

One build, four destinations

Deploy to ConfigMgr, Intune, or a standalone WIM.

Pick the destination per model. The same catalogue, the same schedule — the tool handles the packaging format each platform expects.

Configuration Manager

Driver and BIOS packages created, distributed and content-updated in place, with pilot and production states.

Microsoft Intune

Win32 apps with detection rules and auto-generated assignment filters so each pack targets only matching hardware.

Standalone WIM

A single compressed image per model for MDT, OSD or offline import into another environment.

Download only

Sources downloaded and extracted to disk, ready for your own packaging pipeline.

Intune integration

Published, filtered and reported — without the manual prep.

Driver and BIOS packages are built into .intunewin Win32 apps and pushed straight to Intune. No content prep, no wrapping, no detection scripting, and everything reports in the Microsoft Intune admin center.

Automatic Win32 packaging

Each pack is built into the .intunewin format and uploaded as a Win32 app with install/uninstall commands, detection rules and metadata generated for you.

Scoped assignment filters

Filters limit the scope of devices receiving each update, so a package only targets the matching manufacturer, model and SystemID.

Full device visibility

Per-app install, pending, failed and not-applicable status at a glance, reported natively in the Intune admin center.

Client experience

What the person at the desk actually sees.

Once published, packages deploy as available or required apps. Users install from the Company Portal, or the package is pushed automatically — a Windows toast offers the choice to proceed or defer, and continues on its own after five minutes.

Company Portal — Available App
Step 1 of 5

Company Portal — Available App

End users open the Intune Company Portal and locate the driver or BIOS update published as an available app. They click Install to begin the process on demand.

Notifications

Toasts that look like they came from your IT team.

Windows toast notifications keep end users informed at every stage — from a pending update through to a successful install — with your own branding and wording.

Driver source

SCCM Driver Packs, or the very latest drivers.

From build 10.2.4 onwards, the Driver Automation Tool lets you choose how each driver pack is built. Keep the OEM's SCCM Driver Pack — the Configuration Manager release refreshed roughly monthly — or switch Dell, HP and Lenovo to Latest Drivers to pull the newest individual drivers straight from each vendor's live source. Other manufacturers continue to use their SCCM driver pack.

  • SCCM Driver Pack

    The OEM's monthly Configuration Manager driver-pack release — the broadly validated baseline.

  • Latest Drivers

    The newest Dell, HP and Lenovo drivers pulled straight from each vendor's live catalog, so packs aren't held back by the OEM's SCCM release cadence.

  • Update cadence

    Re-evaluate Latest Drivers packs Daily, Weekly or Monthly on scheduled builds — a new pack is only rebuilt when the driver set actually changes.

Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM) and Microsoft Intune, plus WIM Package Only and Download Only modes for manual or custom workflows.
How do I create Intune driver packs?
Intune has no traditional OEM driver packs, so the Driver Automation Tool builds them for you: it downloads the latest model-specific OEM drivers, packages them as Win32 apps (.intunewin), creates detection rules, and auto-generates Intune assignment filters so each driver pack only targets matching hardware. You get ready-to-deploy Intune driver packs for HP, Dell, Lenovo, Surface, Acer, ASUS, Fujitsu and Panasonic.
How do I deploy Intune drivers with the tool?
The Driver Automation Tool streamlines Intune driver management and Intune BIOS management by packaging Intune drivers and BIOS updates as Win32 apps (.intunewin), uploading them to Microsoft Intune, and auto-creating assignment filters so each driver package only targets matching hardware. It handles the full workflow of building Intune driver packages and BIOS packages.
How do I create SCCM drivers and driver packages in ConfigMgr?
For SCCM drivers, the tool downloads the latest OEM driver packs, extracts them, and creates Microsoft Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM) driver packages and BIOS packages automatically — including distribution point content, package metadata, and pilot/production deployment states.
Which OEMs and hardware are supported?
Driver packs are supported for HP, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface, Acer, ASUS, Fujitsu and Panasonic. BIOS and firmware packaging is available for HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer and Microsoft Surface.
Is the Driver Automation Tool free?
