We do have a lot, just under 40 total models, mostly Lenovo, some Dell. Generally the only drivers we keep up to date are LAN, WLAN, DISPLAY, and sometimes STORAGE.
Deleting and re-importing is a huge pain because the 'SCCM CABs' as Lenovo calls them are never up to date.

What steps do you take to "clean up". Do you go through the drivers one by one deleting the older versions? My thinking was if I just delete all drivers in the package I can ensure that only the latest are there. We do not have a lot and only have x64 systems.

Its amazing to see the driver package sizes cut in half when we do cleanup. :) Daniel Ratliff From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin Johnston Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2015 1:06 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [mssms] Driver updates in SCCM 2012 R2 Just curious if others delete and replace when a new driver comes out so the image gets the latest or there is an issue, or do you import and leave all the other drivers there for that specific model? Originally I download the cab drivers from dell, build the driver package and that is all good, but when a new version of some of the drivers come out I import the new cab file. I am pretty sure it leaves all the other versions there. Is it better to delete the entire package and rebuild a new one? Thoughts?
