Automatically update the drivers via WSUS 3.0 SP1

Posted November 16, 2010, 15:51

Hello

Recently at the company that I work we started pushing updates to the video card driver via WSUS. While users have no problems of installation, we had difficulty to automate the process. Basically, we have 7 computers that are run continuous tests that cannot be interrupted, except for 430 in the morning when they restart. We have a script that does the reset and we try to make these computers to install updates before restarting. I tried WuInstall, Remote X Reboot, this script:http://www.wsus.info...?showtopic=7298 and this: http://msdn.microsof...28VS.85%29.aspx where all work, ideal for installing Windows updates but none of them install updates of the driver as well! The updates appear as high priority and all other updates installed without problem, every single script/program that I use to try to automate the updates says "No update available" even if the Windows Update icon is still there. We tried this on Windows XP and Windows 7 computers and got the same result, we use WSUS SP1 on Server 2008. Any help/link to a program/script would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Please repost your request in the Forum of WSUS.  Thank you! Carey Frisch

  • How to restore a bios? accidentally flashed my dm4-2070us by updating the drivers

    How to restore a bios? accidentally flashed my dm4-2070us while update the drivers with insydeflash, ran the configuration automatically thing and my phone then froze... when I type with my keyboard keys don't work to register and there is an occasional clicking sound coming from the touchpad... I would return my dm4-2070us for a new? is it possible to restore my bios? is the damaged mobo etc should I change just for a new?

    If you can exchange it for another, it would be the best thing to do. There are some things to try to save the BIOS, but most of the time, they do not work.

    Do you have important files on the hard drive, there is a way to save those?

    You don't want to automatically install drivers from Windows Update or another source.

  • Satellite Pro L300 upgraded to Win8 but I would like to update the drivers

    I have upgraded to Windows 8, but I found the Wifi adapter needs to be reset frequently (it seems to be without a cause) - Troubleshooting Windows 8 solves it by resetting the adapter, but I thought there will be a fix for this?

    When I tried to update the drivers I found that the L300 is not (in the not extensible or expandable lists)-is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model? Or can you suggest how to update all the drivers of Toshiba for this model.

    Thank you

    Your Satellite Pro is the model of laptop old enough and not supported for Win8.
    It is difficult to find drivers for the notebook not supported models and old.

    Problem is that if you make the decision to do so anyway you are on your own and can be all just lucky if everything works properly.
    > is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model?
    It is not easy to give you the right answer. What needs to be done is to compare each hardware component important as chipset, GPU, chip sound, LAN/WLAN with other models and see if some Win8 drivers are available. It is not so easy.

    For example: Toshiba Satellite pro L300 offers 4 different hardware platforms. One you have? What is the model number of your machine?

  • How do I update the drivers and BIOS on Satellite P300?

    I had problems with my wifi, and as my partners laptop works very well, it has been suggested that I might need to update the drivers and/or BIOS.

    I tried to do, but where do you download the BIOS/driver updates?

    After downloading, how can I make sure my notebook 'takes' updates?
    As you can see, I'm not too technical so all the simpletons terms advice please...

    My system is E430, although the question is pretty generic.

    Hi again, ahaider7

    I don't think that a program would be necessary. However, after doing more research, I'm not sure the work process. In addition, update the BIOS via USB is not supported, because as far as I know. If you want to update the BIOS of your machine, I highly recommend using the utility to update the BIOS. You can also burn the .iso to a CD and the image file.

    Kind regards

  • update the drivers of yoga are very old?

    I have laptop 2 13 Yoga...

    I have downloaded/installed new driver for my laptop from lenovo.com

    Once installed (driver genius proffesional)... When the scanner for the new driver gives me 9 new update for the driver

    then installed (drivermax) to verify that this driver are in need of an update and it also gives me 9 update to the same drivers...

    Yet once I open my computer cell phone supprt page and copmare drivers version with versions of drivermax me game...

    I found this version of drivermax drivers are more recent than the laptop support page

    Why the lenovo is too slow for the update to the new version?

    First of all, get rid of drivermax. I have tried in the past and it is not all it is cracked up to to be.

    Drivers Lenovo provides are tested to work with combinations of material not only a single chip.

    For example, the video chip may have a dozen drivers on its own. But you add to it a certain processor and the number drops to 3, add a certain audio chip and drops numbers 1. You may be able to get other drivers to work, but they can cause a problem with other hardware on your computer. It is not that Lenovo is slow to update the drivers, is that after a period of time that certain combinations of materials are no longer used because they got too old. This can happen after a very short period of time.

    Despite the fact that the other contributors to this thread might disagree, personally I don't recommend updates Windows for driver updates either and I'm not alone in this opinion.

    Usually, it's just NEVER a good idea to accept hardware drivers (video, audio, network) of MS and if any hardware driver updates are available to you, say the MS Updates you refuse their and never offer them to you again. MS has done a bad job to determine what hardware drivers you need. You should only get hardware drivers from the WEB site hardware manufacturers and never from MS.

    Update the drivers is not required, unless this update of the driver gives greater functionality or solve a known problem. Driver updates are provided free of charge by officials of your hardware. Do NOT use winupdate for pilots
