Enterprise driver management

Fed up with driver hell? Imaging Toolkit includes enterprise driver management providing machine inventory import, driver search, installation analysis and driver packaging for each machine model.

OS deployment ready

Driver Manager works with your existing management solution and OS deployment. In fact, Driver Manager can work with any task-based deployment solution.

Driver analysis

We analyse each driver to identify the best installation method (INF vs Setup). Drivers that haven't been written well by the manufacturer or OEM and behave badly get flagged by us and we work with you to find a solution for the machine in question.

Machine vendor drivers

We always source drivers directly from the machine manufacturers to ensure you get the best possible compatibility. Otherwise we will match the device to the OEM provided driver.

Management content creation

Driver Manager can natively create machine model driver packages containing the latest supported Windows drivers for MDT, MECM/SCCM and ITMS.

Technical support

With over 20 years of Windows OS deployment, we're able to assist you whether you're a first time user or a veteran deployment wizard.
