Community Notes

A short survey: Reporting on the state of HW driver installation

Microsoft needs some data and you folks are always ready to give it.  Microsoft believes it is very important to report on the state of Hardware drivers installations, but they need your input to push this through.

The Microsoft SCCM team is proposing a solution where hardware vendor driver updates are delivered via the SCCM Software Updates infrastructure. They’d like to understand the importance of SCCM reporting the installation state to your corporation.

Drop out to the following link and take the very short survey.  You MUST take the survey by June 14th, 2007!
