https://www.engl.co.uk/Company/Blogs/tabid/157/EntryId/3/ENGL-Driver-Manager-2-0-RC1-BETA.aspx
I'm pleased to announce that ENGL Driver Manager 2.0 RC1 BETA is now available to download.
Note: Driver Manager 2.0 RC1 BETA has been extensively tested but we recommend installation in a non-production environment. If Driver Manager 1.x is installed it will be upgraded to 2.0 RC1.
New features
Driver Manager 2.0 RC1 includes SCCM integration and the following new features;
- MDT 2010 Support
Both SCCM and MDT are now selectable deployment platforms within Driver Manager. Drivers can be added to the MDT driver store and application packages which are categorised using MDT folders (Windows OS, platform, machine manufacturer and model). - Analysis Rule Updates
Analysis algorithms are used to determine the best installation method for a given driver. Analysis rules will now be updated as part of the scheduled Driver Manager update check. - Analysis can now be performed without integration
A Driver Pack (Windows / platform drivers for a given machine model) or an individual driver can now be analyised without integration. This is useful to review the determined best installation method before creating the packages in MDT and SCCM. - Driver Installation Logic
Packages will be created that run an executable named DriverInstaller.exe that performs a hardware inventory scan and then installs the drivers that are compatible with the current hardware. For example, a Software Package created for a Dell Latitude E6500 may contain both an Intel and NVidia display driver as there are two variations of that hardware model. Using the new driver installation logic, both drivers can be deployed but only one will be installed depending on the hardware.
Special offer to BETA testers!
If you evaluate Driver Manager 2.0 RC1 BETA using your company email address and provide feedback by posting to the Driver Manager support forum you will be eligible for a 50% discount on retail licenses provided you purchase within 90 days of the product release.
Download and Support
Driver Manager 2.0 RC1 can be downloaded here. If you have questions and feedback during the BETA please post them to the Driver Manager support forums.

Microsoft hopes to offer iOS and Android MDM control when System Center: Configuration gets its updates that allow it to replace Microsoft’s System Center: Mobile Device Manager/SC:MDM. It remains to be seen how fast Microsoft will be able to perform the updates needed to vet fresh and unknown devices into the protection schemes afforded by having a connected NAC and MDM application that covers more than Microsoft Windows Mobile Devices, which is the current limitation of the production software shipping with SC:MDM.

Derdack, provider of advanced enterprise notification software today an-nounced the launch of a new enterprise alerting app for Windows Phone 7 (WP7) that delivers enhanced IT systems management. The app, which will be launched in late July, enables Microsoft System Center Opera-tions Manager (SCOM), Service Manager (SCSM), HP Operations Center and IBM Tivoli Monitoring users to manage business critical incidents directly from a WP7 smartphone. The major benefits are increased trans-parency, speed and accuracy of response to critical events.
