The solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot of sources to download and install drivers from. Ex. the hardware vendor, Microsoft Update and the PC vender. I dont know witch one that is best, but this solution is using drivers provided by Lenovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on that, I have decided that I use Lenovo ThinInstaller to keep the drivers and Bios up-to-date in my environment. Hopefully this will give the best and most secure performace on a Lenovo device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this solution, you are able to schedule a scan via remediation, start it manually in the Company Portal or run the remediation manually on a device in Intune. It is not the prettiest way in the Company Portal, as the “install” comes back as failed even thougth the scan ran as success. Then you can click “Reinstall” to trigger the scan again. It is like that, bacause I want to be able to trigger it again and again. You can’t do that if it “install” as success. I currently looking for at better solution, but this is how it is for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run remediation on a specific device example:
\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need two or three applications if you want to be able to just show what updates that is applicable, “Lenovo ThinInstaller x.x.x.x Installer”, “Lenovo Driver Updates – Manual Install Updates”, Lenovo Driver Updates – Manual List Updates” (Can be optional) and one remediation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenovo ThinInstaller – Installer:<\/strong>
I made the version like this: The first tree numbers is the PSADT version (4.1.7<\/strong>.1) and the last number is the internal release. So in this case, internal release number 2 (4.1.7.1<\/strong>).
The installere application cotains a PSAppDeployToolkit with ThinInstaller files, install.cmd and uninstall.cmd.
