As a follow up to my previous post, I also have developed a script to automate the import of drivers into MDT 2013.  This PowerShell script takes a source folder structure and duplicates the top two levels of folders in the MDT Deployment Share “Out-of-box drivers ” branch.  The script then imports all drivers found in the source directories to the matching folders in MDT.

All we have to do is extract all drivers for a given computer model into an appropriately named folder in the source directory, and then run the script.

#  Creates a folder structure in the "Out of Box Drivers" branch of a MDT 2013
#    deployment share.  The structure matches the first two subdirectories of 
#    the source filesystem defined in $srcRoot.  All drivers contained within
#    $srcRoot are imported into the deployment share.
#
#  Requires: 
#    $srcDir - A driver source directory, 
#    $MDTRoot - a MDT 2013 deployment share
#    - MDT 2013 must be installed in the path noted in $modDir!!!
