Top 3 Improvements for Drivers Policies in Intune
The introduction of Bulk Editing for Driver policies in Intune is a vital enhancement that simplifies the management of device drivers. Let’s explore how this feature works and its key benefits.
- Managing individual driver updates could be time-consuming, especially with many devices.
- Bulk Editing allows administrators to handle multiple drivers simultaneously.
- The bulk Editing feature is now available in the Drivers Policies section of Intune.
- Once multiple drivers are selected, administrators are presented with 3 key options: Approve, Pause, or Decline.
Example – If you have a set of recommended drivers and want to ensure they are approved for installation on the next Patch Tuesday, you can select them all and use the Bulk Editing feature to approve them immediately.
Bulk Driver Actions
The Bulk Driver Actions feature currently presents 3 key options: Approve, Suspend, and Decline, but Future Bulk Editing shows the 3 key options as Approve, Pause, or Decline. The table below helps you show the current and future bulk Driver Actions.
| Current Bulk Driver Actions | Future Bulk Editing Options |
|---|---|
| Approve Multiple Drivers | Approve Multiple Drivers |
| Suspend Multiple Drivers | Pause Multiple Drivers |
| Decline Multiple Drivers | Decline Multiple Drivers |
NOTE! – We can’t see the Pause Multiple Drivers option in Build Driver Actions in our tenant.
