Add Device Drivers to Operating System and Boot Images in Configuration Manager 2012

When you have added device drivers to the driver catalog, you can add them to existing operating systems and boot images. The driver catalog helps manage the cost and complexity of deploying an operating system in an environment that contains different types of computers and devices. Storing device drivers in the driver catalog and not with each individual operating system image greatly reduces the number of operating system images you need.

For information about managing the driver catalog, see the section, “How to Manage the Driver Catalog in Configuration Manager,” in the Configuration Manager 2012 Documentation Library, which is installed with Configuration Manager 2012.
