check Dell for latest driver updates and then install the drivers into win7 images that are ready to be deployed? Or install onto systems that are already deployed? – Logman – 2014-07-21T23:07:20.390

Dell Client System Update

The Dell Client System Update (DCSU) application provides update capabilities for Dell™ OptiPlex™, Latitude™ and Dell Precision™ client platforms. DCSU is locally installed on the target system. It includes support for retrieving and installing updates for BIOS, drivers, and system software released by Dell.

Dell packages all the drivers by Model too:

Dell Driver CAB files for Enterprise Client OS Deployment

...to simplify OS deployments on those systems with deployment tools like Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM) or Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).

System CABs for Venue, XPS, Latitude, Optiplex, and Precision Workstations - are designed for deployment to a single model and are developed and supported by Dell

WinPE CABs are designed to provide required drivers for WinPE to boot a Dell Latitude, Optiplex, or Precision Workstation for the purpose of OS Deployment.

Family CABs are designed for deployment to multiple models and are developed and supported by the Dell TechCenter community.

DO you know if this can be used to get drivers for a number of dell systems? or is it just for the dell system that the program is installed on? – user214577 – 2014-07-23T17:07:35.400

individual computers, if you wanted to do groups you could create a msi file with the drivers and use group policy to assign the msi to groups. – Logman – 2014-07-23T21:40:00.627

@user214577 do you want to download from dell all the drivers for a particular model? If so, yes you can.... Dell packages them that way for enterprises... added the info to my post. – Logman – 2014-07-23T21:55:08.520

This assumes they are not the more common Dimension, Inspiron, XPS, Vostro computers... – Jason – 2014-07-23T22:27:25.000
