If you work in a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) environment, you are familiar with the major challenges you face during the deployment process. First, you have to locate drivers for specific hardware components, then organize and package them. Next, you need to create a task sequence to advertise to a hardware-specific collection. If any errors present themselves along the way, you have to start again from square one.

On paper, it sounds easy, but in reality, when you consider how many different hardware configurations are scattered around your company, it quickly becomes an overwhelmingly complex and time-consuming process. It's a process that's necessary only because none of the native Microsoft tools features a driver database, which makes locating and managing the correct drivers a manual (and burdensome) process.

Streamline your process with the UIUSD
Now, however, Big Bang offers a fully integrated plug-in that safely and smoothly enhances and streamlines your existing SCCM 2007 or 2012 environment. Our Universal Imaging Utility System Deploy Plug-in (UIUSD) allows SCCM administrators to easily advertise any UIUSD-configured task sequence to any collection of computers, regardless of manufacturer or model.

All you need to do is create a new, or modify an existing task sequence with the UIUSD Machine Configuration step, and the rest practically takes care of itself. During deployment, the UIUSD real-time discovery tool ascertains the onboard hardware, locates the correct drivers, and incorporates them with the image deployment, ensuring that only the most appropriate drivers are loaded. By using only the most appropriate drivers, the UIUSD makes sure that every machine boots properly after every deployment.

The driver database
The UIUSD contains a fully vetted and updated driver database that validates and maintains over 2,000 business-class drivers and 40,000 Plug-n-Play Ids for supported Windows operating systems. And the database can be set up to update automatically. Because UIUSD completely automates driver management, it eliminates the need for SCCM administrators to locate, manage, and package driver files.

The UIUSD enables IT departments to save considerable time and money by delivering a hardware independent image to any PC.
