Unknown Drivers

[TomCollyers]

Hello I've tried searching the forum and I've not found this, although I'm not sure it's possible under the current Lansweeper.

It would be really good to see unknown device drivers, i.e windows XP machines that don't have drivers installed - is this possible?

Thankyou

Thanks Neosys, describing it much better than me!

Best behaviour would be to have a scan report that would flag if a device has no drive in a computer.

Thanks for the reply,

Yes I'm interested in all 'Unknown Drivers' i.e the yellow triangle in XP. They could be any type of device, it's just anything that's unknown to XP. I've looked through the different bits of information Lansweeper has recorded on a machine and it doesn't look like it's recorded it anywhere unfortunately

Driver information is scanned for some, but not all, items found in the Device Manager. It really depends on which specific drivers you are interested in. Display adapter drivers are scanned for instance and can be found in tblVideoController, but keyboard drivers are not.

I believe Tom is refering to Unknown Device that would appear in the Windows Device Manager (Yellow ! indicates this status for a hardware peripheral missing it's driver thus unknown device). See the attached screen capture (even if I have none missing)

It would be great to have a report that would flag the computer having a missing driver in their system configuration.

Could you clarify what kind of drivers you are referring to.
