We have now received a new batch of Lenovo X1 Yoga laptops and have decided to do a Windows 10 pilot/rollout along with this. A colleague is looking into the backend Windows 10 requirements (some new group policies and a few other things) and I am to prepare SCCM for Windows 10 deployments.   I approached this the same way I appro

After the TS is complete, some devices have no driver installed. Now the weird stuff comes to play... When we wait a few seconds/minutes these missing drivers get installed automatically.
