Drivers Inventory dashboard on devices with Intune and Log Analytics

In this post I will share with you a Log Analytics dashboard for drivers inventory allowing you to see all drivers installed on your devices

The solution

The script will get all non Microsoft drivers on each devices using the Win32_PNPSignedDriver WMI class.

It will be executed on each devices through a Remediation script.

This will resume in few steps:

- Creating a Remediation script

- Script is executed on all devices

- It will get installed drivers

- It will send info to Log Analytics

What shows the dashboard ?

The dashboard will display the below information in two tabs:

Drivers resume tab

- Devices count per models

- Devices count per drivers version

- Devices with drivers > 2 years

Drivers details tab

- Full details

- Drivers installed per models

- Drivers > 2 years (filter by device name)

- Older drivers (> 2 years)

- List of graphics drivers per models

- List of network drivers per models

Next step

Microsoft recently pushed the new Windows driver update management feature in Intune.

So next step will be to bind both this drivers inventiry workbook with the new driver feature from Intune.

This way you can have a list of drivers installed on each devices with current version new version available (if there is).

I will also bind this workbook to my BSOD workbook.

See here to get more info about the BSOD workbook.

Issues you have

Error with CL

After adding the workbook if you have an error as below it means that the Custom log does not exist yet so the workbook can not access to data from a log that not exists.

To check that just go to the Log part from Log Analytics and check if the DriversInventory_CL exists.

If not check if the remediation script has been executed at least on a device.

Error with filters

If you have the below error, check in filters at the top that something is selected.

For instance, go to the Class filter and check All if it's not
