Abstract
A tool for managing device driver aggregation during operating system deployment. The tool receives a request for a device bundle, wherein the request originates from a first target client. The tool determines whether an available driver bundle matches the device bundle, wherein the available driver bundle is a driver bundle stored locally on a second target client. Responsive to a determination that the available driver bundle matches the device bundle, the tool provisions the available driver bundle to the first target client from the second target client.
