How to install Drivers using Microsoft Intune?

Our organization has computers from different vendors, but if we just use a unified image for the base configuration and use Auto-Pilot to implement the computer deployment, we are likely to have problems with drivers not installing and updating properly.

I wanted to push drivers based on different models through Microsoft Intune and created dynamic groups based on the Model of the Device.

My question is, how should I deploy the driver application and verify that the drivers have been installed correctly? Drivers often do not have exact installation paths, and a driver installation package may contain multiple sub-drivers, all of which have registry entries that are difficult to probe.

My current thinking is to manually create a registry entry after performing a driver installation, either through PowerShell or a batch process, to indicate that the application has been installed, but I'm not sure if this is best practice.

If there is more of a good solution, please guide me.
Thank you very much!!!

    @Caspar Cui, Thanks for posting in in Q&A. Your thought is OK. You can manually create a registry key after the driver installation. Here is a link with an example for your reference.

    Note: non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

    Hope the above information can help.
