Thank you both Erik and Michael! I have been doing a few test runs and both your suggestions work :)
One scenario I ran was this: Set the WSUS Server in CustomSettings.ini using variable WSUSServer No drivers approved in WSUS. Run the Windows Update steps in MDT without modification of the script or the extra parameters Still, drivers are being downloaded. Is that the correct behavior? I though MDT would just grab whatever was approved in WSUS.
