How to export third-party driver packages using PowerShell

Posted by Alex Verboon on Friday, April 4, 2014

Windows 8.1 Update introduces a new cmdlet that allows you to export third-party drivers that are located within the driver store of a Windows client.

$ExpDrv = Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination c:\temp\3rdpartydrivers 

```powershell
The result, all drivers exported into the provided destination directory

Now we have a whole bunch of folders, but what drivers did we actually export?

```powershell
$ExpDrv | Select-Object ClassName, ProviderName, Date, Version | Sort-Object ClassName
