Note: The automatically detected drivers from the imaged system and from the system where Endpoint Central agent is installed, will be always stored in the configured driver repository. If you create a new repository for storing the drivers, the drivers will no longer be stored in the old one, however the drivers in the old repository will be still used for deployment purpose.
