Use Microsoft driver or HP/compaq driver for windows 2003?

Hi,

We are currently setting up a migration to Windows 2003. One of the questions we asked ourselves how to deal with drivers for HP/Compaq hardware.

1) Is it prefferable to use the HP/Compaq drivers from HP/Compaq or use the drivers within Windows 2003 for HP/Compaq hardware?

2) Are there conflicts if we use Windows (automatic) update and also install drivers delivered by HP/compaq?

We are not using any extra options that a driver from HP/Compaq may deliver.

Any suggetions are welcome.

Thanx in advance.

every patchs have to be tested before you install it .
i dont like automatic update and prefer test compatibility with my environement myself.
