PS \\cm01\share\softpaqs\repository> Set-Repositor圜onfiguration -setting OfflineCacheMode -Cachevalue Enable # do once Critical step, and required by HP Image Assistant – done once.PS \\cm01\share\softpaqs\repository> Initialize-Repository # do once The CMSL commands will be running 'from' the repo share. In PowerShell, create and Initialize a repository.

Again, for this exercise, we will configure this folder as the repository: \\cm01\share\softpaq\repository Note: Some of the following PowerShell command require that they be executed from the repository folder we create, as they cannot be pointed to a specific repository with a runtime option.

As long as the client can access the HPIA folder and HPIA can access (read/write permission) the repository share, they can be hosted anywhere. The following commands will do what we need. We will keep the Softpaq repository as a separate place on the share so that only the needed Softpaqs are downloaded to the client device. The CMSL can be installed directly into PowerShell from the PowerShell Gallery (as the preferred method) with the PowerShellGet cmdlet: PS> Install-Module -Name HPCMSLĭocumentation for the CMSL is hosted here.įor this exercise, let’s assume the MEMCM server is named CM01, the MEMCM share to be used by the clients is set to \\CM01\share, and the downloaded and unpacked HP Image Assistant folder is at \\CM01\share\HPIA.
#HP DRIVERS INSTALLER INSTALL#
PS > Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force # install the latest version of PowerSHellGet moduleĮxit your PowerShell command window and open a new one, also as Administrator - This seems to be a crtitical step, or you will see errors loading the HPCMSL module If it needs installed, you can follow these steps to set it up (in PowerShell as Administrator): PS > Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -Force # make sure Package NuGet is up to date NOTE: Obtaining the CMSL from the Microsoft PowerShell gallery requires the use of the PowerShellGet module. Thanks, Quick/HP, Nathan/HP, and Val/HP, for your help checking out the process, finding my oversights, and helping clear the documentation.
#HP DRIVERS INSTALLER HOW TO#
This blog shows how to create and maintain a Softpaq repository, a step-by-step outline for Microsoft MEMCM to use it for client installations or updates, and download from a MEMCM Distribution point, instead of from HP. The HP CMSL can clean up the repository so that only the latest release of any Softpaq (bios, driver, software, etc.) is available and ready.
#HP DRIVERS INSTALLER SOFTWARE#
Previously, HP System Software Manager (SSM) has had this role for quite some time but required additional effort in managing the Softpaq store and over time could become confused as to which Softpaq made sense to install as the file store grew in size and number of softpaqs. Other Management tools can also use the information in this blog to automate similar processes.
#HP DRIVERS INSTALLER DRIVER#
HPIA can then utilize these repositories during image deployment tasks or for normal driver updates, potentially eliminating the need to install driverpacks, or as a supplement to make sure any drivers installed during driverpack injection are up to date during the imaging steps. Recently added features support the ability for the CMSL to create and maintain offline, intranet hosted respositories. HP Image Assistant (since version 4.5.4) and the HP Client Management Script Library (since version 1.4.0) can team up to deliver intelligent and efficient installation of HP drivers, bios, and other HP software in a Microsoft Endpoint Management Configuration Manager (MEMCM), or other similar management environments.
