The solution
There is a lot of sources to download and install drivers from. Ex. the hardware vendor, Microsoft Update and the PC vender. I dont know witch one that is best, but if you log a ticket with HP, they would have you install all the latest driver via “HP Image Assistant”.
Based on that I have decided that I use HP Image Assistant to keep the drivers and Bios up-to-date in my environment. Hopefully this will give the best and most secure performace on a HP device.
In this solution, you are able to schedule a scan via remediation, start it manually in the Company Portal or run the remediation manually on a device in Intune. It is not the prettiest way in the Company Portal, as the “install” comes back as failed even thougth the scan ran as success. Then you can click “Reinstall” to trigger the scan again. It is like that bacause I want to be able to trigger it again and again. You can’t do that if it “install” as success. I currently looking for at better solution, but this is how it is for now.
Run remediation on a specific device example:
You need two applications, “HP Image Assistant Installer x.x.x.x”, “HP Driver Updates – Manual Check” and one remediation.
HP Image Assistant Installer:
I made the version like this: The first tree numbers is the Image Assistant version (5.3.2.2) and the last number is the internet release. So in this case, internal release number 2 (5.3.2.2).
The installere application cotains a PSAppDeployToolkit with HP Image Assistant files, install.cmd and uninstall.cmd.
This version contains “HP Image Assistant 5.3.2”. When a new version is released, you just need to delete all the files in “HP Image Assistant 5.3.2.2 Installer\HPIA\Files” and copy the new HP Image Assistant files, rename the 5.3.2.2.txt to the new version and change the version in the powershell script file.
Dialog boxes:
Balloon dialog box when Image assistant is running. This can be changed in the script.
When a reboot is requered. The countdown can be changed in the script.
Installation path:
%programdata%/HPIA
Log files:
“C:\HPIA\ HP Image Assistant.log” – Show log of HP Image Assistant scanning
”C:\Windows\Logs\Software\HP_DriverInstallation_%VERSION%_EN_01_PSAppDeployToolkit_Install.log” – Show the result of the app that starts HP driver update when running automatic.
”C:\Windows\Logs\Software\HP_DriverInstallation_%VERSION%_EN_01_PSAppDeployToolkit_Repair.log” – Shows the result of the app that starts HP driver update manually.
Result files:
“C:\HPIA\ HPIAReport-%DATE%.html” – Shows the result of the scanning in html format.
“C:\HPIA\ HPIAResult_Install–%DATE%..html” – Shows the result of the installation in html format
