Following a series of posts about driver packs from the most notorious OEM manufacturers in the worlds, here’s the tip for HP manufacturer.
The website it’s well designed and very easy to navigate. You can always use HP SoftPaq Download Manager but…well..I just like to use this website instead.
Here’s the link:

This week I’ve started to create a new Deployment Share and using Selection Profiles to install drivers.
After creating the Selection Profile for each model, I’ve started to change the task sequence where I’ve disabled the default “Inject Drivers” pass and created new ones.
For this, I’ve created a pass for each model and add a conditional install.based on a WMI query for model.
After this, when testing the new task sequence, I was always getting the above error.
Something look to be wrong with my WMI query but could find out why!
A lot of troubleshooting later, and really with some luck, I copied the query to a notepad and for my surprise, I finally got the problem!
Because I’ve copied the WMI query from a website, when I pasted it it came out with a wrong format. Basically, the double-quotes were in a wrong format!
So…the simple resolution?
Instead of copying the WMI query, just write it yourself and…your done!
Hope this helps! :)

This packs helps to simplify OS deployments on Dell systems using the usual deployment tools like Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or Microsoft Deployment Kit (MDT).

So today, here’s a tip for every IT Administrator that need to download Intel PROSet/Wireless drivers.
Intel provides the below website where you can find drivers-only packages and also software for WiFi, Bluetooth, and WiMax.
This is obviously recommended for large corporations where packages size matters and of course, it helps to avoid installing a lot of “bloatware” usually available on drivers setup.
