Just did this with Dell, now it’s HP’s turn, wrote a script that checks our HP BIOS packages in CM, then compares to what HP has available and updates accordingly.
If you haven’t noticed… I’m in the middle of automating updating our CM Packages …
I’m not going to go into much detail, look at the Dell versions for more info
Post HERE: https://garytown.com/dell-bios-download-and-update-cm-package
You’ll need to update several variables in the script, like FileServer, Package IDs, etc. Please read through the script before running.
Table of models that I’m currently downloading BIOS for, you’ll need to update for your environment. (You’ll need the HP Product Code, that’s what the HP Tools use).
Sorry, notes in the script are a bit lacking.

Can you tell me how to find the model/product ID info for my specific models? I ran the ps command to get the ProdID but the UpdateRepos script errors out saying it cannot find a data file.
Product IDs, you will have to look up the Product IDs for your models and populate the script.
This script was created to look for Models and Create Collections, but it would also find your product codes: https://github.com/gwblok/garytown/blob/master/CreateDeviceCollections
I’ve been completely revamping how we download Drivers for HP / Dell and Create Packages for them.
Scripts are located here: https://github.com/gwblok/garytown/tree/master/hardware
I have not updated blogged any of it yet.
Hi Gary,
Do you maybe have a script that does it all + compressing the pack into a WIM or cab file?
Hi Gary,
Thanks for your post, do you think I can use your script for HP Prodesk 600 G3 ( it’s in your script) do I still need the product code? Also can remove the other models because we have just one?
Thanks again
Yes, you can use it for just one model, clear out the ones you don’t want.
Yes, you should have the Product Code included for all HP Devices.
