Installing HP Power Manager via PowerShell / ConfigMgr CI

This is pretty simple, as long as you have HPCMSL on your end points, and if you’re running HP Devices, you should just do it!

HP Power Manager is a nifty tool to provide Battery Status information and set policy around battery Management. Extensive information can be found here: HP Business Notebook PCs – HP Power Manager | HP® Customer Support

In this Post I’m going to provide the information to have it automatically deploy to your end points

Configuration Item

Detection Method: (Makes sure the device is HP & a Laptop)

$Baseboard = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Baseboard
$LaptopChassisTypes = @("8","9","10","11","12","14","18","21","30","31")

#Confirm Device is HP
If (($Baseboard.Manufacturer -match "HP") -or ($Baseboard.Manufacturer -match "Hewlett")) {
    $chassi = gwmi -Class 'Win32_SystemEnclosure'
    if ($chassi.ChassisTypes -in $LaptopChassisTypes){ #Confirm Laptop
        Write-Output "HP Laptop"
    }
}

Settings: Discovery Script

if (Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "HPPowerManager"}){
    Write-Output "Compliant"
}
else {
    Write-Output "Non-Compliant"
}

Settings: Remediation Script

$SoftPaqInfo = Get-SoftpaqList -Category Software | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "Power Manager"}
Get-Softpaq -Number $SoftPaqInfo.id -SaveAs "C:\swsetup\$($SoftPaqInfo.id).exe" -Action silentinstall

Compliance Rules:

And with that, add it to your HP Baseline

And HP Power Manager will automatically be downloaded and installed the next time the baseline runs.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "HPPowerManager"}

To Uninstall, just pipe that to Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers

Then you can trigger your baseline again and confirm it all still works. Takes a couple minutes to reinstall..

Based on this example, you can deploy pretty much any of the HP Management software using HPCMSL.
