Hi, We use the HP SSM in several projects and it's a great tool. We use the HP SDM (softpaq downloader) to download the correct driver/app for each model then use the ssm.exe to build a database (ssm.exe /am_bld_db) for the model, this creates a .mdb and a .xml file. The .cva file that downloads with each softpaq contains info about OS and model.

However, to no avail am I able to make this work successfully for several drivers, even though the drivers SSM approved by HP. I have successfully updated my BIOS’s thanks to Richards PPT. I must say, the SSM is perfect for updating HP BIOS’s. About my driver issues. I’m using the following cmd line: SSM.exe . /log:c:\temp /INSTALL /ACCEPT /NOAVAUPDATE /NODIALOG /DEBUG /NOREBOOT What I have noticed is, drivers/software such as HP Protect Tools and Validity Fingerprint reader don’t install. But I can see where a majority of drivers do install. However, when it finishes installing the drivers/software the system reboots (not from a restart I added). On some hardware the system will boot back into windows and bypass the rest of my task sequence. Thoughts?
