Okay, maybe I'm missing something, but how would I download the Win7 driver CAB
for an E6400?
Here is the XML block that I found for the E6400, but I don't see any easy
field that I can use to grab it with.
Shouldn't there just be a field for "Model"?
We have a known set of models that we've purchased from Dell. I'd like to
build up a script using this that would go out, pull down the latest XML and
then grab the latest driver CABs for the models that I specify.
The code snippet I have so far is:
$catalogXMLDoc.DriverPackManifest.DriverPackage| ? { ($_.type -eq "win") -and
($_.SupportedOperatingSystems.OperatingSystem.majorVersion -eq 6 ) -and
($_.SupportedOperatingSystems.OperatingSystem.minorVersion -eq 1 ) }
But that gets me all the models supported with Win7. Have a model field would
help, something like "-and ($_.Model -eq "Latitude E6400" ) " or maybe "-and
($_.ModelNumber -eq "E6400" ) " .
I'm probably missing something, so bear with me.

Subject: [MDT-OSD] RE: New Dell Driver Pack Catalog available today!
There is no change to the Driver CABs themselves, so you can continue to use
them as you currently do. We are just making the metadata available (in
catalog form) for customers who want to automate their OSD driver management.
A future release of our SCCM integration pack will leverage this catalog to
simplify driver management, but until then you are free to script up your own
solution.
Thanks,
Warren

So this appears to be a paradigm shift from how we've loaded Dell driver packs
in the past. There's lot of PoSH snippets on the page you linked, but any
screenshots/instructions for how to integrate this into an SCCM OSD TS?
