The script also has logic to automatically install and update the NuGet Package Provider and the PowerShellGet module. If the PowerShell Gallery version is newer, it will be automatically downloaded and installed. When running the script in online mode, it will reach out to the PowerShell Gallery and compare the version of the HPCMSL module against the locally installed version.

The script can be run either in online mode or offline mode. I decided to create a PowerShell script to automate the PowerShell Gallery and file copy install methods for the HP Client Management Script Library. This is because WinPE doesn’t support installing Modules directly from PowerShell Gallery and also does not allow for installing from an executable. This is the method that would need to be used when installing the HP Client Management Script Library in WinPE. The folder name needs to be the same as the name of the module it contains. Note that in order for the modules to be detected by PowerShell, they need to be correctly named. Alternatively, the files could be downloaded directly from the PowerShell Gallery. Then the files could be copied from Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules. The HP Client Management Script Library could be installed on a machine using either the executable or Install-Module cmdlet. These folders can be obtained in multiple ways. These are the folders that need to be copied. So instead of using one of those automated install options, the files could just be manually copied. File Copy Installīoth the executable install and the PowerShell Gallery install result in some files and folders being copied into Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules. If the current version of PowerShellGet is less than 2.0.1, there is a bug where after installing the latest version, a new PowerShell session needs to be opened to access the updated version. However, on systems that haven’t installed modules from the PowerShell Gallery, both of these items will need updates.

If you frequently install PowerShell modules on your system, these requirements may already be taken care of.

The PowerShellGet module needs to be updated.

The NuGet Package Provider needs to be updated.

However there are a couple pre-requisites when installing directly from the PowerShell Gallery. This seems like all that should be required for the install.

The executable is an InnoSetup installer and will take any of the standard InnoSetup switches. The installer can be downloaded from HERE.

HP provides an installer than can be run in a full Windows OS.

Copy the CMSL module files into the PowerShell modules directory.

Install directly from the PowerShell gallery using Install-Module.

Install using the executable installer provided by HP.

There are 3 main ways to install the HP Client Management Script Library. The WinPE-WMI and WinPE-PowerShell components need to be added in the Optional Components tab of the boot image Properties window. The WinPE-Scripting and WinPE-WMI components are included in SCCM boot images by default. Before the CMSL can be run from WinPE, these components need to be added to the boot image. The only prerequisite for running the Client Management Script Library in full windows is PowerShell version 5.1 or newer. If you’re just here for the script, you can find it on my GitHub: Prerequisites In this post I’ll be taking about the different ways to install the HP CSML. I thought this provided a good opportunity to take a deeper look at what this tool offers. HP recently released the latest Client Management Script Library modules to the PowerShell gallery.

The HP CMSL is a bundle of PowerShell modules created by HP for the purpose of managing HP firmware and drivers from the command line. These WMI classes work great for managing BIOS settings, but what if I want to manage Firmware updates or work with HP Softpaqs? One answer is to use the HP Client Management Script Library. If you’ve been keeping up with my blog posts, you’ll know that HP natively provides a few WMI classes and methods to the WIndows OS.
