Hi all,

 

we have a couple of HP Elitebook Notebooks with a couple of USB-C Dockingstations and we get next jear 200 new HP NOtebooks.

How to remotely find out the firmware version of the USB-C dock? How to remotely update the firmware unattended?

Is there a Tool for this 2 Jobs.

 

Yesterday we used this tool: https://support.hp.com/de-de/drivers/selfservice/hp-usb-c-dock-g5/27767205

Why i have to install .Net Framework 3.5? 3.5 is designed for Windows 7, in Windows 10 it is not present, we have to install .Net Framework before manually. This is not usable for many devices.

 

Thanks and regards

 

WST

Hello

 

it's the FIrmware pack available at the link you posted: https://support.hp.com/de-de/drivers/selfservice/hp-usb-c-dock-g5/27767205

 

this is the link https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp134001-134500/sp134241.exe

when you extract sp134241.exe, there is a folder called Manageability.

indide there is the software HODockWMIProvider.exe that has to be installed to PC where the USB-C Docking is connected .

then a manual is this:  HP_Firmware_Installer_for_Docks_L33010-004.pdf

 

you need a tool to read WMI informate on remote computer.

 

bye
