Update DriverAutomationTool.ps1 #168
Conversation
Fixed issue where Dell models with more than one version of of the cab file would cause the download to fail. This was due to the path for all of the cab files for that model and OS being added to the download path. Example: ConfigMgr: Downloading from URL: https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER06414474M/1/3550-win10-A02-08G4V.CAB FOLDER06607260M/1/3550-win10-A03-DJGM7.CAB

@jmcwatty I am still having the same issue with this version. Attempted to download Latitude 5511 drivers: ======== Dell ConfigMgr Latitude 5511 DRIVER PROCESSING STARTED ======== 1/1/1601 12:00:00 AM 0 (0x0000) |
|
@DewayneHyatt I just ran it with that model and it worked correctly. Did you run it using the DriverAutomationTool.ps1 file that I committed? If you are running any other ps1 file or .exe then it will still have the same issue. ======== Dell ConfigMgr Latitude 5511 DRIVER PROCESSING STARTED ======== |
|
My apologies, I was still using the exe shortcut out of habit. I ran the updated .ps1 directly and was able to pull down the 5511 drivers. Thanks for your work on this! |
|
No worries! Glad it worked for you!! |

@jmcwatty I have yet to try this patch however I think the issue with Dell goes deeper. It would seem the latest driver packs are not downloading via the tool (5400 is downloading A03 when A08 the latest). It seems Dell has changed their downloads page to redirect to their support page, and I suspect this change is causing issues for this tool. Please confirm. Both http://downloads.dell.com and http://dl.dell.com now redirect to https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us |
|
@maurice-daly @jmcwatty Any comment regarding the URL redirect Dell recently implemented? Both http://downloads.dell.com and http://dl.dell.com now redirect to https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us. I am wondering if this recent change is causing some of the recent Issues regarding Dell driver downloads? https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000123981/downloads-dell-com-web-html-pages-retiring |

@strict68 I would give the DriverAutomationTool.ps1 that I updated a try. It resolved all of the issues that I was having with downloading Dell drivers. |
|
For now if you use the 6.5.0 beta build it should help with several issues including Lenovo downloads also. I’ll have a production 6.5.1 build out later next week. |
|
@maurice-daly I was having the issue with version 6.4.9 and the 6.5.0 Beta client. |
|
Could you please let me know what models you are having issues with? |
|
@maurice-daly The Dell Precision 3550 and the 3551 are the ones that I have done all of my testing with. |
|
I was having issues with the Latitude 5511.

I have ran into this problem with the 9410 as well. Using the PS script from this pull request resolves the download error. |
Hi, do you know when the 6.5.1 version will be released. We are waiting for the new version with 20h2. |
|
When will support for Windows 10 20H2 be added? |
|
Hi Maurice, I know you have many things on the go right now and only so much time to work on stuff these days. I was just wondering when we could expect the 6.5.1 build. I'm a huge fan of this entire suite of tools, and have recently implemented (once again) the full ConfigMgr toolset for our new parent company after an acquisition. I can not say how much I appreciate the work you've put into this and how much time you save me on a monthly basis. With that said, there is a real desire to move to 20H2 in my org, and I've noticed this issue with the cabs not selecting the right version. Is this something that is likely to be possible for you to resolve in the near-term? |
