SExecute = WshShell.Run(sSetupCommand,1,True) Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") SSetupCommand = "hpsum.bat /use_wmi /use_latest /logdir C:\HPSPPLogs /silent" This can be accomplished by using the following script: Dim sSetupCommand Since HP has decided to go their own way when it comes to exit codes, we need to have a wrapper interpreting the return codes from the installation. Move all of the contents of G:\HP\swpackages to the location in the Content Library. In my lab environment, I’ll be using the following location for the HP SPP files: Now that we have the files we need, it’s time to move them to the Content Library on your Primary Site server (or wherever your Content Library is located). It’s still a lot of data, and perhaps there could be some more cleaning done, but I’ll leave that up to each of you to decide on that. The orginal size of 3GB+ has now been decreased to about 1.2GB instead. When you run the command above, you’ll remove all of the unnecessary files that we won’t be needing when deploying the HP SPP for Windows servers.

Once you have downloaded the ISO, mount it and copy the folder below and all of its contents to a folder of your liking.
