By reviewing the assignment we see that HP Connect defaults to “ Repeats every day” schedule.

You should see a new script package with % HPConnectForMEM% as the name suffix.Navigate to MEM -> Reports -> Endpoint analytics -> Proactive remediations.Now what will happen is that HP Connect for MEM will create a Proactive Remediation for us with all settings needed (detection and remediation scripts).At Select Device Group: Select the dynamic Azure AD group we created in step 1.In this demo I will use “Keep BIOS of all devices always updated” but in production “Deploy only critical BIOS updates” would be a good use case (this is up to each company to decide).Follow the getting started guide above to connect HP Connect to MEM.I created a dynamic Azure AD group with this query to make a group containing just my HP EliteBook 850 G5.As for now HP Connect for MEM does not support Filters natively, but we will look at how to use a Filter and change the assignment later on. In this demo I will update a HP EliteBook 850 G5 to latest BIOS version. The first thing we need to do is decide whether we should deploy the policy to all HP models or to a specific one. Let’s rock enroll! 🔥 Deploy a BIOS Update policy (dynamic Azure AD group) Use the guide to connect HP Connect with MEM. Windows Pro edition is not supported by proactive remediation Get started with HP Connect for MEM Pre-RequisitesĪs stated above, “HP Connect for MEM” is utilizing Proactive Remediation which requires Windows Enterprise, Windows 10/11 Pro is not supported at this point. The end-user will receive a “Restart Prompt” to finalize the update. If there is a newer version the remediation script is used to download and apply the update. The detection script is used to identify each device’s current BIOS-version and then use HP API to determine if there is any new version to apply.

In short, “HP Connect for MEM” is utilizing Proactive Remediation to deploy a detection and remediation script. There are a few community-made solutions out there which are working really well and in this post we are going to have a look at a solution from HP called “HP Connect for MEM”. We know all about Windows and applications, but often times miss out on keeping the other layers such as firmware and BIOS up-to-date as those are typically just updated during OSD or during troubleshooting. Keeping our devices up-to-date is important.
