HP Driver Packs

First order of business at my new job was to assist my SCCM Technical Analyst (TAn) with finding HP driver packs or cabs.

While talking with my TAns I learned that we are still developing images and having a hard time importing drivers from the installation disks for each system.  My SCCM TAn had experience with Dell and their driver cab files but had no luck locating HP cabs.  Some Googling and asking on SpiceWorks community pointed us to the driver packs.

New Job

Hello everyone,

So I don't recall if I publicly put this out but back in March I was let go from my last employer as there System Administrator/IT Support.  After a rough three months of searching, submitting resumes, meeting with placement companies I finally landed a new job.  As of July 2nd I accepted a job IT Manager at a School District.  The IT department consists of around 5 Technical Analysts and 6-8 Technical Assistants.  We support somewhere around 1000 faculty and 7800 students & parents.
