HPCatalogForSMS Issue

[jmw68]

I am having issues with MSEndpointMgr downloading the HP Softpaqs. It was just working a couple of weeks ago but now I am getting a "Start-BitsTransfer : HTTP status 404: The requested URL does not exist on the server" error when starting. I saw issue #232 and changed the $HPSoftPaqCab variable on line 11956 in the DriverAutomationTool.ps1 file to "https://hpia.hpcloud.hp.com/downloads/sccmcatalog/HpCatalogForSms.latest.cab". If I go directly to that URL on the server it downloads the file. When I look in the BITS-client log in Event Viewer it says "BITS stopped transferring the BITS Transfer transfer job that is associated with the https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software/sms_catalog/HpCatalogForSms.latest.cab URL. The status code is 0x80190194." So it looks like it is still trying to download from the old URL. Is there some other place that the download location is set that I am missing? I am using v6.4.9.

Same problem here, we use 6.5.2.

I have been working around the issue by manually downloading the hpCatalogForSms.latest.cab from https://hpia.hpcloud.hp.com/downloads/sccmcatalog/HpCatalogForSms.latest.cab and extracting the HP CatalogForSms.xml file. I also manually download the HPClientDriverPackCatalog.cab file from https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HPClientDriverPackCatalog.cab and extract the HPClientDriverPackCatalog.xml file. I then copy both xml files to the Driver Automation Tool\Temp directory on the server overwriting the existing files. This allows me to start the program and build my driver packages. I haven't had time to dig into this any further at this point.

Had the same problem. deleting both HPClientDriverPackCatalog.cab and HPClientDriverPackCatalog.xml solves the issue.
