Provisionning – Alternative to Ivanti HII

Previously I used a batch script for driver management. It works, but requires exact model names. Because PowerShell isn’t available natively in provisioning WinPE, it was not convenient to use directly.

HII.ps1

Using PS2EXE, you can convert a .ps1 to .exe so the PowerShell logic runs in WinPE without PowerShell installed.

PowerShell script (example)

Adapt paths to your production layout. The script expects the driver source root as a parameter (-path).

    [parameter(Mandatory=$true)][String]$path

The PowerShell EXE requires the driver source path as an argument (e.g., mapped share or local folder).

HII.cmd (Custom Legacy solution)

Description

I don’t use Ivanti’s LANDESK HII, but a custom script:

https://github.com/DavidWuibaille/IVANTI/tree/main/Provisionning_Hii

Example layout: unzip to a shared directory (preferred server).

Update HII.bat to:

Add your workstation models
Add operating systems if needed
Adjust the path(s) used

Provisioning task

Modify your provisioning to use the batch/EXE approach:

Map a network drive (preferred server). Use the same drive letter referenced in HII.bat.

Mapping a network drive for provisioning task

Run HII.bat

Then run C:\drivers\install.bat (uncheck “stop task on error”).

This lets you call a model-specific install.bat. For setup-based drivers, place the installer under C:\drivers\<Model> and call it silently, e.g. C:\drivers\X\setup.exe /s.
