• FAQ (26): I installed a different version/version of Windows and now SDM will not show me updates.

  I installed a different version/version of Windows and now the SDM does not work in "Update" mode

  This can occur when some system that HP did not specifically tests with the model is installed and often happens with models and Windows Ultimate edition (or even 64-bit editions on some older models) before Windows 8 Ultimate.
  
  Because SDM detects the new operating system, but it cannot match in the SDM catalog, he (SDM) will disable mode "Update."  However, please note that you can still use SDM mode 'All products' to download your SoftPaqs by doing as follows (the Probook 4730 s is used as an example):

  1. Press the "view all products" in the SDM toolbar
  2. If a dialog box warning that "no operating system have been selected, then skip to step.
  3. Press OK to close the dialog box.
  4. Check the «Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 Edition»
  5. Click on the tab "language filter".
  6. 'English - International' is checked.
  7. Press the OK button.
  8. Now, expand the tree on the left side of the SDM application by selecting the following:
  9. HP Probook Notebook PC Series 4700
  10. HP Probook 4730 s Notebook PC
  11. Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition 64
  12. Check the box 'international - English.
  13. Press the button "find available SoftPaqs.
  14. After "things calm down", click on the button "See the last SoftPaqs" at the top right of the application of SDM.

  The latest list of the Softpaqs for your model should now be displayed. We recommend that you download all listed SoftPaqs. This whole new way SoftPaqs are released for this model will appear on the top list titled "Available SoftPaqs" display.

  To install a SoftPaq after downloading, do the SoftPaq to the ListView "Downloaded SoftPaqs" right click and select "install SoftPaq.

  Important note: most SoftPaqs listed using the method above should apply to your model, but a small number of SoftPaqs might not be applicable to your model due to the offers of different material for your model. This means that not all listed SoftPaqs will install on your model and that is normal.

• Improvements of the SSM/SDM

  I don't know if there is a forum for the SSM. SSM is part of the SDM so this forum seems OK to me. If there is a forum separate SSM please let me know.
  Sorry if I look like a b * but I don't see any alternative to SDM/SSM. I think that the SDM is good single-use PC. SDM for enterprise is not all good.

  First, here is how you use SSM.
  All first using SDM. Select all the computer models and operating systems do you use in your company.
  Second; Select download and extract. Third; Then update SSM database and install the network drivers.

  Here is my list of complains:

  When downloading files and extract them I usually get the path is too long and cannot be extracted. I extracted the D:\Drivers path. I found myself in the extraction of the drivers at D:\D
  If we have installed the network drivers it fails during the installation of the network drivers. Somehow, it's logical and solution would be to copy the files locally before running DFS. However SDM I cannot sort the drivers extracted using model. Resulting in almost 100 GB of files copying and 80% is not necessary due to bad model.

  My list of feature enhancements / SSM/SDM.

  SDM
  Add feature to extract to < model > \ \softpaq < category > name >. < model > should be my model selected in the view of three and not supported models for the pilot.
  Add feature to command line to select compatible drivers SSM only.
  Add feature to command line to exclude certain categories. Example: SOFTPAQDOWNLOADMANAGER. /Exclude EXE: "Software - security", "diagnosis".
  There is a bug in SDM. It does not unzip subst readers.

  SSM
  When running the network. Do the SSM driver to install in two phases. The first phase. Query the computer and database SSM. Copy all necessary store softpaq to local disk files. The second phase. Install the drivers from local drive.

  Difficulty for HP softpaqs.
  Shorten the paths for softpaqs to maximum 100-130 characters.
  I used to have drivers nvidia reboot the machine when installed with SSM. Forcing me to rerun SSM again after the reboot. I ended up not used drivers Nvidia packed by HP (they do not work with MDT update 1 2012 either). Instead, I use Nvidia drivers from the Microsoft catalog.

  Thanks for the suggestions.
  
  SSM does not currently have a forum, but I think that they are planning to have a. In the meantime, I'll pass your suggestions to their development team.

  I will also pass suggestions of SDM at SDM development team.

• How to exclude software is inaccessible from SDM

  I'm trying to remove some software, we don't use SDM so that it never installed on any computers screw SSM.

  Examples: HP protect tools, McAfee Total Protection ect. Face recognition software (our laptops don't have webcams) Manager software, Hp support and many other things.

  I can't find a way to get rid of it or can download them.

  I tried to simply delete the folders. but it just comes back.

  What are the steps to uninstall SDM, so SSM installs ever?

  Currently, it has no feature in SDM which excludes software be available from SDM.
  
  Would not hurt to write an email detailing how you would consider such a feature to work to support the implementation of SDM SDM team.

• FAQ (25): SDM offers to install SoftPaqs that are already installed.

  
  

  SDM is based on SSM-compliance to detect the version of already installed SoftPaqs. Needless to say that, if there are errors in the file CVA SSM-compliance then SDM may not report the State installed the affected SoftPaqs. This will manifest itself as one of the following:

  1. A reported SoftPaq not installed over and over again.
  2. A reported SoftPaq having himself as the update.

  Note: given that SDM installs the SoftPaqs silently (no dialog boxes with all default values) accepted, any error messages that hint at what the problem might be also will not appear. In this case, try to install the SoftPaq manually in folllwing instructions on this post:

  /T5/HP-SoftPaq-Download-Manager/FAQ-18-what-should-I-do-if-a-SoftPaq-does-not-install/m-p/2414809#M341

  Important note: in some cases, a reboot is required to complete the SoftPaq installation. Before you continue, please restart and rerun the SDM.

  If you want confirmation that the a specific SoftPaq may have trouble with SSM-compliance, please send MDS support team, a newspaper SDM of the session after finishing SDM file tries to install the SoftPaq in question and they can do.

  However, this only expertise team being with SDM technical issues and not individual SoftPaqs which are released by a completely different entity, they will ask you to declare the SoftPaqs complained to HP support.

  To report problems with individual SoftPaq SSM-compliance, please contact HP support at http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/wwcontact_us.html

• FAQ (24): SDM won't install after upgrade to win 8

  I have upgraded to Windows 8 and now the SDM will not be installed. Why is this?

  HP SoftPaq Download Manager (SDM) requires .NET 3.5. Windows 8 has native support for .NET 4.x.
  
  Unfortunately, .NET 4.x is unlike .NET 3.5 where 3.5 reflected in support for 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 all in one.  In our humble opinion, .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5 must have been called 2.1 and 2.2 .NET, .NET respectively.
  
  From .NET 4.0, Microsoft, is not including backwards support for .NET 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5.
  
  Fortunately, in Windows 8, the .NET Framework 3.5 comes with the operating system. However, it is disabled by default.
  
  To activate the .NET 3.5 in Windows 8, follow these instructions:

  • Set up the 'Control Panel'.
  • Click the "programs and features".
  • Select "Turn Windows fearures on or off" (located at the top left of the window.
  • In the dialog box, check the option ".NET Framework 3.5 (including .NET 2.0 and 3.0).
  • Click on the Ok"" button.

  The SDM installation should work after that.

• FAQ (30): SDM can save the model named directories?

  I like to keep SoftPaqs separated by the name of the model.
  
  In the Options of Configuration/Tools, there is a way to download SoftPaqs and separate them by SoftPaq names. Is it possible to separate them by a model/product name?

  

  No, but you can download and save SoftPaqs for download different directories (directories may have another name, including model names) by making use of SDM in mode 'All products' and 'building Driver Pack"SDM.

  To do this, select the template that you want, then go to Tools/Configuration Options and change the name of the download directory for the model name/number. When you set up the configuration if you wish, save by selecting file/save or file/save product Configuration under. We recommend saving all your SDM configurations in the same folder for easy selection.

  When you are ready to load a configuration, simply select file/load Configuration of the product.

  For more information on the SDM Configurations, please see using the application.

• FAQ (28): why SDM displayed everything available for a newly released operating system SoftPaqs?

  A new operating system was recently released and SDM appears not all SoftPaqs support this new OS mode 'all products '. Why?

  If you use SDM in "Update" mode, you can view FAQS (20) (/t5/HP-SoftPaq-Download-Manager/FAQ-20-quot-This-specific-model-could-not-be-matched-All-models/td-p/5317159) and then continue reading below.
  
  There are three reasons why this might be the case:

  1. Not all HP models have required or recommended hardware specifications to run new operating systems.
     A rule of thumb to consider is that the more recent model is, more it is likely that SoftPaqs favourable to a new operating system will be released on the said model. In the past, a "cut-off" line seems to be about 3 years old. However, HP reserves the right to change at any time.
  2. It takes time to qualify for the new operating system software.
     A rule of thumb to consider is that the most recent model, the earlier SoftPaqs will be released which are supported on a new operating system. For example: a model that is only a year old, will probably updated before a model that is two years old.
     
     Note: in the above two cases, a way to check is to visit http://www.hp.com/support and go to the download page for your model. If the new operating system is listed and SoftPaqs support, then SDM will support it as well.
  3. If you use the 'All products' mode, there is a filter of BONE that is still active. If you have already used the 'All products' mode, SDM is always apply this filter that will probably not include any newly released operating system. Please, go to the Configuration Options and select all editions of the newly released operating system.

  

• FAQ (27): the SDM requires administrator rights to run?

  When I launch SDM, it happens with this dialog box. Is this normal?

  

  Yes. SDM requires administrator rights because it requires the appropriate rights to update or apply SoftPaq updates to your computer.

  The above message appears only if UAC (User Access Control) is turned on and that the user doesn't have administrator rights. For more information about UAC, please visit this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control

  UNFORTUNATELY, the SDM version 3.5.0.0 (later from this post) has a problem where it wrong will not recognize the user as administrator if UAC is enabled.

  If you have the SDM version 3.5.0.0, have active UAC and you are logged on under an account that has administrator rights and SDM displays the dialog box above, please note that this is a bug found ONLY in the SDM 3.5.0.0 version and will be fixed with the next version.
  
  In the meantime, there are two solutions we can suggest you to work around this problem:

  (1) Although not recommended, you can disable UAC and reboot for the changes to take effect. We do not recommend this approach because UAC protects the computer against attacks. We include this option only for purposes of completeness.

  2) RECOMMENDED WORKAROUND: Force MDS to start with administrator right.  To do this, please follow these steps to work around the problem, until a new version of SDM is available:

  1. Open Windows Explorer.
  2. Go to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Hewlett-Packard\HP SoftPaq Download Manager. Note: If you have a 32-bit operating system, navigate to C:\Program Hewlett-Packard HP SoftPaq Download Manager.
  3. Right click on the file "SoftPaqDownloadManager.exe".
  4. Select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.

• How can I change my laptop PC screen to 1.SDM - X 93

  My online window does not fill the entire screen 15 inches from my PC.  There is a margin at the top where I can see my desktop. There are a few windows where I don't see top and bottom at the same time.  I tried to change the resolution without success. In the window "change the look of your view", the readings display , 'Laptop' instead of the LCD screen, '1. SDM - X 93 ", which is what I think I need to get a resolution of 1280 x 1024. I want to use the setting recommended, but for my computer, not a mobile device.

  Hey AlethaPatricelli,

  Take a look at the answer provided in the nets below the link to see if these measures in this case as well.
  Cannot save the settings display and multiple monitors

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  Also try to use this Microsoft Fix It to see if it can automatically identify or solve the problems:
  Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

  Hope that helps.

• SDM &amp; IPS

  Hi all

  I started to learn Cisco? s new tool SDM and I have a few questions regarding the IP addresses and its signature files.

  I plan to enable IPS as its ease of configuration is quite simple and it is more useful.

  I intend to load predefined advanced signature files? attack - drop.sdf? and? 256MB.sdf?

  The first question I have is how are these files updated by Cisco and is there any means of communication regarding when these files are updated so that it customers are aware and that they have the ability to load new types of attacks from most recent signatures, etc.

  My second question is, with the two mentioned above advanced signature files, that would suffice as a company IPS? I'm not interested in writing my own signatures. I prefer to monitor and prevent known and typical attacks more common.

  I hope that by updating the two predefined of signature files? attack - drop.sdf? and? 256MB.sdf? When they are updated this will be enough.

  Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you in advance.

  See you soon,.

  Hi Christophe,

  IOS IPS on the routing platform now supports two different versions of the signature format. A 4.x and 5.x signature format.

  If you use the version of IOS before 12.4 (11) T version, he uses the signature 4.x format. In this version, you must use the basic (128MB.sdf) and the advanced SDF (256MB.sdf) file.

  If you use 12.4 (11) T and later version of IOS is based signature 5.x format. And you can see the quick start guide in the link of reference for more details below.

  Cisco updates these files on a need basis. Currently, you need to check the website of Cisco for updates. Or if you use SDM or CSM, these software can perform a check and auto download as well.

  For your question if it is adequate for a company of IPS, the answer depends on your networking/traffic situation in your actual deployment. If you can provide more details, I can better answer your question. If you ask about the signature series, they are selected by Cisco with high severity, signatures of high-fidelity that best integrate into the routing platform. Again, these Homeless files are intended to provide a good/solid point of departure, the IPS system needs a few adjustments during the operation.

  Reference:

• 2.4 SDM and IPS V5

  IPS V5 does not work with SDM? I get the message "Not supported IPS" using IOS 12.4 (11) T1. CLI show working IPS.

  SDM should 12.4 (11) T2 or image later to support IOS IPS format of signature 5.x due to some problems of IOS.

  For 12.4 (11) T1, the best option is to use CLI for now.

  Also, please see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6634/products_white_paper0900aecd805c4ea8.shtml

  Thank you

• Download SDM

  Hi guys. I am trying to download the sdm, but when I click on the link, I said that I need a service contract. So what is a service contract and how do I get one?

  She is to pay money at Cisco, perhaps via a partner:
