Updated Install-DellDriverCatalog.ps1

I updated the Install-DellDriverCatalog.ps1 up on my OneDrive account, since starting tomorrow I may not be able to update the file any more (Competition and all :^)…

Thanks to Mike Sobol for finding the error and reporting it,

Turns out that Dell changed the Schema of the catalog, forcing an update for some of the new Dell models like the E7250.

MDT ZTIDrivers.wsf will try to do a good job matching the driver package downloaded with the models identified during install, but sometimes we have a hard time matching the drivers in the catalog with the make and model of the machine because Dell doesn’t give an exact match to what is found in the BIOS/Firmware, instead we have to do an intelligent job of matching the values.

For the new models Dell lists the Model as:

    <SupportedSystems>
      <Brand key="4" prefix="LAT">
        <Display lang="en"><![CDATA[ Latitude ]]></Display>
        <Model systemID="062D">
          <Display lang="en"><![CDATA[ E7250/7250 ]]></Display>
        </Model>
      </Brand>
      <Brand key="4" prefix="LAT">
        <Display lang="en"><![CDATA[ Latitude ]]></Display>
        <Model systemID="0648">
          <Display lang="en"><![CDATA[ E7250/7250 ]]></Display>
        </Model>
      </Brand>
    </SupportedSystems>

As you can see the model is listed with a “/” in the name, which is different than the other machines.

So I changed the script to filter out the BIOS values.

I just wish Dell would be consistent with their naming structure, or at least list the model value as it appears in the BIOS.
