Importing the HP ElitePad 900 Driver Pack
The HP ElitePad 900 driver pack can be imported into MDT the typical way other drivers are imported into MDT. The drivers
should all be placed into a folder in MDT. The driver pack does contain one item that requires additional setup (see HP
ElitePad 900 Driver & Firmware Update Setup for details).
When using the drivers in the driver pack, the drivers must be placed into a selection profile. This will be needed when
configuring the task sequence.
