We recommend the following configurations for these remote actions:
NameTriggerSchedule queryParameters to edit
Get Dell pending BIOS firmware and driver updatesScheduled, daily
devices during past 24h
| where device.hardware.manufacturer in ["Dell"]
| list device.name
  • DCU required version
  • DCU 64Bit download URL
  • DCU 32Bit download
Get HP pending BIOS firmware and driver updatesScheduled, daily

| where device.hardware.manufacturer in ["Hewlett-Packard"]
| list device.name
  • HPIA required version
  • HPIA tool download URL

| where device.hardware.manufacturer in ["Lenovo"]
| list device.name
  • repository_type
  • central_repository_url
  • maximum_delay_in_seconds
Invoke install Dell pending driver updatesManual, can be triggered on multiple devicesnone
Invoke install HP pending driver updatesManual, can be triggered on multiple devicesnone
### **Step 3 - Edit campaigns** Navigate to the [manage campaigns](https://nexthink.gitbook.io/opd/user-guide/campaigns/managing-campaigns) administration page to review and edit your campaigns. For each installed campaign, please ensure to: * Customize the sender name and image. * Review and adjust questions. * Publish the campaign when you are ready to use it. We recommend the following configurations for these campaigns: | Name | Trigger | Priority | | -------------------------- | ------------- | ---------- | | Update drivers - Invoke | Remote action | Not urgent | | Restart to update - Invoke | Remote action | Not urgent | | Update drivers - Completed | Remote action | Not urgent | ### Step 4 - Maintain workflow trigger This workflow is designed to run on a schedule. The recommended schedule is once per week, filtering out Dell and HP devices. **Recommended trigger configuration** Select the Schedule trigger and configure the NQL query according to the following example: **NQL:** CodeCopy ```nql_/apigateway/nql-editor devices during past 7d | where hardware.manufacturer in ["Dell", "HP"] | list device.name, device.entity, device.hardware.model ``` *** RELATED TOPICS * [Manage Live Dashboards](https://nexthink.gitbook.io/opd/user-guide/live-dashboards/managing-live-dashboards) * [Manage Remote Actions](https://nexthink.gitbook.io/opd/user-guide/remote-actions/managing-remote-actions) * [Usage guide: Driver compliance](/platform/library-packs/security-and-compliance/driver-compliance/usage-guide_-driver-compliance.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
