1. Put the BatteryUpdate1.4.pkg into your JSS.=20

2. Via policy or remote, install the package. As part of the same =
policy/remote action, force a reboot.=20




I think this might work because the kb says, essentially, that you install =
the pkg, then on the next reboot, your battery gets updated.=20




In general, you can't automate firmware updates because they require =
physically interacting with the hardware. Based on my read of this kb =
article, there's no physical button to press, so this one is at least =
worth testing.=20
