A script to download CAB files from Dell

## Getting Started

The following variables can be modified:
* driverCatalog: URL to download CAB files

* monthsBack: download drivers pack newer than X month. 0 equal no time limit
* models: filter CAB files according to the requested models
* operatingSystems: filter CAB files according to the operating systems requested

### Prerequisites

* removes old packages when a new one is downloaded

It is possible to filter according to:
* computer models
* operating systems
* processor architecture
* age of CAB files

## Exemple

Download CAB files less than 12 months old
> .\Get-DriversPackFromDell.ps1 -monthsBack 12

Download CAB files less than 6 months old corresponding to x86 or x64 architectures and Windows 7 or 10 operating systems :
> .\Get-DriversPackFromDell.ps1 -architectures x86,x64 -operatingSystems Windows10,Windows7 -monthsBack 6
