I have asked for many CLI enhancements, which would remove the need to even import a policy, as well as provide a BIOS password and have DCU suspend bitlocker with a parameter. I hear they will be updating 3.x to include CLI, but no ETA. Requirements: CCTK Package, (more about that later), Dell Command Update Package 2.4 (or use the step I created that downloads and installs DCU from the internet), Custom Policy.XML files (I've included mine in the download), ideally some idea of the Task Sequences I've provided for WaaS to understand the reporting steps.ĭo not use anything newer then 2.4 (at this time), 3.X currently has no CLI support. Please report any observations or tips in the comments, thanks. This works in OSD after the OS is laid down, it does not support WinPE, so if you want to update your BIOS in the WinPE stage.

It's handy because if a new model comes in the door, you don't have any prep work, connect it up, and image, drivers and bios come right from Dell. I used to use this at my previous organization, with 30+ models and worked very well. I use this in my Lab, I have a Dell 7470, so that's the extent of my testing.

If you don't have time to keep all of your driver packages updated for your 30,40,50 + Dell models in your environment, if you have good internet bandwidth on the clients, and you just want to make sure your machines are at the latest BIOS / Drivers at time of OSD, then this works pretty well.ĭisclaimer. Why DCU (Dell Command Update)? Why not driver packages? First off, this solution isn't right for some, and frankly is a horrible solution in many environments, but for others, it can be a life saver.
