This method worked for me: 1- Remote install Command Update 2 - Copy the exported Settings.xml file to the target PC C:\Temp directory 3 - Run remotely this cmd command:      'C:\Program Files\Dell\CommandUpdate\'dcu-cli.exe /configure -importSettings=C:\Temp\Settings.xml If you need to set BIOS password this is it: 'C:\Program Files\Dell\CommandUpdate\'dcu-cli.exe /configure -biosPassword='Test1234' Answer from Paxinator on dell.com

Dell Command Update not updating BIOS to latest version
So, my command is: cmd /c dcu-cli.exe /applyupdates -updatetype=bios,firmware -reboot=disable -forceUpdate=enable -outputlog=c:\temp\DCULog-EXE-BIOS.log And yeah, my 5430s are pulling that too. I don't think it's an issue of what you're doing, but I think it's too new: The 1.19.0 just came out. Either by design or... 'bad design', DCU lags behind 'when the full release hits'. So I would say it's... 'normal'. More on reddit.com

r/Intune on Reddit: Dell Command Update with XML
February 11, 2023 -

Trying to push out the newest DCU with an xml file for the settings that I want to use. I’ve looked on YouTube, Dell and here for answers but still cannot seem to find anything that works. I’m looking for the simplest solution. I don’t write scripts and am just a desktop support technician so this is new for me.

Right now I’m using the MSI and have tried bundling into intunewinapp as well as LOB but cannot seem to get it to pick up the XML file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
