Dell Command | Update - Archives?
Why do you want them? Many of these versions have various vulnerabilities that you won't want around. Ideally you should be using the most recent version that will successfully install on the device. I've been able to install 5.4 on devices going back to 2012? or so (Latitude e6410), though the only thing it tends to pick up are really old BIOS updates (because the OS install typically includes the requisite drivers for stuff that old).

October 4, 2024Those of you using Dell Command Update, how current are the BIOS versions?
What I've seen: website is most current, SupportAssist gets it shortly after, DCU gets it after SupportAssist. I'm not sure it's true, but I've always thought DCU was more enterprise focused and that Dell slow rolls the updates as a way to test them. At very least you could consider it different speed update channels and choose accordingly. More on reddit.com

August 20, 2025Automating Dell Command Update
I run this as an application towards the end of the TS then reboot with MDT and run it again followed by another reboot before finishing up the whole TS.
@echo off TITLE Running DELL Command Update... REM Checks for updated DELL Drivers using DELL Command Update CLI "C:\Program Files\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /configure -silent -autoSuspendBitLocker=enable -userConsent=disable "C:\Program Files\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /scan -outputLog=C:\dell\logs\scan.log "C:\Program Files\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /applyUpdates -reboot=disable -outputLog=C:\dell\logs\applyUpdates.log
It's pretty self explanatory but it configures it first, does a scan, then applies the updates and disables reboot so that MDT can do it instead. I run this against DCU 4.1.
I don't recommend silencing the Apply Updates stage (it isn't in that script above) because sometimes it can take a little while and not being able to see what it's doing can be nerve racking.

r/Dell on Reddit: Dell Command | Update - Archives?
October 4, 2024 -
Hi guys as the title suggests does anyone have archives of DCU for old versions prior to v4?
Reason why I ask is from the screenshot below we have various versions of DCU on the estate.
I have managed to get hold of legacy MSI installers for versions older than v5 but anything older than v4 I have come unstuck. Dell search is not great, if anyone has any sites that I can use that would be great as I am in the process of standardising old versions of DCU for a client they have over 40+ versions on their estate. Using MSI installers I have managed to uninstall some of the older versions but getting hold of later versions is a pain. I have tried using scripts but some of the scripts have borked the uninstalls where remnants of DCU have been left behind and it has corrupted the installation voiding being able to install newer versions.
Below is the various versions of DCU we have on our estate
DCU | Windows 10
DCU | Update
DCU | Update Windows Universal

r/SCCM on Reddit: Those of you using Dell Command Update, how current are the BIOS versions?
August 20, 2025 -
We currently use OSDCloud for OSD and it has a piece that updates the BIOS. It works okay but it's generally kind of far behind. For example, the Dell Pro Max Tower T2 is like three versions behind. I notice the msendpointmgr tool is also not current with what's on Dell's website. From what I can tell they seem to use some version of an XML, from Dell, to get the download links for BIOS and driver packs.
That's probably okay, but I was looking into Dell Command Update and was curious if it's going to return the same versions that are in the XML. If it doesn't show a BIOS version that was released last week then I am fine with that. I just wanted to know if it's going to be any more up-to-date compared to other tools out there.

Depends on whether you want to manage settings or not. Most times it is pretty real-time time but there are times when it will be about a week behind. If you manage settings via Intune or GPO you can set it to show updates older than x number of days. Otherwise, it is a very useful tool for managing BIOS, drivers, and Dell Applications
