Struggling to get DCU to run during the TS. Below is what my setup looks like (took these from someone elses post). Using DCU 5.1.0. I can briefly see the cmd window open during the TS but it quickly closes. What am I doing wrong?

Step name: Dell Driver Install (x64)

Run Command Line:

cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /driverInstall -reboot=disable -outputLog=C:\DellDriversDuringImaging.log

Step name: Restart Computer to OS

Step name: Dell Update Install (x64)

Run Command Line:

cmd.exe /c "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /ApplyUpdates -updatetype=BIOS,firmware,driver -reboot=disable -outputLog=C:\DellUpdatesDuringTS.log

Good evening everyone.

So, I created a powershell script to update a number of pc's (same model-dell). The issue is that when the script runs dell command update, a black cmd screen pops up on the user's display. Is there a way to prevent this popup from appearing?

This is the code I'm using atm:

# Dell Command Update

# Define paths and options for Dell Command Update

$dellCommandUpdatePath = "C:\Program Files\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe"

$logFolderPathDCU = "C:\Logs\DellCommandUpdate"

I've tested this script on my desktop, and it's been running smoothly. I'm reaching out for help, not criticism, and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me find out the problems I'm having when deploying the Dell Command Update and update using SCCM. Specifically, I'm running into error messages, namely, 0x1(1) and 0x2(2).

It's worth noting that when these error messages appear, I've noticed that the Dell Command Update seems to have been installed when I check the "Add or Remove Programs" section. However, beyond this observation, it appears that nothing else is progressing. Clicking "retry" seems to restart the installation process but then stops. Any help with this matter would be highly appreciated.
