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.
Looking to see what is the best way you have implemented Dell Command Update?
Do you use Proactive Remediations?
We want the Dell Command Update version to update itself. So I looked into just building it as the Win32 without the Proactive Remediations.
What are your thoughts?
We are looking to roll out DCU to all our Dell laptops using MECM. That much is easy enough.
We would like to force the options in the scheduling tab. This includes update check frequency and forcing the option to automatically download and install updates and prompt for reboot.
I haven't been able to find much on this but it is possible my google skills are just failing me. I feel like there should be a way to complete this but perhaps there isn't.
Thanks in advance for any help!
As part of our laptop onboarding process we would like to update the Dell Command configuration so that all laptops have the same settings for BIOS updates etc.
Has anyone done this via autopilot when Dell Command is already installed?
We’re not yet using Autopilot, but you should be able to do this with the CLI (usually at C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe)
The formatting of the documentation isn’t ideal in my opinion, but you should be able to do most of what you’d want by calling this. https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/command-update/dellcommandupdate_rg/dell-command-|-update-cli-commands?guid=guid-92619086-5f7c-4a05-bce2-0d560c15e8ed&lang=en-us
EDIT: looks like there’s actually an import/export option under the /configure flag that would probably do just what you need
