r/SCCM on Reddit: How do I install Dell Command Update with the GUI via task sequence?
August 18, 2021 -
Anyone done this yet? I have it installing as an MSI but it does not install the GUI portion of the program, just the command line. That part has been working good. I'm trying this option:
msiexec /i "DellCommandUpdateApp4_3.msi" /qb /norestart
But I think the switches are just for the actual install itself and not the final product correct? Is there a way to do this?

Wish I knew myself. All i can get for it to install during a task sequence is the command line. The GUI seems to be a Windows modern app and I can't find out how to launch it otherwise.

I figured out the process to silently deploy version 3.0.1 with MDT and I'm posting it here in that it might help others out and maybe someone will have a solution for the one minor issue I have after it's installed. Step 1: Installed Command Update on a regular Dell PC and then looked at the installation log file at the end of the installation wizard. In that log it should show the path to the MSI it extracted. Mine was 'C:\WINDOWS\{D4373260-1185-49AC-993B-A31209FBD6CC}\DellCommandUpdateApp.msi' Step 2: Copied that MSI to my deployment server and added a new MDT application and used the following install command 'msiexec /i DellCommandUpdateApp.msi /passive /norestart' Step 3: Run a computer through the MDT process and check that Command Update did get installed (we are using Windows 10 1809). Almost all of the time the program shortcut does not show up in the start menu, like a previous posted mentioned. Step 4: Go to the Windows 10 'Apps & Features' settings, scroll down to 'Dell Command | Update', click Advanced Options and then scroll down and click 'Reset'. The Start Menu shortcut should be restored without requiring a reinstall. Now it would be great if I didn't have to do Step 4 so if anyone has any ideas how to clean it up through the MDT process it would be appreciated.

I'm having exactly the same issue...in the users guide, it refers to installing using DCU_Setup_3_0_0.exe /s /v'/qn' , however, this file doesn't exist. Alternatively, I've tried to install using Dell-Command-Update_4374J_WIN_3.0.0_A00.exe /s in my package to deploy the software...it does install it (it's in Add/Remove programs), however there is no way to run it - no files show in the start menu. I've had to uninstall and reinstall using this command manually, and then everything works...but that isn't going to fly for multiple PC SCCM deployments. Have even tried to extract the DellCommandUpdateApp.msi file and create a package, but this doesn't work either. Finally, I extracted the DellCommandUpdateApp_Setup.exe file, but no matter which switches I'm using, I can't get this to run from my Task Sequences. So I can't answer your enquiry, but I'm hoping Dell or another contributor might have some ideas how to fix this issue.

so you went here: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/7534.dell-command-update and downloaded, extracted the contents, and read the PDF documentation? (for DCU_Setup_2_3_1.exe) For silent installation using the installation command line, use the command DCU_Setup_2_3_0.exe /s /v”/qn” For silent installation using Dell Update Packages (DUPs), use the executable file Sys-Man_Application_xxxxx_WN_y.y.y_A00.exe /s, where ‘x’ is the software build and ‘y’ is the version number.

We recently did a slow release by installing Dell Command Update in new images (so not directly from Intune) and configuring it to update itself via the Intune ADMX. So right now, only about 5% of devices have Dell Command Update. We have it configured to update once per month.
How has it worked for you? Do you have any horror stories? Do you have any config recommendations?
