Running During OSD

PreviousAdding to OSDNextTSGui

Last updated 8 months ago

So to run this during OSD I use the following steps.

The Configure Dell Command Update step that sets the bios password that Dell Command Update will use when updating the bios of the machine thats running the task sequence.

cmd.exe /c start /wait "" "c:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /configure -biosPassword=BiosPassword

The next step Dell Command Update Run 1 actually runs Dell Command Update, and then querys the machine for what it needs. Downloads and installs whats required. 

cmd.exe /c start /wait "" "c:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /applyUpdates -updateType=bios,firmware,driver,others -reboot=disable -autoSuspendBitLocker=enable -outputLog=c:\temp\OSDdcu.log -forceupdate=enable

The other Dell Command Update run steps, just run the same command as above to check for more drivers that might be required. The only differnce is that the output log file has its own name per run.
