Setup and Use
This section contains information on prerequisites and requirements to
use the Dell™ Client Deployment Pack for Microsoft
®
System Center
Configuration Manager (DCDP for ConfigMgr). It also lists steps to install
and uninstall the plug-in, and some typical console use cases.
Overview
The DCDP for ConfigMgr is an easy-to-use GUI-based tool to configure and
deploy your Dell client systems. The DCDP for ConfigMgr integrates directly
into the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (ConfigMgr)
console. It eliminates the need for command-line tools and scripts normally
used in the Client Configuration Toolkit.
Using the ConfigMgr Task Sequence Editor, you can perform the
following tasks:
• Configure the client system's BIOS using .ini files.
• Create a client system specific boot image used for operating
system deployment.
• Create and apply driver installation packages for specific operating systems.
To configure and deploy your Dell client systems, you need to select
configuration options and commands.
Prerequisites And Requirements
This section lists the prerequisites and requirements to use DCDP
for ConfigMgr:
• ConfigMgr 2007 SP1 should be installed on the client system. For details
on how to download and install ConfigMgr, see the Microsoft TechNet
site at
technet.microsoft.com .
• The client system should have at least 1 GB of free disk space to install the
Dell Server Deployment Pack.
• To run the ConfigMgr task sequences on your client system, you must
configure your
Network Access Account .
