Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK)
During OS deployment, you may want to confirm BIOS settings. For example:
 Change the Boot controller mode between AHCI/ATA/IRRT
 Enable/Disable TPM
Dell™ Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) is packaged software that provides BIOS configuration
capabilities for Dell Business Client Platforms – OptiPlex, Latitude and Precision™. The product provides
a graphical interface to create a self-contained package for distribution within the Systems Center
environment. You can use the generated package in a pre or post OS deployment environment.
Alternatively, CCTK has a command-line utility to enable BIOS configuration using scripting facilities
provided within Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). For the client systems
that do not have an operating system installed, you can create a bootable image that contains the
latest version of CCTK to run BIOS configuration actions.
