Applying INI or CCTK le
The prerequisites for applying INI le or CCTK le are as follows:
• Administrator privileges
• Dell Command | Congure installed on the client system
To apply INI le or CCTK le, run cctk -i <filename>.
NOTE: For systems running Ubuntu Core operating system, copy the le at var/snap/dcc/current and run, dcc.cctk -i /var/
snap/dcc/current/<lename>.ini
Applying a shell script on Linux
1 Copy the script to a system running the Linux operation system.
2 Run dos2unix on the system.
3 Run the script as: sh <filename.sh>
Applying a SCE le
NOTE
: You must have Administrator privileges.
To apply SCE on a target system:
Double-click the SCE, or from the command prompt, browse to the directory where SCE is located and type the name of the SCE le.
For example, C:\Users\SystemName\Documents>"<lename>”.
NOTE
: You cannot run SCE on Windows PE systems. For more information on applying SCE on target systems running
the Windows PE operating systems, see Troubleshooting.
NOTE: The generated SCE le does not work on non WMI-ACPI
system.
SCE details
Some of the common scenarios in which you might use SCE are:
• When you apply SCE on a target system, it performs a silent installation for the BIOS settings on the target system. When the
installation is complete, SCE generates a log le with the SCE name at the same location. The log le contains all the applied options
and the status of the SCE le.
NOTE
: To generate the log le in the required location, specify the location of the log le. For example, SCE.exe /
l="<folder_path>\log.txt".
• When you apply SCE on a target system from a read-only location, provide the /nolog option to prevent generation of the log le. For
example, SCE.exe /nolog. The /nolog option helps the SCE to run successfully and informs that a log le is not created as SCE is in
a read-only location.
• If you run SCE from a read-only location without providing /nolog, then SCE fails to run.
• To apply SCE on Windows PE, extract SCE from a system running the Window operating system using the /e option. For example,
SCE.exe/e=<folder_path_to extract SCE>.
• If you have congured a setup or system password on the target system, and while exporting SCE, if you have not provided the same
password in the Setup, System, or Hard Disk Drive Password screen, then you cannot double-click and apply SCE on the target
system. However, while applying SCE from the command prompt, you can provide the setup or system password of the target system.
