Using The Standalone Application

You can apply SCE on the target system using the Dell Command | Configure standalone application in

one of the following ways:

• Double-click the SCE, or

• From the command prompt, navigate to the directory where SCE is located, and type the name of the

SCE file.

Example:

C:\Windows\DCC\SCE>"<filename>"

SCE silently installs the settings on the target system. When the installation completes, SCE generates a

text file with the same name at the same location. The text file contains all the applied options and the

status of execution for the SCE file.

If you have configured a setup or system password on the target system, and if you have not provided the

same password in the Validation Password dialog box while exporting SCE, (for more information, see

Exporting The BIOS Configuration File), SCE cannot be applied on the target system. However, while

applying SCE from the command prompt, you can provide the setup or system password of the target

system.

Example of providing setup password:

C:\Windows\DCC\SCE>"<filename>" --valsetuppwd=<password string>

Example of providing system password:

C:\Windows\DCC\SCE>"<filename>"--valsyspwd=<password string>
