Using Dell Command | Integration Suite

for System Center 2012

Before you begin using Dell Command | Integration Suite for System Center 2012 , make sure that the

target Dell client systems are provisioned and present under All Systems on the Configuration Manager

console. For more information on provisioning through Configuration Manager, see the Microsoft

TechNet article at technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682144.

You can use Dell Command | Integration Suite for System Center 2012 to perform the following tasks:

• Create Dell Windows PE boot images

• Create Dell client driver packages

• Import Dell client packages

• Create a bare-metal task sequence

Managing And Updating Distribution Points

Update the distribution points before creating a task sequence. To update and manage distribution

points:

1. Launch the Configuration Manager console.

2. Click Software Library.

3. Expand Overview → Application Management. → Packages and click Dell Client Deployment.

4. Right-click Client Custom Reboot Script and click Distribute Content.

The Distribute Content Wizard screen is displayed.

5. Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions to distribute content to the distribution points.

6. If the packages were not distributed while they were being created, repeat step 3 and step 4 to

ensure that the client system is able to access the packages during an operating system installation.

Creating A Dell WinPE Boot Image

The Dell Command | WinPE Driver Library Import feature allows you to create Dell Windows

Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) boot images in two ways: using the streamlined, Dell Update/

Support site import option to import up to five cab files at a time for automated injection into your WinPE

boot image, or by using the Local Driver Library option to import the drivers included in one locally-

stored cab file at a time.

NOTE: You must use an account that has administrator privileges in order to create a Dell WinPE

Boot Image. User accounts without administrator privileges will encounter permission errors

involving the SMS share and installation folder.
