Introduction
This guide provides information on software prerequisites and requirements
to setup Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration (DLCI) for Microsoft System
Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr). This guide lists the steps to
install, upgrade, and uninstall DLCI for ConfigMgr.
Prerequisites
You require familiarity with deploying operating systems using Dell Server
Deployment Pack for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
(DSDP for ConfigMgr) version 1.2 or later. For more information, see the
Dell Server Deployment Pack for Microsoft System Center Configuration
Manager User’s Guide available at support.dell.com/manuals.
Before you install DLCI for ConfigMgr, complete the following:
1
Configure an account for use with Discovery and Handshake. For more
information, see Configuring an Account for Use With Discovery and
Handshake.
2 Make sure that the software prerequisites and requirements are available.
For more information, see Software Prerequisites and Requirements.
3 Make sure that the component specific prerequisites are available. For
more information, see Component-Specific Prerequisites.
Configuring an Account for Use With Discovery and Handshake
If you do not want to use an administrator account for the provisioning server
to access the ConfigMgr Server, create a user account with minimal
permissions.
NOTE:
If you install DLCI by providing user credentials authenticated in Active Directory,
and then perform the discovery and handshake with a target system using a Non-
Active Directory authenticated user credentials, the discovery and handshake with
the target system fails; to resolve this, disable the Active directory credentials.
