Using the Import Server Utility
This section describes the various activities that you can perform using the
Import Server Utility. This utility is installed when you install Dell Lifecycle
Controller Integration for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager.
For information on installing Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for
ConfigMgr, see the Installation Guide.
The Import Server Utility enables you to:
• Import Dell servers that are not auto-discovered by Dell Lifecycle
Controller Integration for ConfigMgr, but are already part of the
ConfigMgr environment. After import, these servers are displayed under
All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers  Dell Imported Servers and you
can then use the Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for ConfigMgr
features to perform the various operations. For more information, see
Importing Dell Servers.
• Import system variables from an external file saved in a .CSV format to
systems within a collection. These variables are used when you create a
task sequence for deploying the operating system on servers. For more
information, see
Importing System Variables.
