Installing DLCI For Configuration Manager
The Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration (DLCI) for Configuration Manager installer contains two components — Dell
Lifecycle Controller Utility (DLCU) and Dell Provisioning Service (DPS).
DLCU is a plug-in for Configuration Manager; select this option when you have Configuration Manager installed on a site
