–Click Browse and select the path where the Dell Lifecycle Controller
bootable media is saved.

Setting A Default Share Location For The Lifecycle Controller
Boot Media .

Lifecycle Controller bootable media is located.

Task Viewer . To view the current tasks in
the queue and their status, open the
Task Viewer by clicking the Dell icon
on the task bar. For more information on

After a system with iDRAC receives the WS-MAN command, it reboots to
Windows PE and runs the advertised task sequence. It then automatically
boots to the Lifecycle Controller boot media, depending on the boot order
you created in the task sequence.
NOTE: If you want to update a system after you deploy the operating system, and
the system services are still unavailable, then you can reset the iDRAC using the
iDRAC web-based interface. For more information, see the Dell Lifecycle Controller
Remote Services User’s Guide
available at support.dell.com/manuals.
After the deployment is successful, the system with iDRAC moves to the
Managed Dell Lifecycle Controller (OS Deployed) collection under All Dell
Lifecycle Controller Servers.
NOTE: If you change the hostname of the target systems after you deploy the
operating system, the system continues to appear under the Managed Dell Lifecycle
Controller (OS Deployed) collection on the Configuration Manager console. You
do not need to re-discover the system when you change the hostname.
