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 Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller using the iDRAC6 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 Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller moves to the
Managed Dell Lifecycle Controller (OS Deployed) collection under All Dell Lifecycle Controller Servers.

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.
