Introduction 1 Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) is a packaged software offering that provides configuration capability to Dell business client platforms – OptiPlex, Latitude, and Dell Precision workstation. This product consists of a Command Line Interface (CLI) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) to configure various BIOS features.
Supported Systems And Operating Systems For the list of Dell business client systems and operating systems supported, see the Release notes.txt available in the CCTK installation files or at support.dell.com/manuals.
Command Line Interface 2 This chapter provides a general overview of the Dell Command Line Interface (CLI) utility. It explains how to run the commands and the syntax details of the command line options used to configure BIOS settings for the client systems. Running CCTK Commands You can run the Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) commands in two ways: • Using command prompt. For more information, see Using Command Prompt. • Using bootable image. For more information, see Using Bootable Image.
Command Line Syntax The general usage models of the CCTK utilities are as follows: CCTK --option1=[arg1] or cctk --option1=[arg1]...--optionX=[argX] NOTE: Some of the options in CCTK are followed by an asterisk. You can use such options only for reporting purposes and cannot use the reporting options with set options. The following table lists the generic command line characters and arguments present in the command line options with a short description of these characters. Table 1.
Command Line Option Delimiters The following table lists some examples of valid and invalid CCTK command line options. Table 2. Valid and Invalid Command Line Options Valid or Invalid CCTK Command Line Example valid cctk --option1 --option2 cctk --asset --mem invalid cctk --option1=[argument] --option2 --option3 cctk --asset=1750 --floppy -biosromsize valid cctk -o=filename --option1 --option2 cctk -o=/tmp/myfile.
Log Files The -l= or --logfile= option records information output on the command line to the specified log file. If the log file already exists, information is appended to the file. This allows multiple tools to use the same log file to record information. Use this option to record the output of a utility. The log duplicates all standard output and error information to the specified file. Each log file begins with a time stamp and utility name.
Client Configuration Toolkit Options 3 This chapter provides an overview of the Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK) options. It describes the general and BIOS options to configure settings for the client systems. CCTK options can be divided into: • General options — Applicable to all systems. • BIOS options — Applicable only if the BIOS of the system supports.
-i or --infile Valid Argument Description Directs the CCTK utility to take input from an .ini file. The utility searches the file for a CCTK heading identical to the utility name. An error is returned if the file or section is not found. If the section is found, each name/value pair is applied to the system. The names must match a valid option, and the arguments must be in the proper format for the option.
No option Valid Argument NA Description If an option is not given, the CCTK utility outputs usage information. The usage information is displayed in the format shown below. Example C:\>cctk Usage error. cctk Version 2.1.1 0498 (Windows - Sep 2 2012,03:29:08) Copyright (c) 2012 Dell Inc. Usage: cctk --option[=argument] For more information about a particular command, use the option '-h' followed by the command name.
NOTE: The maximum length of property ownership tag is 80 characters for desktops and 48 characters for laptop. Example C:\>cctk --propowntag --version Valid Argument Read-only Description Displays the version information, current time, and date for the utility. This is a read-only option.
