Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration for Microsoft System Center
Configuration Manager
Dell Lifecycle Controller Integration (DLCI) for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager provides
agent-free, OS and hypervisor agnostic configuration and update of Dell 11th, 12th, and 13th generation

configuring servers from a bare-metal state and preparing remote 1-to-many operating system (OS)
deployment.
At a high level, the remote enablement capabilities are:
• Auto-discovery
• Hardware configuration
• Firmware comparison and updates
• Remote OS-deployment for individual or a collection of Dell systems
