Scheduling Automatic Search

The following are the benefits of using the Automatic Search feature to schedule an automatic download and/or build an

update repository from the support site:

• Downloading updates from Dell Support site for one or more Dell products based on the brands and/or service tags

can be scheduled. This schedule can be used to check and download updates periodically, during the off pick hours.

• Updates can be packaged in a Light Weight Deployment Pack (LWDP) available to be used directly to update the

systems. The update process can be automated with the help of the batch (.bat for Windows) or shell (.sh for Linux)

files created as part of the LWDP.
