Other notes, this builds off my original post a few years back (when I used it in production). It's handy because if a new model comes in the door, you don't have any prep work, connect it up, and image, drivers and bios come right from Dell. I used to use this at my previous organization, with 30+ models and worked very well. I use this in my Lab, I have a Dell 7470, so that's the extent of my testing. If you don't have time to keep all of your driver packages updated for your 30,40,50 + Dell models in your environment, if you have good internet bandwidth on the clients, and you just want to make sure your machines are at the latest BIOS / Drivers at time of OSD, then this works pretty well.ĭisclaimer.

Why DCU (Dell Command Update)? Why not driver packages? First off, this solution isn't right for some, and frankly is a horrible solution in many environments, but for others, it can be a life saver. Updating BIOS & Drivers using a Task Sequence, OSD, IPU, Stand alone.
