Portables Technology Dell Command Configure toolkit
Customers may also report that after a motherboard replacement, the asset field is already populated in the system BIOS, and
needs to be cleared or set. For older systems and all newer systems with the UEFI BIOS platform, customers can download the
Dell Command Configure Toolkit (DCC) to customize the BIOS options or even change the ownership or asset tag from within
Windows. This technology is described in Software and Troubleshooting section.
Systems management - From on-premises to the
cloud
Dell Client Command Suite - a free toolkit available for download, for all OptiPlex and Latitude PCs at https://dell.com/
command, automates and streamlines systems management tasks, saving time, money, and resources. It consists of the
following modules that can be used independently, or with a variety of systems management consoles such as SCCM.
Dell Command | Deploy enables easy operating system (OS) deployment across all major OS deployment methodologies and
provides numerous system-specific drivers that have been extracted and reduced to an OS-consumable state.
Dell Command l Configure is a graphical user interface (GUI) admin tool for configuring and deploying hardware settings in a
pre-OS or post-OS environment, and it operates seamlessly with SCCM and Airwatch and can be self-integrated into LANDesk
and KACE. Simply, this is all about the BIOS. Command l Configure allows you to remotely automate and configure over 150+
BIOS settings for a personalized user experience.
Dell Command l PowerShell Provider can do the same things as Command l Configure, but with a different method.
PowerShell is a scripting language that allows customers to create a customized and dynamic configuration process.
Dell Command l Monitor is a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) agent that provides IT admins with an extensive
inventory of the hardware and health-state data. Admins can also configure hardware remotely by using command line and
scripting.
Dell Command | Update (end-user tool) is factory-installed and allows admins to individually manage and automatically
present and install Dell updates to the BIOS, drivers, and software. Command l Update eliminates the time-consuming hunting
and pecking process of update installation.
Dell Command l Update Catalog provides searchable metadata that allows the management console to retrieve the latest
system-specific updates (driver, firmware or BIOS). The updates are then delivered seamlessly to end-users using the
customer's systems management infrastructure that is consuming the catalog (like SCCM).
Dell Command | vPro Out of Band console extends hardware management to systems that are offline or have an un-
reachable OS (Dell exclusive features).
Dell Command | Integration Suite for System Center - This suite integrates all the key components of the Client Command
Suite into Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 and Current Branch versions.
Dell Client Command Suite's integration with VMware Workspace ONE Powered by AirWatch, now allows customers to manage
their Dell client hardware from the cloud, using a single Workspace ONE console.

Manageability
Intel vPro and Intel Standard Manageability must be configured in the Dell factory at the time of purchase, as they are NOT field
ungradable. They offer out-of-band management and DASH compliance.
Intel vPro
Available with Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and offers the most complete set of out-of-band management features including
KVM, IPv6 support, graceful shutdown, and all the features from previous versions of vPro. It uses the latest version of Intel's
Active Management Technology (AMT).
