Dell Command | Update 4.8 for Win32 is Available Now!

Back by popular demand, the Dell Command team has reintroduced the Win32 version of Dell Command | Update 4.8 (DCU Classic).

 

By listening to our customers in their Update Management journey, we continuously heard loud and clear that they require a Win32 version of Dell Command | Update, for ease of deployment and manageability via Microsoft Intune, System Center Configuration Manager and Workspace One. 

 

As a result of this we have brought back the Classic Version of Dell Command Update v 4.8.0! 

 

We still continue to have a UWP version of Dell Command Update (Ver 4.8.0) as well, which can be found HERE

 

You can download the Classic Version of Dell Command Update (Ver 4.8.0) HERE

 

Along with the release of Ver 4.8.0 for Dell Command Update, we have addressed the following concerns that customers were having with the previously release version. 

Expect to find the following fixed in the newly released 4.8.0 version.

 

Fixes:

- Fixed the issue where the BIOS installation shows an error when you update it using the encryptedPasswordFile through the command line interface.

- Fixed the issue where the reboot notifications are not displayed when you start the Dell Client Management Service manually. This issue occurs when the system requires a reboot.

There is a problem with this product when using a tool like SCCM Application to install the software, and configure it.  The installation is fine, however when using dcu-cli /configure ...  (doesn't matter what command) the dcu-cli returns error code 2.

 

This is due to the fact that SCCM runs these installations using the SYSTEM account in non-interactive mode.  Apparently you're new version of dcu-cli doesn't like that and returns error code 2.

 

If it open a command prompt in the SYSTEM context, and run the same command, it's fine.  I know I'm not the only one with this problem because many on other sites report the same.  

Dell Command Update - Return Code 2 : SCCM (reddit.com)

I highly dislike reddit but this does prove I'm not the only one.  Some users are using serviceui.exe to wrap the installation command in it.  This, however, would give a pop-up on a user system -  even if brief - is unacceptable.

Please look into why the behavior has changed since 4.5 (which works fine).
