DCCU package in PE?

snapdad · 05-08-2009, 02:09 PM

Has anyone ever ran a Dell Client Configuration Utility package in a Windows PE session?

What I want to do is schdule an automation job in DS that runs a DCCU package to config the bios settings and enter the assettag into the bios.

This is the job I created to try and do this:

Code:

.\dccu\settings.exe -assettag:%ASSETTAG%

This job errors out with error code 3.
In PE the error message is: "The program .\temp\5012829.bat returned with an exit code 3."

I do not see 5012829.bat in the .\temp directory.

I am running this on a machine that was imported into DS with the asset tag field populated.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

It has been a while since I played with the DTK. Don't suppose you tried booting the PC into WinPE with a DS WAIT job and then worked within the CMD manually?

Yes, I tried that. When I do this it appears the exe runs, but when I check the Bios nothing has changed.

I took a quick look at the DCCU requirements and saw .NET is required. Windows PE does not come with .NET framework.

Guess you are running into a good hiccup.
