  2. Dell Command | Update Probe
  3. Dell Command | Update Analyses
  4. Dell Command | Update Driver Update

Installation of Dell Command | Update

Dell Command | Update is required for the fixlets and analyses to work as expected. The package for Dell Command | Update is available in the C3-Patch site as Deployment, Updating, and Removal content.

Deploy Dell Command | Update to your endpoints as the first step.

Use the Dell Command | Update Probe

In order for the analyses in the next step to begin retrieving data you must push the configuration probe as a policy action.

The probe is: Fixlet: Invoke - Dell Command | Update Driver Probe - Windows

This should be actioned to run an unlimited number of times with a delay of however long you find the age of the data to be acceptable (typically once a week/month is fine).

Enable the Dell Command | Update analyses

Enable the Analysis: Dell Command | Update - Windows to begin collecting data on machines that have run the Driver probe.

Use the Dell Command | Update Update Driver

Once you are sure that you are ready to update drivers you can use the Update Driver fixlet to actually run Dell Command | Update. NOTE: This bypasses the BigFix relay infrastructure and the endpoints will download driver packages directlry from Dell.

The Driver Updater is: Fixlet: Invoke - Dell Command | Update Driver Update - Windows
