Systems management features
Overview: Dell commercial systems come with a number of systems management options that are include by default for In-
Band management with our Dell Client Command Suite. In-Band management meaning that the Operating System is functional
and the device is connected to a network so that it can be managed. The Dell Client Command Suite of tools can be leveraged
individually or with a systems management console like SCCM, LANDESK, KACE, etc.
We also offer Out-of-Band management as an option. Out-of-Band management is when the system does not have a functional
operating system or is turned off and you still want to be able to manage the system in that state.
In-Band Systems Management – Dell Client Command
Suite
The Dell Client Command Suite of tools is free to download at http://dell.com/command and can be used with all OptiPlex
desktops. It contains the following components that can be used individually, or in the case of SCCM in conjunction with our
integration for SCCM.
Dell Command | Deploy Driver Packs - Bundles of system specific drivers (web hosted on dell.com/command) that have
been extracted and reduced to an OS consumable state for use with any OS deployment tool. Here is a link to Dell TechCenter
where you can find the driver packs for each commercial client system: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-

Dell Command | Configure - A GUI based IT administrator tool for configuring and deploying hardware settings in either a
pre-OS or post-OS environment. Example configurations include enabling TPM, restricting access to USB ports, locking the

health monitoring along with command line and scripting capabilities that allow IT administrators to configure their hardware

manage their own Dell updates. This tool leverages the Updates Catalog for scheduling and installing Dell updates (drivers, BIOS,
firmware).
Dell Command | Update Catalog - Provides searchable metadata that is leveraged with Dell Command | Update and enables
management consoles Dell KACE Appliances, LANDesk Management Systems and Microsoft System Center to retrieve the
