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:

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 BIOS with BIOS passwords,
disabling wireless/Bluetooth.
Dell Command | Monitor - A WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) agent that provides deep hardware inventory and health
monitoring along with command line and scripting capabilities that allow IT administrators to configure their hardware remotely.
Dell Command | Update - a factory-installed application that end-users, with administrative rights, may utilize to individually manage their
own Dell updates. This tool leverages the Updates Catalog for scheduling and installing Dell updates (drivers, BIOS, firmware).
