Manage your client systems on your terms. Choose from a wide variety of advanced tools and utilities to simplify client systems management and keep your client systems up to date:
  • Speed image creation. The Dell Client Deployment CAB file makes it easy to find and download the right drivers for your Dell laptop, desktop and workstation systems.
  • Update the client BIOS without a deskside visit. The Dell Client Configuration Utility enables you to configure the client BIOS before or after you install your software image. You can choose to distribute one-to-one or one-to-many updates at once.
  • Get detailed information about the health of your systems. The Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation enables you to configure the client system BIOS after installation. You can also use this tool to provide detailed asset information to your management console.
  • Control and automate client system updates. Dell Client System Update compares the drivers on http://www.support.dell.com/ to your client configurations to check for updates. You can use a command-line interface or a script to choose which updates to install and to schedule the updates. Now you can send the new configurations directly to a local Dell Repository Manager and update your systems from inside your firewall.
