The following
are the benefits of using the
Automatic Search feature to schedule
an automatic download and/or build an update repository from the support
site:
- Downloading updates from Dell Support site for one or more Dell
products based on the brands and service tags can be scheduled. This
schedule can be used to check and download updates periodically, during
the off pick hours.
- The updates downloaded from the Dell Support site can be saved
as a local repository which can be used with system management tools
such as OpenManage Essentials, to update one or more systems.
- Updates can be saved as a new repository in the Dell Repository
Manager database, which can be used to update other custom repositories
in the database.
- Updates can be packaged in a Light Weight Deployment Pack (LWDP)
available to be used directly to update the systems. The update process
can be automated with the help of the batch (.bat for Windows) or
shell (.sh for Linux) files created as part of the LWDP.
