SCCM to update BIOS on Dell Latitude 7400
We have 14 models of Dell workstations. Three Optiplex models and 11 Latitude models are still in use and in warranty. I would like to be able to use SCCM to update the BIOS on these devices as a job that could be run manually from Software Center on the workstation. I have been unsuccessful in finding a method that temporarily suspends DDS bitlocker settings to allow this upgrade to happen. Can this be done in an automated way or am I out of luck?

@KDBoutelle
Have you attempted to stop the DellMgmtAgent service and then suspend the bitlocker via manage-bde command? After BL is suspended, apply the BIOS update. On next reboot the DellMgmtAgent service will start back up.
If you have attempted that method, I'd recommend spinning up a ticket so we can help take a look at the commands you are using.

I did not try that. I will do that today and report back.
Thank you for the suggestion Brian.
