Dell Command Update 3.1 Suppress all Notifications

Have you looked at this forum post? It would seem to refer to your question.

I read through that forum and there was no actual solution posted by anyone. Someone said reinstall the latest, but I have the latest version available installed.

Hi, I'm running into the same issue, did you end up finding a solution to this? Thanks!

1) Start the Dell Command Update 3.1 on a computer.

2) Go through all the settings and set it how you want.  We have manual check only -- no notifications.

3) Export the settings to an XML file within Dell Command Update 3.1

4) When you install the application on another computer, you need to import that XML file.

5) Import via dcu-cli.exe:

> dcu.cli.exe /configure -importSettings=%SystemDrive%\path\to\your\file.xml

Within a powershell script I copied the XML file from a shared drive into a temporary location on the computer and then use that as the path for import settings.  I was not able to use a network locaiton with the -importSettings flag.

I have our update script pull in the settings every time I run the update script just in case something changed in the XML file.

Can you share your XML?

The only CLI option I see that would suppress notifications is -ScheduleAction and the documentation says it only accepts "NotifyAvailableupdate", "DownloadAndNotify", and "DownloadInstallAndNotify".

I have also set the ScheduleMode to ManualUpdates.

AutomationMode is set to ScanDownloadNotify

I am still getting notifications. Is there something that is being missed?

So here's what I've been doing that seems to be working:

We use SCCM for deployment so first I install the application, then I run the following batch file:

@:: XCOPY Config File To Local Directory
XCOPY /Y /F /C /E "Config.xml" "C:\Temp\Config Profile\*"
SLEEP 2

@:: Execute Config File
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" /configure -importSettings="C:\Temp\Config Profile\Config.xml"
SLEEP 2

@:: Add Custom Registry Entries To Do The Following - Suppress Popup On First Launch & Track That Config Applied Successfully
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dell\UpdateService\Clients\CommandUpdate\Preferences\CFG /t REG_DWORD /v ShowSetupPopup /d 0 /f
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Dell\UpdateService\Clients\CommandUpdate\Preferences\CFG /t REG_DWORD /v ConfigApplied /d 1 /f
SLEEP 2

@:: Delete Config File Local Directory To Cleanup
RMDIR /Q /S "C:\Temp\Config Profile"

My .xml config file looks like this:




Classic


C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CommandUpdate\


DellCommandUpdate.exe



false


true







ManualUpdates


ScanNotify









true
