after reading dell materials, how should i keep dell pcs updated with missing drivers

Hi,

I have read and even setup Repository manager, and DSCU,

it's not working the way it should,

the dscu-cli reboot whenever it wants too, there's no place to control reboots, even in policy xml file if i set False

it still reboots,

also it fails on 99% of the updates, and it also re-downloads the same ones (that "lucky" for me are the ones that need reboot)

Download succeed log:

it feels like a stupid cycle, because this is just an example it happens to all documents,

it's does not feel like a manageable solution.

i have a fully functional SCCM 2007 R3 environment,

is there any other way recommended for me to update dell drivers during operating system deployments?
