Dell Command Update 3.1 Network Error

Hi,

I've been using dell command update 2.4 successfully on a variety of machines (optiplex 7040s, optiplex 7060s, XPS laptops and latitude laptops) and recently they all seem to have automatically updated to dell command 3.1. I would like to use the new version, but when checking for updates I get the following network error: 'A problem occurred attempting to connect to your network. Please check your network settings and try again'

This happens for both cli and gui. We have a proxy and the proxy settings are set to use computer settings, but I've also tried manually setting the proxy and still have the same problem.

Not sure if this is a bug with the new update or if I need to change any settings to make this work

Any ideas are appreciated

    Problem is the Proxy Configuration. Please try to disable the Proxy and use a direct Internet Connection.

    I'm having the exact same issue (both GUI and Command Line).  I have a direct internet connection (no proxy configuration)

    It's working for me now.  I had to clear my dns cache.

    We have exactly the same problem. Unfortunately it seems that the proxy settings are ignored and the app tries to go directly to the internet.

    Is there already a workaround ?

    We have the same issue.

    It looks like Dell Command Update 3.1 does ignore all proxy settings, that are defined.
    It is always trying to connect directly to the internet.

    Was working fine in 3.0 UWP, but starting with 3.1 the proxy is not used anymore.
    When connected directly to the internet everything works...

    Does dell know about this yet? Is it possible to report such problems at regular support ?

    I ended up putting an Exception in our firewall to skip authentication for the following URL's to get around the problem for now.

    Same issue.  This needs to be fixed so that all communication uses the system proxy or defined proxy settings.  Information Security will not allow this to go out direct through the WAF.

    Thanks for the replies. Looks like Dell needs to fix things, unfortunately our proxy is externally managed and required so I can't just go around it so need to wait for a fix.

    Does anyone know if there is somewhere to log this with Dell?
