Yep - same thing here. Both GUI & dcu-cli

Worked on Friday 11/8/2019 no problem

We are seeing the same issue at my work location as well.

FYI,

I installed v3.0.1 on a test PC and it was able to pull the update catalog file. Does not seem Dell is aware of the issue.

yeah, sadly V3 doesn't have silent/CLI so it's literally useless.

Same here in our Enterprise environment.   I was able to use SupportAssist to download BIOS update and a few drivers as a workaround.

Thank you all for responding to this post.

Would be nice if a support rep who is familiar with this product could provide some clarification on what is happening. I don't want to use SupportAssist because it does not seem to be made for enterprise environments.

I'm feeling they are trying to push people to start using v3.0 without stating and we are not planning on using it until CLI support is added back in. Documentation for Command Update is pretty basic far as I can tell.

@Tuplin @bornmusician @chrisc32057 can you help also with the following details

What systems are you running it on and what BIOS version are you running?

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling 2.4.0 to see what happens?

Is it possible to disable any antivirus / firewall software on the system and test to see if you get the same error?

Just to chime in here, I'm having the same issue on newly-imaged machines running DCU 2.3. These machines do not yet have 3rd-party AV installed or, indeed, any software other than DCU.

@DidYouRestart thanks for bringing this to our attention. To clarify, the issue that you are encountering is as follows - 

Command | Update 2.4.0 gives an error message when trying to update

Command | Update 3.0.1 connects fine and pulls down updates but is not currently suitable for your use

Is this correct?

What systems are you running it on and what BIOS version are you running?

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling 2.4.0 to see what happens?

With regards to Support Assist, it originally was an enterprise support tool that has been modified for client platforms.

Latitude 3590, bios 1.10. AV was disabled but didn't make a difference. Reinstalling was the first thing we did. Didn't work. Then found literally any other dell we tried was having the same problem. Not just in our environment - but our other customers as well, varying models, versions etc.
