Dell Command Update - how to ignore Dell Command Configure
I'm trying to get Dell Command Update 4.1.0 to install updates for almost everything, including itself. I'm then going to roll this out across all the other machines at my organisation.
However, one of the things DCU seems to want to install on my laptop is Dell Command Configure, this is an excerpt from the report when I run dcu-cli /scan -report=xxx
N9DPF
Dell Command | Configure
4.4.0.86
December 24, 2020

Application
Systems Management
FOLDER06874295M/2/Dell-Command-Configure_N9DPF_WIN_4.4.0.86_A00.EXE
38233800
I do not currently have this installed, and do not want DCU to ever install it. However, I do want DCU to be able to update itself, and I am assuming that it too will fall into the same type and category as Dell Command Configure?
So my question is how to get DCU to not install DCC but keep providing updates for everything else (BIOS, Drivers, DCU itself).
Thanks.

Founs I also had Dell Command Power Manager v2.2.1 installed so I removed that too but no luck.
In the end I reinstalled DCU and rebooted. All ok now.

OK, I think DCU might have been picking up an old version of the Dell Client Configuration Toolkit v2.2.1 which I had installed.
The version mentioned in service.log seems to match the old version I had installed.
... that said, I've now uninstalled CCT and DCU is still telling me I need DCC! Maybe it caches the scan results though, it seems to be returning the report much faster than it did the first time I ran the command.
