Dell Command Update - Delay User Popup Notification

Question

We run Dell Command Update 1x per week via remote support tools. This seems to work fine. If Dell updates are released days before the next Dell Command Update, the user sees the popup Dell Command Update message and thinks that something is wrong. Is there a way to delay the Dell Command Update popup message for 10 days after an update is released giving our weekly update a time to run but still alerting the user if the update is somehow missed. I found the command line command: dcu-cli.exe /configure -delayDays 10, but this gives an error, 'The program exited with return code: 105, when it is run and I'm not sure that this accomplishes the goal listed above. Can anyone advise? Thanks!

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It seems to be easily accomplished but I don't know enough about this to know which value to modify. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@MoonLanding​  dcu-cli.exe/configure -delayDays=10 There instructions are not good. Just tried the above and it worked.

Hi @isja693​  Thanks for these ideas. Can you tell me if these two commands do the same thing or if they do different things? If different, can you tell me how they are different?
