   Note: The folder structure is lost, and the DCDM_Deployment.ps1 script does not work as designed when using Windows Explorer to extract the cabinet files. If you intend to deploy DCDM using the provided PowerShell script, you must create a new folder named Installers then move Dell.Core.Services.Installer_64bit.msi, DellCommandUpdateApp_Setup.exe, and TrustedDevice-64Bit.msi into it.

Using Command Line:

1. Open the command prompt and set the directory focus to the folder where the cab file was downloaded.
