Dell Command | Configure Version 3.1.2 User's Guide

Some of the common scenarios in which you might use SCE are:

• When you apply SCE on a target system, it performs a silent installation for the BIOS settings on the target system. When the installation is complete, SCE generates a log file with the SCE name at the same location. The log file contains all the applied options and the status of the SCE file.
  • NOTE: To generate the log file in the required location, specify the location of the log file. For example, SCE.exe /l="<folder_path>\log.txt".
• When you apply SCE on a target system from a read-only location, provide the /nolog option to prevent generation of the log file. For example, SCE.exe /nolog . The /nolog option helps the SCE to run successfully and informs that a log file is not created as SCE is in a read-only location.
• If you run SCE from a read-only location without providing /nolog, then SCE fails to run.
• To apply SCE on Windows PE, extract SCE from a system running the Window operating system using the /e option. For example, SCE.exe/e=<folder_path_to extract SCE>.
• If you have configured a setup or system password on the target system, and while exporting SCE, if you have not provided the same password in the Setup, System, or Hard Disk Drive Password screen, then you cannot double-click and apply SCE on the target system. However, while applying SCE from the command prompt, you can provide the setup or system password of the target system.
