Dell Command | Deploy - Driver Packs for Enterprise Client OS Deployment

Windows 10, Dell Command, windows 7, Precision, driver, deploy, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, latitude, Deployment, optiplex, cabs, sccm

Below you will find Driver CABs for Dell Enterprise class systems (Latitude, Optiplex, Precision) to be used to simplify OS deployments on those systems with deployment tools like Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM) or Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT).

System CABs for VenueXPS, Latitude, Optiplex, and Precision Workstations - are designed for deployment to a single model and are developed and supported by Dell

WinPE CABs are designed to provide required drivers for WinPE to boot a Dell Latitude, Optiplex, or Precision Workstation for the purpose of OS Deployment.

Family Driver Packs are designed for deployment to multiple models and are developed and supported by the Dell Configuration Services.

The links below will provide additional details on the CABs and a link to download.

If you are new to Dell Driver CABs, please check out the .CAB File Documentation and Walk-Throughs or the Win 7 Deployment video

You can also access the System CABs from http://support.dell.com -- Select Drivers & Downloads, and enter the system model. You will find the supported driver .cab file in the "Systems Management" section under "Driver Pack".

Automate your driver management by leveraging the Driver Pack Catalog.

Driver CAB's are grouped by product family and are listed with the most recent products at the top.

The Driver CABs are updated based on a release schedule which updates newer systems more frequently.  New CAB download pages will include Delta Reports on what has changed in the CAB.

If you still have questions, check out the Deployment FAQ page or our discussion forums.

NOTE: Windows 8 CABs for older systems will be reviewed periodically to see if there are new drivers required.  It is currently expected that Windows 8 will contain the drivers required for those systems.

DELL EMC Repository Manager (DRM)

Dell EMC Repository Manager v3.0 (New Jan 2018)

Dell EMC Repository Manager (DRM) is an application within the Dell OpenManage portfolio that allows IT Administrators to easily manage system updates. Dell Repository Manager provides a searchable interface used to create custom software collections known as bundles and repositories of Dell Update Packages (DUPs).

These bundles and repositories allow for the deployment of multiple firmware updates at once. 

A Dell Update Package (DUP) is a self-contained executable in a standard package format that updates a specific software element on a Dell server such as the BIOS, a device driver, firmware, and other similar software updates.

Additionally, Dell EMC Repository Manager makes it easier to find and download specific updates for a particular platform, which saves time.

What is new in DRM v.3.0:

  • New HTML5-based interface

  • Both Linux and Windows versions with same features, functionality, and appearance

  • Command Line interface (CLI) options – allowing for customized automation of routine processes

  • New work flows for creating repositories

    • Easy to select just the platforms, OS, and desired devices

  • Repository versioning for easy roll back (or forward)

  • Web Service API for support of future Dell EMC consoles

  • Migration of repositories already created with DRM 2.2 during installation of DRM 3.0

  • Able to delete Multiple Repositories at once

  • Create Deployment tools for multiple Repositories at once.

  • Smart Bootable ISO and Smart Scripted Deployment Packs -- featuring Dell System Update (DSU) for orchestration of update process.

  • Automated discovery and loading of new Catalogs.

 How does Dell EMC Repository Manager Work?

DRM allows an IT administrator to either manually create a repository of updates or integrate with other Dell EMC tools like OpenManage Essentials, OpenManage Integration with VMware vCenter, OpenManage Integration with Microsoft System Center, Chassis Management Controller, or iDRAC to automate the creation of a custom repository.

Once a repository is created, an IT administrator can schedule searches for new updates, saving time otherwise spent manually searching through the Dell support site. An administrator can also create custom deployment tools such as custom catalogs that are used by Dell EMC Tools, a custom server update utility, scripted deployment packs, and/or bootable ISOs.

DRM connects to Dell's online catalog of updates that contains information on the available Dell Update Packages (DUPs). Once updates have been selected by a user, Dell EMC Repository Manager downloads the specific, requested files.

Dell EMC Repository Manager will also automate the refresh of repositories with the latest version of update packages or run a comparison and let an administrator select which new updates to include in the repository. DRM can then be used to create deployment tools from the contents of a repository.

Dell ImageAssist

Custom Image, Driver Packs, VLA, wim, ImageAssist, OEM

ImageAssist is a tool developed by Dell Configuration Services for capturing your Windows installation (incl. apps and settings).  The captured OS image (WIM) will be in a format that can be uploaded to Dell and then it will be pre-installed in the Dell factory on any of your new ordered business corporate client systems.  Drivers will be added when the system is built and shipped.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:  Retail & Server OS's are not supported. Supported OS's & Systems

We recommend using a virtual build base.

  • VLA Customers:  Use Volume License Agreement Windows installation media.
  • OEM Customers:  If using hardware as a build base, the Dell Factory installed OS is not supported. Format the hard drive and re-install using the Windows installation media.

PLEASE NOTE: Additional factory validation time for Windows 10 feature releases is required after Microsoft’s RTM. Please contact your Dell Configuration Services Project Manager to check on additional lead times that may be needed for your order.

**Important! Things you should know before building your Windows 10 image.

Dell ImageAssist

Custom Image, Driver Packs, VLA, wim, ImageAssist, OEM

ImageAssist is a tool developed by Dell Configuration Services for capturing your Windows installation (incl. apps and settings).  The captured OS image (WIM) will be in a format that can be uploaded to Dell and then it will be pre-installed in the Dell factory on any of your new ordered business corporate client systems.  Drivers will be added when the system is built and shipped.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:  Retail & Server OS's are not supported. Supported OS's & Systems

We recommend using a virtual build base.

  • VLA Customers:  Use Volume License Agreement Windows installation media.
  • OEM Customers:  If using hardware as a build base, the Dell Factory installed OS is not supported. Format the hard drive and re-install using the Windows installation media.

IMPORTANT: Additional factory validation time for new Windows 10 releases is required after the initial Microsoft release date. Please contact your Dell Configuration Services Project Manager to check on additional lead times that may be needed for your order.

**Important! Things you should know before building your Windows 10 image.
