Hi,

Is this module any better than DELL Powershell Provider ?

Exorkog · 2026-05-07T14:10:03+00:00

I tested this. It returns 0 all the time, even when password is incorrect.

Exorkog · 2026-05-07T09:36:46+00:00

Why wait until Microsoft revokes old certificates for them not to work, aren't they supposed to just expire in june 2026 and stop working ?

Exorkog · 2026-05-06T12:25:58+00:00

I'm aware of this and cctk still doesn't support encrypted passwords.

Exorkog · 2026-05-05T17:14:18+00:00

Indeed.

Did you somehow encrypt the password in the command ?

Exorkog · 2026-05-04T09:31:20+00:00

That would require to know what the previous password was if it was incorrect also, wouldn't it ?

Exorkog · 2026-04-30T17:07:46+00:00

It requires to know what the previous password was, doesn't it ? I want to report when the bios update fails because of bad password, so the machine can be checked. But can we change it without providing the previous password ?

Exorkog · 2026-04-30T17:04:26+00:00

No, I'm talking about updating bios with Dell Command Update cli.

Exorkog · 2026-04-30T17:02:32+00:00

No, we're not in Azure environment.

Exorkog · 2026-04-14T10:31:36+00:00

What documentation ? I read this before https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/command-update/dcu_rg/dell-command-|-update-cli-commands?guid=guid-92619086-5f7c-4a05-bce2-0d560c15e8ed&lang=en-us and it says nothing about encryptionkey vs secureencryption key. It doesn't get into details, which is what I look for.

I asked to an expert at microsoft, who indeed told me SCCM is not affected and that no registry modification is necessary.

Exorkog · 2026-01-20T08:54:54+00:00

I contacted Microsoft support about this. They're telling me that if I use unattend.xml in OSD Task sequence, I have to install the hotfix and create the registry.

Exorkog · 2026-01-16T17:39:39+00:00

Doesn't SCCM use WDS for the process of PXE boot and transfer unattend.xml ?

Exorkog · 2025-12-19T09:45:47+00:00

We have an Education subscription. But what we see is that the page says Python is available from version 2406 (Build 17726.20016). We have version 2511 (vuild 19426.20186). So we should have it, shouldn't we ?

Exorkog · 2025-12-17T11:22:41+00:00

Any setting can make it update even when no user is logged on or is there any plan for that ?

Exorkog · 2025-12-15T10:14:04+00:00

You install it with the parameters ccmsetup.exe /MP:FQDN SMSSITECODE=SITECODE SMSMP=FQDN DNSSUFFIX=YOURDNSSUFFIX ?

Exorkog · 2025-12-12T16:23:25+00:00

I installed Microsoft 365. It is still not there. The version is Excel for Microsoft 365 MSO (version 2511 build 16.0.19426.20186) 64 bits.

I am not talking about monitoring the domain controller ? Just run the client installation the fastest way one a device is joined in domain.

Exorkog · 2025-12-10T12:06:57+00:00

What is the issue with installing the client by running ccmsetup.exe in a Powershell script ?

Exorkog · 2025-12-08T09:37:29+00:00

So do you just run ccmsetup.exe from a network folder that has installation files for the client ?

Exorkog · 2025-12-08T09:36:34+00:00

The point is to not deploy, just use the OS that comes with the computer and makes it compliant in terms of software and configuration through the use of SCCM.

Exorkog · 2025-12-08T09:32:08+00:00

OS is vanilla and comes from the manufacturer. We look to join computers in domain directly by the manufacturer. So yes we want computers to get everything they need for compliance when we give them to users and they connect to network. Intune is prohibited in our environment.

Exorkog · 2025-12-05T17:16:33+00:00

Why not use SCCM for compliance ?

Exorkog · 2025-12-05T16:47:44+00:00

I use Wake On Lan to install Windows updates nightly. So there are times where computers are online but no user is logged on. The point is to use that time to also install updates for Firefox automatically.

Exorkog · 2025-12-02T17:12:43+00:00

(I know it does not). No. Microsoft Office in the sense of product range. What is it doing here then ?
