kevin	Hi =)
DELL-ScottH	Hello Mclanem
mclanem	Hello
virtualTodd	Things are good; I'm still trying to get my laptop setup the way that I want it
DELL-ScottH	What laptop?
virtualTodd	I keep having to install Windows updates and reboot
virtualTodd	It is a D630 with 2 GB RAM
DELL-ScottH	Yuck
DELL-ScottH	Vista or XP?
virtualTodd	I got dual 20 in flat panel monitors!
virtualTodd	The OS is the best part: XP!
DELL-ScottH	Nice; your dual 24" you left me here is rocking
Reed_Porter	I got one of those—oh wait, mine's 830!!
DELL-ScottH	People are very jealous when they walk by
kevin	Yeah, I'm rolling w/ one 20" + laptop screen...kinda regretting not getting discrete GPU
virtualTodd	After using Vista the last year or so on my D820, the D630 now seems to scream with XP
mclanem	Just think of how fast Win98 would run...
DELL-ScottH	Hey did you see my tweet about your binary clock? You left it in a drawer; I'm liking it and you can't have it back
DELL-ScottH	Or DOS!
DELL-ScottH	Would need a rewrite for the cores, but that would be a fun project
kevin	Lol

kevin	Lol
ramseyg_Dell	Hey Scott, are we ready to get started?
DELL-ScottH	Just about
Donnie-Dell	And yet Greg still finds time to complain
DELL-ScottH	Sorry was OTP. Let’s give it two more minutes; let me tweet one more time. Snt tweet with many!!! :-)
	angie_DELL left.
DELL-ScottH	Alright, let’s get this party started
ramseyg_Dell	(Angie, sometimes has a short attention span) :)
Donnie-Dell	He he
	angie_DELL joined.
DELL-ScottH	Welcome everyone to the second installment of this chat series on SCCM and Dell Updates
ramseyg_Dell	Welcome back, Angie!!
angie_DELL	Sorry :(
DELL-ScottH	We have Greg, Donnie, and Angie from Dell IT joining us to lead the discussion—say hello, take a bow
	vt100 joined.
ramseyg_Dell	Howdy ya'll . . .
	rodtrent joined.
angie_DELL	Howdy everybody
ramseyg_Dell	Hey Rod!
Donnie-Dell	Heya everyone
DELL-ScottH	Last week’s session introduced us to the topic, and Greg will dive in some more. I'll let Greg take it from here, but please jump in with questions anytime
ramseyg_Dell	Thanks Scott. Thanks everyone for taking the time to participate.
rodtrent	Hey, Greg!
ramseyg_Dell	First, a few links to recap from last week. FYI, the transcript from last week’s chat is here: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/12-09-08+dell+software+updates+catalogs+and+microsoft+system+center+configuration+manager+%e2%80%93+part+1
DELL-ScottH	FYI, right-click on links or get kicked out :-)
ramseyg_Dell	The Dell Updates Catalog home page: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/dell+updates+catalogs
	Sherry_Kissinger left.
Donnie-Dell	Unless you are Reed, in which case just don't even look at the links
	Sherry_Kissinger joined.
ramseyg_Dell	Dell Custom Updates FAQ: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/dell+custom+updates+faq
DELL-ScottH	Welcome vt100. Use Action, Recent Room History to catch up
DELL-ScottH	Hello Rod, I applied for many credit cards in your name :-)
vt100	Scotth, yeah, I might...came over from Twitter ;-)
ramseyg_Dell	A little bit of a visual, seeing Dell Updates in the configmgradmin console: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/detect+and+deploy+dell+updates+with+configmgr
DELL-ScottH	Yah Twitter!
	Mdzikowski joined.
ramseyg_Dell	And some new developments since last week!!
	Dell-Roger_F joined.
mdzikowski	Hello
ramseyg_Dell	MS SCUP 4.5 released yesterday: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0446cce9-94a4-4fb0-b335-e7516044063d&displaylang=en&tm
DELL-ScottH	HYello mdzikowski! We are just getting started. Use Action, Recent Room History to catch up
DELL-ScottH	SCUP? For us noobs
	vt100 left.
ramseyg_Dell	Last week I mentioned that you have to go back into SCUP to re-sync custom updates with the Updates Catalog
Donnie-Dell	System Center Updates Publisher
ramseyg_Dell	No longer an issue with 4.5
angie_DELL	System Center Updates Publisher
ramseyg_Dell	You can use System Center Updates Publisher to create custom updates, and to import "catalogs" from vendors, such as Dell, Adobe, etc.
mclanem	Sweet
DELL-ScottH	Cool
	rodtrent left.
	rodtrent joined.
ramseyg_Dell	Once the catalogs are imported, you can publish the content to your WSUS server (the one used by your ConfigMgr central site
	Brad joined.
ramseyg_Dell	Then run your normal software updates synchronization, and Poof! The updates appear in ConfigMr
DELL-ScottH	Hllo Brad, just getting started. Use Action, Recent Room History to catch up
ramseyg_Dell	Just like what you see here: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/detect+and+deploy+dell+updates+with+configmgr
ramseyg_Dell	Once you have them in ConfigMgr, you can then Detect and Deploy Dell Updates just like Microsoft Security Updates.
ramseyg_Dell	In fact, you can deploy both in the same update deployment.
	KevinMurray joined.
DELL-ScottH	Hello Kevin
KevinMurray	Hey Scott
ramseyg_Dell	FYI, this works with both ConfigMgr 2007, and System Center Essentials
DELL-ScottH	Just getting started. Use Action, Recent Room History to catch up
	Dave_Crown joined.
	bjm joined.
DELL-ScottH	Hello Dave and Bjm
Donnie-Dell	Pssst...and they're free
Dave_Crown	Hello scott
bjm	Hi
ramseyg_Dell	Ah, and the second development from last week, we put together an eight-minute video to show you a little more about Dell Updates in ConfigMgr: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/solutions/dell_updates_catalog.wmv
DELL-ScottH	Use Action, Recent Room History to catch up—just getting started
DELL-ScottH	Yes, but view from this link: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/ms+system+center+demos, so we get the hits :-)
	dnemec joined.
Donnie-Dell	I dare you to listen to the video and not think Greg sounds like Barry White
ramseyg_Dell	Good point, Scott. Thanks
DELL-ScottH	Hello dnemec, use Action, Recent Room History to catch up
danielversola	Does anyone know if Dell has an ISO that will update all drivers and firmware like HP's PSP updates?
ramseyg_Dell	That's right, Barry White...a younger, living Barry White though
DELL-ScottH	End-of-year performance planning; need all the help we can get ;-P
ramseyg_Dell	Dell does have an ISO for servers, called SUU (Server Update Utility), I think
DELL-ScottH	Yes, SUU
Donnie-Dell	(Trying to find the link now)
DELL-ScottH	Just like the HP tool you reference
danielversola	Thanks :) I want to add that to our proactive maintenance schedule
	KevinS joined.
ramseyg_Dell	BTW, you can run SUU unattended through ConfigMgr software distribution if you desire
DELL-ScottH	SBUU: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/systems+build+and+update+utility+-+sbuu with a demo
danielversola	Right now we are doing them all one by one from support.dell.com, but if we had the SUU that would make life a lot easier :)
DELL-ScottH	Yuck, stop that now; view that link—so download SBUU. Go
ramseyg_Dell	Nice thing about the Dell Updates catalogs is that you can detect updates and use standard ConfigMgr Web reporting to view compliance with the latest Dell updates
	mdzikowski left.
Donnie-Dell	Ideally, though, you would use the updates through ConfigMgr that Greg is talking about.
ramseyg_Dell	And then if you'd like, you can approve, download, and deploy just like you do with Microsoft Updates in ConfigMgr
Reed_Porter	I've been told I sound like Dude Lebowski and the dead TV paint teacher. The carpet did tie the room together
DELL-ScottH	Yes, if you have SCCM, you should be doing this process that Greg is ‘splaining
mclanem	How would I go about getting the DCAI and all of the updates installed during the OSD task sequence?
ramseyg_Dell	One other new feature in SCUP 4.5 is that if you'd like, you can publish meta data only, so you can detect updates, but not deploy, if you desire
danielversola	Now the ConfigMgr, is that software we load on a server?
dnemec	Is SUU only for servers? Or can it be used for Dell workstations and laptops too?
danielversola	I am a Dell partner, so we have a huge client base with multi servers with different configurations, etc.
angie_DELL	SUU is server only
Donnie-Dell	@mclanem, there are a couple of ways I can think of. Multiple nstall Software Updates Tasks, manually running the IA ahead of time in the task sequence, etc.
ramseyg_Dell	Supported hardware with the Dell Updates catalog. For servers, pretty much everything that's currently supported by Dell
danielversola	I gotta run to a sales meeting…thanks for the tips. I’ll check out ConfigMgr and SUU
mclanem	Manually running the what?
ramseyg_Dell	For workstations, primarily the Latitude E series, and newer OptiPlex and Precision models
DELL-ScottH	Glad to help
ramseyg_Dell	More information here: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/dell+custom+updates+supported+models
rodtrent	Wish all solutions were that quick
dnemec	Is there going to be an SUU for workstations and/or laptops? I thought I heard something about that back at MMS 2008.
Donnie-Dell	@mclanem, the Inventory agent—the first update that is applicable. Check out the video for more information on it
ramseyg_Dell	We're working to "simplify IT" :)
mclanem	K
bjm	Any plans to go back and add D-series to the Dell catalog?
Dave_Crown	The Inventory agent, is there a way to get that thing to upgrade cleanly?
ramseyg_Dell	There have been discussions about that, and I encourage you to contact your account exec/Dell Support teams to help us encourage that too :)
Donnie-Dell	@dave_crown, send mailto:donnie_taylor@dell.com your upgrade scenario, and I will talk with PG to get it recognized
	Dave_Crown left.
bjm	Will do. We are phasing out D500 and 505, but still have several thousand 520s and 530s.
	Dave_Crown joined.
Donnie-Dell	Yeah, we have been discussing with them a lot about that...the D series. Greg and I have talked about creating some BIOS updates manually to release, but they wouldn't be PG supported...just Greg supported :)
ramseyg_Dell	Umm, Greg and Donnie and community supported
Donnie-Dell	But mostly Greg
rodtrent	Greg is gettin' upset
Sherry_Kissinger	Greg supported is fine
rodtrent	Errr Greg
ramseyg_Dell	That is another nice thing about SCUP. With all catalogs you import, you are able to edit the rule, which can help you write your own detection rule for custom updates
ramseyg_Dell	:)
DELL-ScottH	Maybe that will keep him busy enough to leave my laptop alone!
bjm	I'll take Greg supported too...just shot an e-mail to my account rep though
ramseyg_Dell	As this is Part 2, we left out some of the details of the process. I'm more than happy to go into those if you would like
DELL-ScottH	::surprise
ramseyg_Dell	And also any other questions you have
Donnie-Dell	We don't recommend editing the Dell Catalogs rules, but feel free to check out the rules to see how they were built
rodtrent	Oops...wrong button
Donnie-Dell	Rod...angry
	Brad left.
ramseyg_Dell	(Um, didn't mean “left out details,” meant, “didn't want to do an exact repeat of last week”)
Dave_Crown	Ill get back on topic, Rod...promise
ramseyg_Dell	But we can go into those details if you'd like...depends on the audience’s desires :)
BrianMason	The more the detail, the better!
ramseyg_Dell	:)
Donnie-Dell	Yeah, ask those questions if you have them. If not, download and install the catalogs, and then ask the questions :)
ramseyg_Dell	We haven't talked about certificates today
rodtrent	Certificates, always a good topic
Donnie-Dell	http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/dell+custom+updates+certficates
ramseyg_Dell	You'll need to import a certificate so that you can sign these updates
Sherry_Kissinger	Just repeat to yourself. I couldn't make it last week. If it gets too repetitive for others, they can shout “boring!”
angie_DELL	Does everyone know the links for SCUP and the vendor catalogs?
ramseyg_Dell	Quick-draw Donnie just posted the link for certificates I mentioned some stuff on the myitforum lists yesterday (maybe Rod will post a link :) )
rodtrent	Yep, will do
ramseyg_Dell	We'll get a little more detail out there on that, but follow the directions in the integrated help for SCUP, and you'll be okay
	dnemec left.
Donnie-Dell	Certificate in three locations on the WSUS server, two locations on the clients, and a quick local GPO (or domain level), and you are good to go
ramseyg_Dell	Yep, and since you have ConfigMgr, you can use standard softrware distribution to make these configuration changes
ramseyg_Dell	As you see in the GUI on this link: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/detect+and+deploy+dell+updates+with+configmgr
Donnie-Dell	Or, if you choose to buy a certificate from a Go-Daddy or a Verisign, then all you need to do is the local policy
ramseyg_Dell	After running the sync in ConfigMgr, systems will begin scanning for these updates
Donnie-Dell	But a self-signed certificate will work just as well without the cost :)
ramseyg_Dell	You'll see that only two updates will appear applicable
ramseyg_Dell	“Dell OpenManage Inventory Agent" and "Dell OpenManage Inventory Agent (for Dell Business)
ramseyg_Dell	The first one is for servers, the second one is for workstations
	DuncanMc joined.
Donnie-Dell	@mclanem, this is the Inventory Agent we were talking about earlier.
ramseyg_Dell	This agent runs to query Dell hardware, and populate WMI so that the next time the Windows Update scan runs, it will collect the Dell update information also (applicable, installed, etc.)
DELL-ScottH	Hello Duncan, use Action, Recent Room History to catch up
ramseyg_Dell	And then you will begin to see required and installed status in the ConfigMgr Admin console for specific updates
DuncanMc	Action, Recent Room History
mclanem	Right. What I am wondering is if there is a way that I can get that installed outside of the update process, so that the rest of the updates can get installed during the task sequence. Is there a stand alone installer that I can turn into a package?
ramseyg_Dell	And you'll be able to use the standard ConfigMgr Web reports to see that information
Donnie-Dell	You can definitely install the IA outside of the process; it just runs as a service. I will talk to the product group to see about its location and availability
ramseyg_Dell	@mclanem, we'll do a little testing on this; I see no reason (currently) why you couldn't embed it into your image
ramseyg_Dell	Worst case, you could have one step in your OSD TS to install this update (it's an MSI file), and then after a reboot, do the install software updates task
	KevinS left.
	DuncanMc left.
mclanem	Where would we get that MSI?
ramseyg_Dell	But that is a good question...we'll ask about embedding it into the image. I think that would be handy
ramseyg_Dell	If you download the catalog, and edit the rule, you can see the path to the MSI (inside an EXE) on the Dell ftp site
mclanem	Very good. I can handle that
ramseyg_Dell	That Inventory Agent may need to be updated from time to time, so that's something you'll have to watch for
Donnie-Dell	It will definitely be up on the FTP site...all the updates get pulled from there
BrianMason	Can I just schedule it instead of having to watch for it?
rodtrent	Pulled through FTP?
ramseyg_Dell	With the new version of SCUP (4.5), you can configure it to auto sync
BrianMason	Perfect
ramseyg_Dell	But I haven’t tested it yet (just released yesterday). I would like to configure it to auto synch, and auto-publish meta data of new updates
ramseyg_Dell	So once we learn a little more about that, we'll add that to delltechcenter also
Donnie-Dell	Yeah...I would try to find a couple of links from the catalog for you all, but someone *coughgregcough* has all of the SCUP consoles open
Donnie-Dell	:P\
ramseyg_Dell	So we've put together a bit of info on www.delltechcenter.com for Dell updates and ConfigMgr. I wanted to also point out a downloadable PDF that takes you into very detailed step-by-step process: http://tinyurl.com/5t4xhx
rodtrent	Click, click, revoke user rights, yes?
Donnie-Dell	He he
ramseyg_Dell	It's for servers, but the information applies the same for the workstations catalog (the only difference is the CAB file used for updates)
angie_DELL	SCUP console is free
angie_DELL	Um, Greg...
	KevinMurray left.
ramseyg_Dell	@donnie-dell, careful...you don't want to be starting something :)
	mmurray joined.
Donnie-Dell	Bah
Donnie-Dell	Okay, any other questions/comments?
ramseyg_Dell	What other questions do you have?
Donnie-Dell	*crickets*
kevin	I have a mildly off-topic question (forgive me, I misunderstood the topic of hardware updates)
Donnie-Dell	Greg, I do believe you have stunned them into submission
mclanem	Please add the rest of the OptiPlex line
kevin	Any word on the vaporware update for MD3000i that removes the 2 TB LUN limit?
ramseyg_Dell	:) @mclanem, we hear you :)
Donnie-Dell	Agreed, Mclanem. If we could make that decision it would already be made :)
mclanem	I know
bjm	This is the first time I've put any thought into SCUP at all, so I need to visit some of those links posted today before I start with questions... =)
Donnie-Dell	@kevin, no information on that from us IT workers...they just keep us in the basement
bjm	And ditto, ) OptiPlex drivers back to at least 280 would be cool
ramseyg_Dell	In case you missed it earlier, check out our eight-minute Barry White-ish rock star video for using Dell Updates with ConfigMgr: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/solutions/dell_updates_catalog.wmv
DELL-ScottH	@kevin, not vapor. Hate to give you an exact date because if it slips again, then I have set wrong expectations, and we will be in the same situation—Januaryish
kevin	Yeah, I'm there too...just a different basement =p
rodtrent	Did you say SCUP pulls from FTP?
mclanem	Just as a word of warning, I did have trouble getting SCUP installed on my server running x64 SQL.
rodtrent	Or, that's just where to get manual downloads?
DELL-ScottH	@kevin, believe me, I got beat up when I told people November
ramseyg_Dell	Hmmm, @mclanem, we installed it on x64 SQL without issue
Donnie-Dell	The updates are actually from ftp.dell.com, right Greg?
ramseyg_Dell	Yes
rodtrent	Checkpoint restart? Bits?
mclanem	It was documented
kevin	@scotth, yeah, that’s what I have heard too. Agreed about slipping dates. It’s a shame since I need to make a decision on whether to wait it out or implement another solution
BrianMason	FTP is so 90s! Make it HTTP!
	mmurray left.
	mmurray joined.
mclanem	I can't remember if the work around was in your doc or somewhere else, but you had to pre-create the database
	mmurray left.
Donnie-Dell	That is just to get the updates down to the SCUP server; after that it's normal distribution mechanisms
ramseyg_Dell	:) @brianmason, we hear you there too!
rodtrent	Yeah...that's kind of what I was getting at
	mmurray joined.
ramseyg_Dell	@mclanem, we installed it no problem; ConfigMgr 2007 w/ SP1 on SQL 2005 SP2, on Server 2003 SP2
BrianMason	FTP could force me to do some manual thing due to our proxy servers
ramseyg_Dell	* Word of caution on SCUP: I sent feedback to Microsoft today. If you uninstall SCUP, you will lose your SCUP database...at least that's my experience in test. You're not given an option to NOT remove the database
Sherry_Kissinger	SQL05? Server03? 08!
angie_DELL	@brianmason, Well, it’s an additional step, but I believe you can use a network share but you'll need to download the bits first
Reed_Porter	I download them at home and bring them to work on floppies
Sherry_Kissinger	@reed, that's kind of sad
ramseyg_Dell	@brianmason, one of our guys, Dustin (not online right now), has some information. And the new SCUP has some proxy stuff built in, but I don't know the details. Let us know if you run into any road blocks, and we'll see what we can push on this side
	Ronni_Pedersen joined.
mclanem	Better then punch cards
ramseyg_Dell	@sherry, we've been running ConfigMgr since mid-2007!
Sherry_Kissinger	Okay, okay, I concede!
Stuart	Thanks heaps, guys. I now have lots of reading to do...gotta go…have a great day!
	Stuart left.
Donnie-Dell	Yeah, it's an old install
ramseyg_Dell	This is the landing page for Dell Updates Catalog with ConfigMgr: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/dell+updates+catalogs
Donnie-Dell	http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/sccm+-+system+center+configuration+manager
	mmurray left.
	Ronni_Pedersen left.
ramseyg_Dell	And Donnie posted the one for ConfigMgr
	Ronni_Pedersen joined.
ramseyg_Dell	We have more great chats coming your way soon
	Ronni_Pedersen left.
	Ronni_Pedersen joined.
ramseyg_Dell	Hi Ronni! Right-click the links!
bjm	Thanks all.
DELL-ScottH	:-)
Ronni_Pedersen	I tried but my pop-blocker stopped me...can you post em again?
ramseyg_Dell	We'll be covering the Dell Client Configuration Utility (DCCU) in early January. Dennis will be driving that one for us
DELL-ScottH	Hello Ronni! Use Action, Recent Room History to see what you missed, we are about wrapped up
mclanem	Alright. Time for me to take off. Thanks for the information. I look forward to playing with SCUP 4.5
DELL-ScottH	There will also be a transcript posted, and you can see all the links
Ronni_Pedersen	Thanx
	DELL-ScottH left.
Donnie-Dell	Thanks for attending folks; we will be sending out reminders for the DCCU, Server Deployment Kit, and OMCI integration at later dates :)
ramseyg_Dell	If you haven't used the DCCU, definitely something worth checking out. It allows you to manage BIOS changes using software distribution
	DELL-ScottH joined.
	mclanem left.
DELL-ScottH	Woops, closed the browser
	bjm left.
ramseyg_Dell	And as Donnie mentioned, other chats on OMCI w/ ConfigMgr and the new Dell Deployment Pack for Server OSD in ConfigMgr
DELL-ScottH	Transcripts and upcoming chats are here: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/chat+topics+and+transcripts
rodtrent	Easy to do. That 'x' up in the far right corner will get you every time
Donnie-Dell	He he
ramseyg_Dell	DDP is very handy for driver management, BIOS, and RAID configuration, etc.
angie_DELL	Happy Holidays to Everyone!
angie_DELL	:)
rodtrent	Dell nurse?
ramseyg_Dell	Yes, thanks everyone for your time!
BrianMason	Thanks. Peace out!
rodtrent	Thanks to the Dell folks!
DELL-ScottH	Thanks everyone...no chat for two weeks!
Sherry_Kissinger	Thanks Dell, bye!
ramseyg_Dell	Drop us a line if you encounter issues, and feel free to add to the FAQs on the site for more information
Dell-Roger_F	See you all on Jan 6th
	BrianMason left.
Donnie-Dell	Thanks to everyone for attending. If you have any questions, you know where to find us!
Ronni_Pedersen	Thanks...bye
DELL-ScottH	Yeah, Dell nurse stopped by for the blood drive and didn't like my dual monitor setup
	Sherry_Kissinger left.
rodtrent	Say no more
Reed_Porter	Next week come anyway, we'll play with sounds
DELL-ScottH	Yeah!
ramseyg_Dell	@reed :). . . .
ramseyg_Dell	At least you can only play sounds
	rodtrent left.
DELL-ScottH	Ha ha ha, we picked the same one!
virtualTodd	Did you give blood right there in the cube?
Donnie-Dell	Ha ha, and thus the chat degraded quickly
DELL-ScottH	Donnie and I are long lost twins!
Reed_Porter	Touching
DELL-ScottH	I felt like she was taking it from me right then
	angie_DELL left.
