Note - If Dell Command | Configure 3.2.0 A00 is already installed on your system, uninstall Dell Command | Configure 3.2.0 A00, and then install Dell Command | Configure 3.2.0 A01.
NOTE: if you have issues importing an .EXE into SCCM with our plug-in, you need to perform the following fix on Dell Command | Configure 3.2
The workaround for correcting this in DCC 3.2 that already installed on a system requires the following steps:
- Change to the directory where DCC is installed. (e.g.: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Command Configure)
- Change to the subdirectory with name Payload.
NOTE: Alternatively directly change to the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Command Configure\Payload (Assuming DCC is installed in C:\Program Files (x86))
- Edit the file; package.xml to correct the value utf-8 to utf-16
- Save the changes
- Again generate a new SCE using the DCC Graphic User Interface (GUI)
- Try this SCE with the DCIS Integration.
