Dell Command l PowerShell Provider can do the same things as Command l Configure, but with a different method. PowerShell is a
scripting language that allows customers to create a customized and dynamic configuration process.
Dell Command l Monitor is a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) agent that provides IT admins with an extensive inventory
of the hardware and health-state data. Admins can also configure hardware remotely by using command line and scripting.
Dell Command | Update (end-user tool) is factory-installed and allows admins to individually manage and automatically present and
install Dell updates to the BIOS, drivers, and software. Command l Update eliminates the time-consuming hunting and pecking process of
update installation.
Dell Command l Update Catalog provides searchable metadata that allows the management console to retrieve the latest system-
specific updates (driver, firmware or BIOS). The updates are then delivered seamlessly to end-users using the customer's systems
management infrastructure that is consuming the catalog (like SCCM).
Dell Command | vPro Out of Band console extends hardware management to systems that are offline or have an un-reachable OS
(Dell exclusive features).
Dell Command | Integration Suite for System Center - This suite integrates all the key components of the Client Command Suite into
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 and Current Branch versions.
Dell Client Command Suite's integration with VMware Workspace ONE Powered by AirWatch, now allows customers to manage their Dell
client hardware from the cloud, using a single Workspace ONE console.
Out-of-Band Systems Management- Intel vPro and Intel
Standard Manageability
Intel vPro and Intel Standard Manageability must be configured in the Dell factory at the time of purchase, as they are NOT field
ungradable. They offer out-of-band management and DASH compliance.
Intel vPro
Available with Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and offers the most complete set of out-of-band management features including KVM, IPv6
support, graceful shutdown, and all the features from previous versions of vPro. It uses the latest version of Intel's Active Management
Technology (AMT).
To learn more about vPro, visit Intel's website at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/vpro/vpro-
platform-general.html.
A unique and new Dell Remote Provisioning feature for Intel vPro quickly activates vPro capabilities on a PC, reducing vPro set-up time
from months to less than an hour. The Dell Remote Provisioning feature for Intel vPro is available as a part of the module: Dell Command
| Integration Suite for Systems Center
Intel Standard Manageability (ISM)
ISM offers a limited set of out-of-band features like remote power on/off, Serial-over-LAN redirect, Wake-on-LAN, etc.

Trusted Platform Module
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a dedicated cryptoprocessor designed to secure hardware by integrating cryptographic keys into
devices. A software can use a Trusted Platform Module to authenticate hardware devices. As each TPM chip has a unique and secret
RSA key burned in as it is produced, it can perform the platform authentication.
NOTE:
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is part of the system board. In an event of system board replacement, the
encryption needs to be suspended in the OS and re-enabled on new system board's BIOS prior to resuming the
encryption.
CAUTION: Attempt to replace the system board without prior suspending the encryption, will cause operating system
corruption and may eventually lead to No-Boot scenario.
