How can we improve the SMA?

Include Dell Updates in Task Chains

Add the ability to chain the Dell Updates in a task chain. Very useful when updating Windows 10 builds which can fail if certain drivers are not up to date.

    Upvoted I just worked with a Kace consultant to try and find a way around the same examples everyone else has posted. BIOS updates with Bitlocker is the main concern and being able to chain tasks so that Bitlocker can be suspended first is a critical need.

  • Chris Mead commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be of particular value especially in the event of Dell BIOS updates - a machine can be scripted to disable bitlocker. the fact that this isn't something already handled is a tad silly, and it adds a lot of work for IT Staff

    I'm surprised this isn't included in Task Chains already, like Khaled mention I wanted to be able to suspend BitLocker before running Task Chains.

  • Khaled Issa commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed Dalton, this would be a useful feature. I would use it in a task chain that suspends bitlocker before deploying BIOS updates.
