Run scripts apart from image deployments or scripted installs
It would be nice to be able to run scripts (such as to configure BIOS, etc.) apart from a scripted install or image deployment. As it is we must have several deployments that have different combinations of scripts in the pre-install task area which makes things confusing and cluttered for our technicians when choosing which deployment option is appropriate. We have several image deployment options just for Windows 7 Ent. x64 alone; all of which take up space.

You can do this use this as a pre install task

I would love to deploy a new BIOS and settings to new computers on the K2000. Perhaps even taking the updates from the K1000 leveraging the additional functionality already built into the box. This means less updates once a computer is imaged.

Can't you just use the Dell CCTK or the Dell Command Configure Utility to make an EXE for you BIOS settings and then make a Preinstallation Task.

I think that the USMT feature of the K2 is very useful, however there
needs to be a way to push out the captured state independent of a SI. Something equivalent to the "Run Now" feature of a K1 script would be great! -

Have the ability to change the BIOS depending upon what the machine will be used for.
ie Student WS: BIOS Password set, Boot to NIC first, Fast Boot on, WOL enabled, LowPowerS5 off, etc..
