The wrapper is meant to facilitate large scale deployment and management.Though the program can be run manually on individual machines, it's standard practice to:

• Add modules to a playbook
• Use a deployment tool such asPsExec/PsExec64 for large scale deployment and management.

⚠️if usingPsExec for large scale management, don't use-e switch!

-e Can cause issues if a program is using user variables such as%temp%.Since Dell-Command-Update using it's-outputlog= doesn't like the log path, it's using the%TEMP% variable [-outputlog="%temp%\DCU_SCAN.log"], which is a user variable (in this context).

Use the followingPsExec switchSET "$SWITCH=-h -i -d -c -f -n 10"
