DCU also updates the BIOS. I have been told, but I have not confirmed, that a 
change in the BIOS will cause you to put in the key.

One of the guys on our security team told me this. I have not have the time to 
verify on a test machine. Our company have not “officially” started using 
bitlocker.

That’s what I was trying to understand; why Bitlocker was even mentioned.

thinking of putting Bitlocker back on; appears I can’t do that.

Hi All,

Thanks to all for sharing their solutions to the problem with Dells drivers. 
They all should work just fine.

I didn’t mention this, but the problem I am facing is not just at my site … but 
I also need to find a solution that will fit some 50+ MDT servers on a global 
scale. Drivers has always been a thorn in my side as it seems Dell does in fact 
change hardware on their business class systems on occasion. Then I have to go 
out and download the latest CAB files to get the missing driver(s).

When I spoke to their Tier 3 support, he recommended running Dell Command 
Update as an application which will automatically scan the system, identify the 
model and the hardware in it, then go out and grab the latest CAB file and 
install the missing drivers. Because DCU has this capability, I am thinking of 
only supporting LAN and storage drivers in MDT and then use DCU to finish the 
driver installs. The biggest problem with that is, I need to uninstall it after 
it completes during the MDT process. Leaving DCU on a system, specifically a 
laptop will be problematic when we start bitlocking laptops.

I have only been testing in North America for about a week, so if this works in 
Asia and Europe it will be one solution to fit all. If this doesn’t pan out, 
then I can fall back to the great ideas you guys  have found. FYI: I asked Dell 
if the DCU will download CAB files from that region or come back to the US for 
the drivers. The answer was that DCU is the same application globally. It has 
logic built in to determine the closest source to retrieve the CAB files.

If anyone wants / needs information of how to get DCU to work in MDT just let 
me know.

Thanks for sharing guys.

Best Regards,

Dave Landry

+1 to Arif's recommendation.

I don't import the entire CAB anymore for Dell laptops.  Instead, I unzip it 
and import chipset, audio, storage and LAN, then image and see what else is 
missing.  I only import the missing drivers after that.

I'm not sure what's happening with their CAB files but I've seen this issue as 
well.

My guess is that DCU might update the BIOS of a computer without putting 
Bitlocker into standby first and that would put the Bitlocker into recovery 
mode.  Just a guess.
