*** Note: Currently applies to English Windows OS only

Dell CFI (Custom Factory Integration) emphasizes the need to dynamically manage your Windows 7 and 8.1 Operating System with minimal churn. We have outlined a series of scripts to utilize for Dynamic Driver Injection along with Dynamic Patch Management to occur within the Dell Factory. These scripts can be used in conjunction with your SCCM ConfigMgr and Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) OS Deployment images.

Please note:  Both Dynamic Driver Injection and Dynamic Patch Management are also supported with our Dell Image Assist toolset.


 

Dynamic Driver Injection:
Dell CFI will manage driver CAB injection for current shipping platforms coming out of the factory. This allows supported platforms to be shipped with the latest up-to-date drivers for the specific platforms being ordered. In most cases, no additional image updates are needed in order to request shipment of new platforms.

 

Dynamic Patch Management:
Dell helps eliminate security hassle with this feature in the way we help manage the Critical (important, recommended & optional updates are not included) Operating System updates within your Windows OS deployment. This means your SCCM, MDT & Image Assist deployments come equipped with the latest critical operating system patches, without the need to update a new set of media to submit for orders being placed.

Notice: Win 8.1 & Win 8.1 U1 Windows Critical and Security OS Patches

  • Win 8.1 Images:  In May 2014, Microsoft stopped pushing security patches for Windows 8.1.  Images will include patches received through May 2014.
  • Win 8.1 Update (a.k.a. Win 8.1 Update 1):  There is currently no security patch support for Win 8.1 Update 1.  Availability targeted for March 2015.

 


What’s Needed:

  • Knowledge and understanding of the following Microsoft Windows Operating System Deployment topologies:
    • Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (2007 / 2012)
    • Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (2010 / 2012)
  • ImportCustomDrivers.vbs & ImportCustomPatches.vbs script files:

// DISCLAIMER: THIS SCRIPT IS TO BE USED FOR FACTORY USE
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CONTENTS OF THIS SCRIPT


 

Monthly Patch Management Listing:

Each month, we collect a series of patches (Patch Tuesday) from Microsoft. The critical patches are placed inside customers deployment by the Dell CFI process. This means, when your systems are shipped from the factory using Dynamic Patch Management (contact your Project Manager for details) they arrive equipped with the latest critical Windows operating system patches before the systems touch your infrastructure.
