Applying SCE On The Target System
You can apply SCE on the target system in one of the following ways:
Using the Dell Command | Configure application package. For more information, see Importing Dell Command | Configure
SCE Packages.
or
Using the Dell Command | Configure standalone application. For more information, see Using the Standalone Application.
Using The Standalone Application
You can apply SCE on the target system using the Dell Command | Configure standalone application in one of the following
ways:
Double-click the SCE, or
From the command prompt, navigate to the directory where SCE is located, and type the name of the SCE file.
Example:
C:\Windows\DCC\SCE>"<filename>"
SCE silently installs the settings on the target system. When the installation completes, SCE generates a text file with the same
name at the same location. The text file contains all the applied options and the status of execution for the SCE file.
If you have configured a setup or system password on the target system, and if you have not provided the same password in
the Validation Password dialog box while exporting SCE, (for more information, see Exporting The BIOS Configuration File),
SCE cannot be applied on the target system. However, while applying SCE from the command prompt, you can provide the
setup or system password of the target system.
Example of providing setup password:
C:\Windows\DCC\SCE>"<filename>" --valsetuppwd=<password string>
Example of providing system password:
C:\Windows\DCC\SCE>"<filename>"--valsyspwd=<password string>
