Dell continues its commitment in helping you manage Dell Client systems by releasing Dell Client Integration Pack 3.0 (DCIP) for "Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager".
DCIP 3.0 is not backward compatible with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM 2007). If you need DCIP compatible with SCCM 2007, then use DCIP 2.0.
DCIP allows you to:
- Easily consume the Driver Packs released by Dell for Optiplex, Latitude & Precision range of systems,
- Collect Warranty Information for Dell Systems, and
- Manage Dell Client systems using Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) through Out-of-Band Management.
New features and enhancements in Dell Client Integration Pack 3.0 include:
- Supports Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager only.
- Simplified steps to Distribute Content to Distribution Points in all the Import Wizards by reducing 14 steps to 1.
- Improved Performance in Warranty Utility. An improvement of around 92% is seen while retrieving warranty information from Dell servers under ideal test conditions.
- Standalone installation of Warranty Utility. Warranty Utility now can be installed on any system that has .Net Client Profile installed.
