Introduction
Microsoft End Point Manager Configuration (MEMCM), version 1910, supports
enterprise device management. Microsoft System Center Configuration
Manager (SCCM) aids in the management of system devices earlier than
version 1910 of Configuration Manager.
Note: MEMCM is referred instead of SCCM in all the sections of this document
for the ease of understanding.
Both MEMCM and SCCM allows users to manage and facilitate the process of
operating system, application and driver deployment.
Microsoft management users can subscribe to third party catalogs provided by
vendors, like Dell, to get published updates via management consoles.
Dell supports many commercial client systems. Determining the appropriate
updates for systems in an enterprise environment can be time consuming. Dell
has introduced filtering options to better manage Dell client system updates.
With the introduction of the V3 schema, users can filter updates after
subscribing to the third-party catalog or once the catalog has been imported.
Current Dell Business Client Update Catalog supports the following
categorization based on product type.
1. BIOS
2. Drivers and Applications
3. Firmware
Subscribers to the Dell Business Client Update Catalog can search for updates
based on product and model type using MEMCM 1910 and earlier versions.
The catalog-defined categorized updates help to improve user experience by
minimizing time spent searching for the appropriate updates.
The information in this whitepaper describes the categories and provides step-
by-step guidance on how to use the filtering options available in Dell third-party
update by using MEMCM version 1910.
