Dell EMC Server Deployment pack (DSDP) configures the server's Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC), integrated Dell

Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), RAID, and BIOS using INI files and Command Line Interface (CLI) options. You can also

configure RAID using the Array Builder Wizard.

This release, of DSDP v4.1(revision A02), is the final release for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

(Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager) product with the associated functionalities. This release and the releases

prior to this will continue to be available for web download on the supported PowerEdge servers but no additional features,

new platform and associated components will be added as the Product is fully deprecated.

No support for upcoming generations and models of PowerEdge servers, outside of the supported systems list. This also implies

that no future release of the software for any new hardware and operating systems will be made available beyond this

DSDP v4.1 (A02) and available only for the currently listed PowerEdge servers. For more information about features supported,

see dell.com/support/documents.

Solution The initial OEM release works correctly on its own and subsequent versions of the underlying integration components will check for existing steps from any OEM. Therefore, ensure that you use the following procedure for using steps from multiple OEMs in a task sequence: 1. Create a new task sequence with OEM configuration steps (preferably, use the right-click action on the "Task Sequences" node). 2. Now add steps from any OEM into a task sequence, and it will be handled correctly.
