Dell Command Endpoint Configure for Microsoft Intune

The solution that gives all Intune admins the ability to secure and manage device BIOS is now live.

Additionally, Intune admins can generate unique BIOS passwords which presents a huge opportunity for efficiency, especially for widely dispersed hybrid workforces.

Dell has worked with Microsoft to develop a capability that allows IT admins to manage and push Dell BIOS settings quickly, easily, with Microsoft Intune.

Dell Command Endpoint Configure for Microsoft Intune (DCECMI) provides a way to configure and secure BIOS configurations on Dell systems via Microsoft Intune. The software uses Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) to store data, configure, and manage Dell system BIOS settings with zero touch, and set and maintain unique passwords.
