Dell CCTK and K1000
I really need some help deploying the dell CCTK configuration file to workstations using the k1000. Here's what I have:
Thank you.
Cory
- The latest K1000 version and the latest agent version (as of 10/06/11)
- I have already figured out how to deploy the Dell CCTK client to workstations using the Distribution>managed installation section of K1000
- I have installed Dell CCTK version 2.0.1 on my PC and created a multi-platform bios file (enabling WOL)
- I exported those settings as a .cctk
- I deployed the CCTK client using the kbox to a machine
- I can't figure how to deploy the configuration file
- Enabled = yes
- Deploying to just the one PC that I know has the Dell CCTK client installed
- Run as: domain administrator (credentials entered correctly)
- Task1 = I tried this 2 different ways:
- 1) Launch “SYS\cmd.exe†with params “"C:\Program Files\Dell\CCTK\X86\cctk.exe" -i \\share\folder\config.cctk
- 2) Run the batch file...Batch file:="C:\Program Files\Dell\CCTK\X86\cctk.exe" -i \\share\folder\config.cctk
- Pushed 1/1
- Completed 0/1
- And in the Run Now Detail, next to the name of the computer it's supposed to be running on, it always displays a question mark and a "status pending" message. I don't see any other logs or anything. But it does display all this in the Run Now Detail as well:
-
Start Time:Oct 06 2011 11:28:21 AM
Script Name:Configure Bios after CCTK install
Total Machines:1
Pushed Machines:1 (100%)
Push Successes:1 (100%)
Push Failures:0 (0%)
Completed Machines:0 (0%)
Running Machines:1 (100%)
Successes:0 (0%)
Failures:0 (0%)
- But when I check the BIOS of that machine, no changes have been made.
Thank you.

Here's what I did to run the CCTK without having to install it on all of my computers, yet still letting me change the BIOS settings.
Here's my script that I use in KACE:
Verify
On Success
Remediation
- Unzip “$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\desktop_autoon.zip” to “$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)”.
- Launch “$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\desktop_autoon\cctk.exe” with params “-i desktop_wol_pxe_enable_lowpower_disable_autoon3am.ini”.
- Set “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Kace!BIOSupdatedByKACE” to “YES”.
On Remediation Success
- Log “Successfully updated BIOS - enabled Wake-On-LAN and PXE, disabled Low Power (S5), and set AutoOn to 3am.” to “output”.
On Remediation Failure
I attached the file "desktop_autoon.zip" to the dependency directory (in this script) and the contents of that zip file structure looks like this:
1. desktop_autoon.zip file structure
a. Folder inside it called "desktop_autoon"
i. Inside desktop_autoon folder are the following files: cctk.exe, cctk_x86_WinPE.bat, cctk_x86_WinPE_3.bat, desktop_wol_pxe_enable_lowpower_disable_autoon3am.ini, mxml1.dll, pci.ids", and a folder called "HAPI".
a. The files inside HAPI folder are: dcdbas32.cat, dcdbas32.inf, dcdbas32.sys, dchapi32.dll, dchbas32.dll, dchcfg32.exe, dchipm32.dll, dcmdev32.exe, HAPIInstall.bat, hapint.exe, HAPIUninstall.bat.

FYI: The "desktop_wol_pxe_enable_lowpower_disable_autoon3am.ini" is the file that I created using the CCTK tool. The rest of the above files are from the program that I installed on my computer. - jwaltersnsm 11 years ago

we actually do this with the K2000 as a post install but, this will still work. Zip up your CCTK directory with it's executables and the output you want is for an .ini file, do this by exporting the configuration. Add this as a dependency to a new script and add a task to launch an application.
in the Directory field use $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)
in the File field use cctk.exe
for parameters we use the following:
-i multiplatform_xp_bios_201107251116.ini -l "c:\documents and settings\all users\Dell\bios_config_xp.out"
this calls an ini file located in the zip file and outputs the results to "c:\documents and settings\all users\Dell\bios_config_xp.out".
No installation required on target machines, and if you make it an online script you can use admin credentials.

could you let me know how you did it as post install in K2000? - work@deploy 11 years ago

We had to install the CCTK to get it to work with the K1000. We called the program directly via a bat file in a script, and that seemed to work. We only modified a couple of settings in the bios settings:
script:
Launch “C:\UpdateBIOS.cmd†with params
batchfile contents:
"C:\Program Files\Dell\CCTK\x86\cctk.exe" bootorder --enabledevice=hdd --disabledevice=usbdev --valsetuppwd=*******
script:
Launch “C:\UpdateBIOS.cmd†with params
batchfile contents:
"C:\Program Files\Dell\CCTK\x86\cctk.exe" bootorder --enabledevice=hdd --disabledevice=usbdev --valsetuppwd=*******

no installation of the dell cctk? How is that?
simply packaging the resources works since it is a command line utility. you can delete the contents after you finish deploying.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
