iDRAC GUI doesn't seem to give me any of those options for some reason.  I was able to successfully resolve this by searching the error related to the update.xml file. Turns out, you can't update the BIOS without enabling the LifeCycle Controller. Since I'm off-site unless something bad happens, remote management is the only feasible way of managing these servers.  I opened a cmd prompt and browsed to C:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\OM_iDRACTools\racadm and ran the following commands to disable and enable the LCC:$ racadm set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 0$ racadm set LifecycleController.LCAttributes.LifecycleControllerState 1 Note that I did not need to reboot after running the commands to get the BIOS to update. The update utility really should specify that you need LCC enabled in order to update the BIOS. 
Hello,I have four Dell PowerEdge R730xd servers running Windows Server 2016 Standard, that run our Hyper-V cluster. When attempting to update to the latest firmware (2.12.1) using the BIOS_9FG85_WN64_2.12.1_01.exe file from the Dell support site, the application crashes. It makes it as far as the prompt to verify installed vs package version. When clicking Yes, it attempts to update for about 2 seconds, then the update application crashes.  Dell Update Package components has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  After closing the crash window, the application states: "The update failed to complete; you must restart your system and try again." Any ideas how to get past this, or update from command line or possible racadm?
