I sorted this out.  When you are exporting the Catalog, you have to specify a "base" path, which should point to the folder where all the updates were exported to.   Really was not obvious to me in the menu.  The terminology is poor, and it also seems like this should be something that can be easily handled systematically.  If I'm specifying the file repository during export, why not include the base path along with it automatically? Just seems like an unnecessary REQUIREMENT that isn't obviously stated as REQUIRED during the export of the catalog.  Un-intuitive is what I would describe it as.
Here's the setup. Dell Command Update 3.1.3 installed on a Precision Tower 3420.  I know it requires a bios update because it's current bios version is 2.13 and 2.15 is out.  I have deployed the Dell Command Update using the following XML Settings:     Universal   C:\Program Files\Dell\CommandUpdate\     \\server\Drivers\Dell\FileStore\Catalog.xml  $DELL$   false   true      ManualUpdates   Never      true   true   true   true   true   true    true   true   true   true   true   true      true    true    Notice the Catalog path with my path to the server share.   The catalog on the server is organized like this: [IMAGE] Here is the command I use to execute dell command update on the Precision 3420: "${env:ProgramFiles}\Dell\CommandUpdate\dcu-cli.exe" '/applyUpdates -catalogLocation="\\servername\Drivers\Dell\FileStore\Catalog.xml" -autoSuspendBitLocker=enable -reboot=disable -silent -outputLog="C:\Support\dcu-cli.log"' Here is the dcu-cli.log that is generated: [IMAGE]   My problem seems to be that, it reads the catalog.xml but it cannot download the files from the Server share?  Why is that?  Is there another switch I need to specify in order to tell Dell Command Update to download the files from my server share?  I have been working on this for 3 days and keep running into the same problem. [IMAGE]
