Additional Dell Right-Click Tools

Previously, I posted how to Integrate Dell iDRAC into Configmgr 2012. Here are additional Dell right-click tools that can be leveraged with ConfigMgr 2012:

• Show System and Warranty Information – Launches a Dell Web page based on the computer service tag and displays system details as well as factory warranty information.
• Dell and System Center – Launches the Dell and System Center home page.
• Dell TechCenter – Launches the home page for Dell and ConfigMgr on Dell TechCenter.

Perform the following steps to add the additional Dell Extensions:

1. Close any existing instances of the ConfigMgr Console.
2. Download LaunchDelliDracV2.  Extract both .ps1 files and copy to C:\PowerShell\CM12RClickTools\
3. Extract Dell.XML from the downloaded .zip and copy to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\XmlStorage\Extensions\Actions\3fd01cd1-9e01-461e-92cd-94866b8d1f39\Dell.xml,” (you may need to create the Actions and GUID folder or replace the file created previously).
4. Copy that same Dell.xml to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\XmlStorage\Extensions\Actions\ed9dee86-eadd-4ac8-82a1-7234a4646e62\ (you may need to create the Actions and GUID folder).
5. Launch the ConfigMgr console.
6. Navigate to a device, right-click and view the additional actions from the Dell menu.
