Dell DSDPv3.0 with ConfigMgr 2012 R2 SP1

I have confirmed through testing that the Dell Server Deployment Pack v3.0 does work with ConfigMgr 2012 R2 SP1.  No need for a new version just to work with SP1.

I tested the Set Boot Order, Set BIOS config, Set iDrac config, and Set RAID config, and Driver import from SMTD and they all work.

A couple of things to keep in mind:

1. If you are trying to deploy Server 2012 R2, you will need your ConfigMgr host to be running Server 2012 R2, or may have to copy the boot image to a Server 2012 R2 machine to manually inject drivers.  This is due to a downlevel DISM issue described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2853726

2. If you are trying to deploy Windows 8.1, Server 2012 or Server 2012 R2, I suggest you update your version of DTK (Dell ToolKit) to the latest version which was just released today (6/15/2015).  The latest version is 5.1.0.1658 A01 at this link http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=2JC3P.  This is because of a permissions issue in the previous version of DTK that we just resolved.  I explain that in another post.
