<!-- Add the related story/sub-task/bug number, like Resolves #123, or remove if NA --> **Related issue:** NA (Windows FMA workstream; follow-up to #49127, which dropped DDPM) Re-adds **Dell Display and Peripheral Manager** (`Dell.DisplayAndPeripheralManager` 2.2.2.8) as a Windows Fleet-maintained app, and adds a `requires_client_os` routing override so its CI validation always runs on the `windows-11-arm` runner. ## Why DDPM was dropped before, and why it's viable now DDPM was dropped from the earlier re-add because its InstallShield setup aborted with `0x80042000` under every documented silent switch, which was diagnosed at the time as a .NET-prerequisite/headless-chaining problem. A new debug run with Dell's own `/CreateDebugLog` switch shows the real cause: the setup evaluates the OS at `OFUIBefore` and terminates because the runner reports **Microsoft Windows Server 2025**. DDPM is a Windows 10/11 client application and refuses to install on Server SKUs — which is exactly what GitHub's x64 `windows-latest` image is. ``` OSetUMode() 0 AP:2.2.2.8 OFUIBefore Os Major10 Minor0 OS - 44444 // End Log File... ``` ## `requires_client_os` CI routing - New optional winget input field `requires_client_os: true` (documented in `ee/maintained-apps/README.md` and on the Go input struct; ignored by ingestion). - `.github/scripts/partition-fma-apps.sh` routes any app with this flag to `windows-11-arm` — the only GitHub-hosted client-OS Windows runner — regardless of `installer_arch`. The x64 installer runs there under Prism emulation; DDPM's gate is the OS SKU, not the architecture. - Verified locally: partitioning the full 421-app Windows catalog reroutes only `dell-display-and-peripheral-manager/windows`. ## App identity (verified against the real installer) - Downloaded `DDPM-Setup_2.2.2.8.exe` from `dl.dell.com` (Chrome UA per #49123); SHA256 matches the winget manifest. - Embedded InstallShield `[Application]` block: `Name=Dell Display and Peripheral Manager`, `Company=Dell Technologies`; ProductCode matches the manifest GUID. The setup log reports `AP:2.2.2.8` as the registering version. - Installs with Dell's documented managed-deployment switches `/Silent /HeadlessMode=true /TelemetryConsent=false /TurnOffCA` — the final pre-drop iteration (6d0f2c00af), which also declines telemetry and disables DDPM's self-updater on Fleet-managed hosts. Uninstalls via `msiexec /x` on the ProductCode looked up in the registry by DisplayName. Input/uninstall script/icon are restored from the pre-drop state; the install script is the final pre-drop iteration with its root-cause comment corrected (Server-SKU OS gate, not headless-SYSTEM chaining). Output regenerated (winget still at 2.2.2.8; script refs verified). # Checklist for submitter If some of the following don't apply, delete the relevant line. - [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell metacharacters. - [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite loops ## Testing - [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually (partition script exercised locally over the full catalog and a mixed PR-style slug list; ingester regenerated with no output drift; `go test ./ee/maintained-apps/ingesters/winget/` passes) - [ ] `test-fma-windows-pr-only` validates DDPM on the `windows-11-arm` runner in this PR's CI <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added Dell Display and Peripheral Manager to the Windows software catalog, including installation, uninstallation, detection, metadata, and an app icon. * Added support for routing applications that require a Windows client operating system to the appropriate Windows 11 ARM test environment. * **Documentation** * Documented Windows client operating system routing behavior and test environment architecture details. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

Open-source platform for IT and security teams with thousands of computers. Designed for APIs, GitOps, webhooks, YAML, and humans.
What's it for?
Fleet gives you a single system to secure and maintain all your computing devices over the air. You can do MDM, patch stuff, deploy software, and verify anything, all from one place, across every OS your organization uses.
Fleet works directly with data and events from the native operating system, down to the bare metal. Strong diagnostics let you investigate errors on end-user devices and collect accurate audit evidence in minutes.
Get started
You can try Fleet out for yourself, or grab time with one of the maintainers to chat.
Is it any good?
Fleet is used in production by IT and security teams managing thousands of devices. Many deployments support tens of thousands of hosts, and a few large organizations manage 400,000 or more.
Supported platforms
- Linux (all distros)
- macOS
- Windows
- Chromebooks
- iOS and Android (BYOD or corporate-owned)
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Google Cloud (GCP)
- Azure (Microsoft cloud)
- Data centers
- Containers (kube, etc)
- Linux-based IoT devices
Infrastructure as code
Manage your fleet with GitOps, or use the GUI, REST API, webhook events, and the fleetctl command-line tool.
Linux support
First-class support for all major distros. Linux gets the same attention and visibility as macOS and Windows.
Visibility and compliance
Fleet can report on hundreds of attributes across your devices and ships with CIS benchmarks for macOS and Windows and comprehensive operating system, hardware, and software data. Check out the table reference documentation to see what's available.
Open by design
Fleet is open source and transparent about what it can and can't see. End users can verify exactly how the agent works and what data their company collects. Fleet collects only the data needed to manage and secure devices, not private activity like keystrokes, emails, or webcams.
Good neighbors
Ready-to-use, enterprise-friendly integrations exist for Snowflake, Splunk, GitHub Actions, Vanta, Elastic Jira, Zendesk, and more. Fleet also works with tools such as Munki, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, CrowdStrike, and SentinelOne.
Lighter than air
Fleet is lightweight and modular. You can use it for MDM without using it for security, and vice versa. You can turn off features you are not using.
Free as in free
The free version of Fleet will always be free. Fleet is independently backed and actively maintained with the help of many amazing contributors.
Longevity
The company behind Fleet is founded (and majority-owned) by true believers in open source. The company's business model is influenced by GitLab (NYSE: GTLB), with great investors, happy customers, and the capacity to become profitable at any time.
Fleet Device Management's company handbook is public and open source. You can read about the history of Fleet and our commitment to improving the product.
Chat
The Fleet community is full of kind and helpful people. Whether or not you are a paying customer, if you need help, just reach out.
Contributing 
Contributions are welcome, whether you answer questions on Slack / GitHub / LinkedIn, improve the documentation or website, write a tutorial, give a talk at a conference or local meetup, give an interview on a podcast, troubleshoot reported issues, or submit a patch. The Fleet code of conduct is on GitHub.
License
The free version of Fleet is available under the MIT license. The commercial license is also designed to allow contributions to paid features for users whose employment agreements allow them to contribute to open source projects. (See LICENSE.md for details.)
