Help to edit Biossettings with HP-CMSL

[Admin_inCompany]

Hello everyone,

in our company we have roundabout 4000 HP Devices. 

i want to change two Biossettings with Powershell (CMSL) but i cant find a solution.

I tryed to find the Settings with "Get-HPBIOSSettingsList "

Maybe there is a pro here, who can help.

Setting 1:

I want to turn on "HP LAN-Wireless Protection   (LAN/WLAN Auto Switching - ENABLE )

Setting 2:

I want to configure the "Schedule Power on" Monday to Friday an 08:00 a clock.

Is there anyone who can help?

Best regards

Tim

You might try BiosConfigUtility (included in sp57450): while I am not actually sure it works with the ProDesk 400 G5, there’s no harm in trying. Assuming it does its job, you could set a reference PC’s BIOS, dump its setting with a:

BiosConfigUtility.exe /GetConfig:whatever

And mass deploy it with a

BiosConfigUtility.exe /SetConfig:whatever

I found the solution for Setting 1:
Set-HPBIOSSettingValue -Password nottherealpassword -Name "LAN / WLAN Auto Switching" -Value Enable

If you really prefer CMSL, you can enumerate the PowerDesk 400 G5’s BIOS Settings’ list with

Get-HPBIOSSettingsList

Alternatively, for improved readability, you might want to run

Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\HP\InstrumentedBIOS -Class HP_BIOSEnumeration | Select-Object Name,Value

Therefore, to address you little issue (this example had been tested on a Z workstation)

Set-HPBIOSSettingValue -Name 'BIOS Power-On Time (hh:mm)' -value 8:00

Set-HPBIOSSettingValue -Name 'Monday' -value Enable

Repeat the latter for each day using -Name “Tuesday’ (…) ‘Friday’ and specify the BIOS’ password in the event you set one

Set-HPBIOSSettingValue -Password whatever -Name (…)
