Boot by Bios configured over GPO/ Script

[youki1]

Hello,

How can i configure a pc boot for a specific time by GPO/ script. We don't have SCCM.

We have 27 HP machines in our domain and we have to deploy software by PDQ.

• HP ProDesk 400 G4 DM
• HP ProDesk 400 G5 Desktop Mini

Regards

Hello,

Is it possible at all, i've read that it's WOL for a specific time at HP.

I can get the parameters by the following powershell command (https://www.systanddeploy.com/2019/03/list-and-change-bios-settings-with.html):

$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "Password" -AsPlainText -Force
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("Domain\administrator", $password )
Get-WmiObject -computername 'IP-Adress' -credential $cred -Namespace root/hp/instrumentedBIOS -Class hp_biosEnumeration | select Name, currentvalue, possiblevalues

---

Which parameters do i have to set and is this enough without doing something manually because i have no access (it's in 6 different countries). I found several manuals on the internet but it tells me nothing about the exact parameters that i have to set by comparing.

Query result:
