Unable to activate TPM chip via BIOS using BIOSConfigUtility on HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT's

[JoeAdmin43900]

biosconfigutility.exe /getconfig:"8200.txt" does NOT work - all I get is:

English
;
;     Settings file originally created by BIOS Config Utility
;     Version:3.2.3.1
;     Date:2015.01.16
;

There are no settings.  I have the same problem with HP Z230's.  Any suggestions on how to extract the BIOS data?  This is driving me INSANE!

The current posting is in a consumer forum which I sometimes browse but do not monitor.

Can you post follow ups related to the BIOS Config Utility ( BCU ) in the PC Client Management area on HP's Enterprise forums ?

I am currently trying to identify why BCU but does not work with your system.

        Can you provide the BIOS version of both the 8200 & the Z230 ?

        Do the systems have HP factory images or a custom image deployed by your company ?

        Which version(s) of Windows  is installed  ( 7,  8.0,  8.1 ) ?

I do not have a solution at this time but am investigating this behavior.

If you have the opportunity, the following may help determine how much of the WMI is functioning:

Pick up the CMI Admin Tool Kit SoftPaq  SP52783

       ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52783.exe

       ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52783.html

Once installed, open a CMD shell window and change to the directory:

     C:\Program Files (x86)\Hewlett-Packard\HPProviderUtilities\Sample Scripts\Windows Scripts

Run the following command:

     Cscript   EnumSettings.wsf

This will enumerate all WMI settings on the computer.

     The output can be redirected to a file using

           Cscript  EnumSettings.wsf  >  settings-report.txt

thanks,

I can find all kinds of information on how to activate TPM, but can you disable it through the BCU?  Is it enough to set the following:

TPM Device
 *Hidden
 TPM 1.2
 TPM 2.0
Activate TPM On Next Boot
 *Disable
 Enable

Hi,

I'm trying to enable the TPM Chip on a HP 250 G1 Notebook and keep getting the following errors:

<ERROR msg="Unable to open or read configuration file" />
<ERROR msg="BCU return value" real="11" translated="11" />

What configuration file is it looking for?

I'm entering the commands you've noted (since I've already created a password for my Bios):

BIOSConfigUtility.exe  /setconfig:TPMEnable.REPSET

I saw that someone else said

"I copied the BiosConfigUtility.exe and my EnableTPM.REPSET file"

Where do I get this EnableTPM.REPSET file from?

Thank you,

John
