HP MIK Client - Calling the MIK Provider returned null.

[xad12321]

My test client machine is currently running on VMware and I am trying to set a BIOS password using SCCM configured with HP MIK. I have already deployed the configuration baseline and have installed HP MIK Client on my client machine. I am wondering if the issue is due to my test client being on VMware.

Current versions:

HP MIK for SCCM: 5.0.0.35334

HP MIK Client: 5.0.0.38007
