Product: HP 6200 Small Form Factor
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
I am trying to change a setting in bios for 2500 devices by script.
The PC's have a BIOS password enabled and I created a pwd.bin with that passowrd saved.
The following is my script which fails to read the pwd.bin or the config.txt files:
net use \\<network share> /user:<user>
\\<network share>\BiosConfigUtility64.exe /cpwdfile:"pwd.bin" /setvalue:"Password prompt on F9 F11 & F12"."Disable"
I have also tried:
net use \\<network share> /user:<user>
\\<network share>\BiosConfigUtility64.exe /cpwdfile:"pwd.bin" /setconfig:"config.txt"
Please help - I really do not want to manually go and configure all those devices.
