Product: Probook 450 G5
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

We use PXE boot start an managed enviroment. The BIOS is configured in UEFI mode (needed to run Windows 10 on the SSD).

 

When using F12 on startup to boot from PXE, the system asks if we want to PXE boot with IPv4 or IPv6. This confuses some users, and I would like to be able to skip this step (always use IPv4). I can go into the BIOS (F10), and change the boot options (disable IPv6 PXE boot). This works fine.

 

I need to automate/script this setting, so it gets disabled when the system receives a new Windows 10 installation.

 

Using SCCM, I added a new step to the task sequence:

- Get all the settings from the BIOS, create configuration file

- check if IPv6 PXE is turned on, if so change the configuration file to disabled (functions 100%)

- if IPv6 is turned on, send changed configuration file to system to change the setting

 

The problem: the scipt to change the configuration file functions perfect. I see that the correct value has changed. If I reboot the system, it's a gamble on what boot setting was changed in the BIOS. It may be that the IPv6 is now disabled, but also one of the other boot values. It always disables one value, but not necessarily the IPv6 option.

 

Someone else also got problems with this option?
