Hi,

 

I'm working with a customer on a new Windows 10 SOE, deployed via SCCM. The HP BIOS Configuration Utility will be used in the Task Sequence to change from BIOS to UEFI, as well as applying a corporate standard of BIOS settings (e.g. enabling TPM). There is also a requirement to set a new BIOS password for Windows 10 devices, which is where the challenge (for me, as a relative "rookie" with the BIOS configuration utility) is presented.

 

So, within the organisation, there are multiple BIOS passwords set, depending on the age of the machine. For both the change of BIOS password and settings I'm aware we need to use a BIN file with the current BIOS password in it to allow the changes to happen. Now, I'm keen to hear some ideas as to how you could utilise errors codes passed to e.g. PowerShell so that I can run through a list of password BIN files until the password has successfully been reset (and then report success when it has been done successfully).

 

Hope this makes sense. Would love to hear your ideas.

 

Thanks

 

Matt
