Push HP BIOS Settings via OSD (Windows 10)

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Hoping to find people that have managed to push HP BIOS settings via OSD (Windows 10), I've pretty much followed this guide (only the folder structures are slightly different) but I'm having issues actually deploying the settings, setting the BIOS password seems to work okay and I've read that for certain TPM settings to be pushed then a BIOS password must be set prior.

My folder setup:

BIOS Config settings to push:

The bios password sets just fine, but in the SMSTS log I see the following for BIOS settings - HP EliteBook 840 G2 itself:

Have attached the SMSTS.log.

Any help would greatly be appreciated, I've been working on this for the last couple of days without success, I've tried:

  • Adding CMD.exe /C prefix (same error)
  • Changing the format of the file to repset (same error)
  • Ran the command manually on the device and works just fine with the same configuration files (as .txt and .repset)
  • Tried running the steps in WinPE rather than in the operating system (same error)

Thanks in advance.

should the command be something like ?

biosconfigutility.exe /CurSetupPasswordFile:"passwordfile.bin" /setconfig:Elitebook820.REPSET

Ours are like this.

The password is set at an earlier stage, both occur during winpe


Exactly as this post says. The manual refers to the proper config file that is .REPSET

 

Additionally, I believe I ran into this issue with my Elitebook 8560P. What I did was use the bios tool to extract the current REPSET, and then ensure that the commands I am using match what my existing configuration file says. I found that some of the setting names didn't match what the instructions said.
