First, let me start by saying there is already a good blog post which outlines how to use HP’s BIOSConfigUtility in an MDT task sequence (which can be easily translated into an SCCM task sequence).
I recently implemented this tool for a client to enable the TPM feature in BIOS in preparation for BitLocker. The utility was being run from a task sequence with command line such as:
cmd.exe /c c:\temp\BIOSConfigUtility.exe /SetConfig:TPMEnable.REPSET /NewAdminPassword:"P@55word!"
In my testing, the BIOS password was being set properly, but the TPM enable would not get enabled. BIOSConfigUtility.exe would terminate with error code 10, which essentially meant it was trying to enable TPM but the provided password is incorrect. What I found to fix the problem was to instead specify the full path to TPMEnable.REPSET file. So instead, the switch would instead be:
/SetConfig:c:\temp\TPMEnable.REPSET

I bios config set with BAT file whitch contains:
BiosConfigUtility.EXE /nspwd:BIOS_password
BiosConfigUtility.EXE /setConfig:Bioss_settings_file.txt /cspwd:BIOS_password
Some hints –
1.If bios is without password you can`t change settings.
2.Some manufaturers bioses skip some characters in passwords – check manually, Lenovo skips “_”
3.Bios config I manually create and after than get with command BiosConfigUtility.EXE /getConfig:Bioss_settings_file.txt /cspwd:BIOS_password – then use this file in task sequence.
