Greetings,

I have a customer with around 100 desktops (P520, P556, Q556), and I need to adjust the BIOS settings for all to:
- all have the same bios admin password
- to all boot at 7 am during weekdays
- enable wol

On top I need to write the clients internal asset tag into the bios.

Obviously I do not want to do it manually. Is there some supported way of doing this (remotely/centrally)?

Regards
Johannes

 

Hi Johannes,

We've forwarded your query to Fujitsu support and are waiting for feedback.

Best regards,

 

Hi Johannes,

Fujitsu support says that this looks like a typical case for working with the DeskView Client. A brief overview of the toolset, complete with links to downloads and documents, is available here:
http://www.fujitsu.com/de/solutions/business-techn...

The toolset should enable you to create so-called desflash files, which then must be adapted for every PC model individually.

They've also suggested you or your customer arrange for a Technical presales call with Fujitsu support.

Best regards,

 

Hi Johannes,
Download DeskView Client (to be installed on all the clients) or DeskView Instant BIOS Management tool (no installation necessary).
You will find several tools like deskflash.exe (BIOS update and/or archive) and biosset.exe (set bios values).
Download the DeskView Client Manual (de or en) and read it, please.

- all have the same bios admin password
Make use of biosset in this case.
Create a encrypted bios password first, can be done
at any PC with biosset.exe
BIOSSET.EXE /CRYPT="PasswordInClearText"
The result will be the"encryptedpassword"
Save the value!

Run at the target PC
BIOSSET.EXE /NEWPWC="encryptedpassword"

- all boot at 7 am during weekdays
BIOSSET.EXE /PWC="encryptedpassword" /time=07:00
/days=1,2,3,4,5

- enable wol
BIOSSET.EXE /PWC="encryptedpassword" /WOL=ON

BIOSSET will do the job. How to run the commands is what you have to choose. Batch file, software management tools ......
