Pushing HP BIOS Settings - Error 11

$

0

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:

Task sequence setup:

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.

Does anyone know where I can find a parts catalog for an xw9400 Workstation? The published Servide & Technical Reference Guide doesn't contain one, and all my search efforts have come up empty.

HPDL380 Gen9 GRUB! error: no such device: HPEZCD240

I have a DL380 and a 24 inches monitor HP Z24n and they were working OK until I replace the video card from Nvidia K620 to Nvidia NVS450. At this point, the DL380 couldn't detect the Z24n monitor. I put again the Nvidia K620 and the problem is still there.

The DL380 has a VGA port which I used to run a test and I saw:

error: no such device: HPEZCD260

 

I think this post can help me, but the links you posted are not available anymore.

 

Someone can help me please?

How do I adjust the height of my new HP Z23n monitor?

Just received a new HP Z23n monitor in the mail - No instructions included.  How do I adjust the height of the stand that the monitor connects to?  The monitor attaches to a bracket which sits at the top of a column attached to a base.  The bracket moves up and down, but will not stay at the height necessary.  There seems to be a small button within the column, but it doesn't seem to be impacting the height.  Thank you in advance for weighing in!

HP Z800 Would not boot after a restart. Forced to reset CMOS and drain power.

I often work with Z800 workstations. I upgrade them with x5670 processors and populate it with more RAM, for nice workflow. I have noticed one strange thing, which at first I thought was the issue with the fact that they are upgraded with the different processors. but turns out that very often this happens with the original processors too. 

 

SO the issue is: after a restart computer would not boot. It powers on, fans start spinning louder then usual after half a minute, HDD LED will not show any progress, no beep codes, and nothing on displays. Solution for now that worked (but not for long) is when I force to power it off, drain the power and reset the CMOS. After that procedure It would start up and sometimes after 2nd or 3rd restart it would not boot again.

 

I have 3 towers now with GTX 570 

48GB of RAM (6x 8GB 133MHZ Registered RAM, installed in 1,3,5 and 1,3,5 dimms)

Processors: Dual x5670 and one tower with Dual E5640

Windows 7 OS.

BIOS v3.61 (which is latest)

Power supplies: 850W. 

 

If anyone had same issues, please share how you battled. 

Question about HP Client Integration Kit for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

Couple questions for anyone out there using the HP Client Integration Kit for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager.

 

- Does this software need to be installed on the SCCM Site Server, or can it just be installed on a workstation running the SCCM console?  In other words, does it integrate with SCCM as a whole or just the SCCM console where it's installed?

- Does the software give me the ability to push out BIOS updates to our HP machines, or is it just used to manage BIOS settings?

 

Thanks!

HP z420 workstation boid downgrade

I recently upgraded to the bios 3.92. I have been trying for several days to downgrade the bios to 3.91. I have downloaded the 3.91 bios from the support website and tried to flash it by system utilities when you hit the esc key. I have gone into the bios it’s self and tired that way as well. It says it was successful, but when I reboot the computer it still has the 3.92 bios. I tried the windows bios utility and it fails.

 

Is there any way to downgrade the bios back to 3.91? is there some setting preventing me from doing this?

So im looking into adding m.2 support as a boot drive but was wondering if i could get the added speed benefits of a raid 0 by using something like a StarTech PCIe dual M.2 RAID with 2 WD Blue SSDs? Would the bios see it as a drive/raid controller?

HP Z440 not allowing SLI with two Quadro P5000

$

Hello everyone,

 

We have several Z440 workstations that we recently installed two Quadro P5000 video cards in each.  Using the Nvidia control panel, we are not given the ability to enable SLI.  If the SLI bridge is removed the Nvidia control panel reflects this by giving a message stating "A higher performance SLI bridge can improve your experience."  but once reconnected the message goes away but still have to option to enable SLI.  Other then the video cards nothing in the systems have been changed.  They are standard Z440 workstations.  Please let us know any info!

 

 Troubleshooting steps we have attempted:

  1. Updated all system drivers
  2. Updated firmware on the P5000 cards
  3. Updated BIOS
  4. Removed and cleaned video drivers and reinstalled
  5. Attempted to use both older and newer drivers
  6. Used multiple sli bridge connectors
  7. The P5000 cards have two SLI connections "SLI 1" and "SLI 2" we have tried to connect both SLI 1 and SLI 2 at the same time, as well as only one at a time.
