Hello,
I am trying to install the BIOS Patchs to mitigate the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilites and I have hit a snag.
I have tried both a remote install and local install and both attempts fail the same way. The process gets to the point where is should be flashing the new BIOS but it errors out (See highlighted). It fails to clear the existing BIOS and fails the update. However, the process completes without implying that it failed. I only discovered that they were failing when I went to verify the installed BIOS version. Anyone have a suggestion on how to get around this failing?
Thanks,
