Disabling a boot device

To All,

In order to comply with security requirements for my company, I need to be able to disable boot devices. The objective is to disable everything except the hard drives. If I could also also disable the 1 time boot menu that would be great.

Can this be done via a script? If so, how?

 

Thanks,

Dan Volpe

CCTK would be the proper tool for making the BIOS modifications.  I know you can remove the "F12" function and modify boot devices in addition to securing BIOS access with a password.  

Start here.

@dan

Check out the CCTK command line docs here. Looks like you can use:

  • cctk.exe bootorder to get a list of the device names
  • cctk.exe bootorder --sequence=device1,device2 to set the order
  • cctk.exe bootorder --disabledevice=device3,device4 to disable certain devices
I'm sure you can script this through OMCI as well.
