Unable to set embsataraid on newer BIOS version of the Optiplex 7040 using cctk
I am using ConfigMgr 1606 with OSD to image Dell Optiplex 7040 with Windows 7 x64. This has been working up until today. The older machines had a BIOS version in the range of 1.4.5. The machine today had a BIOS version of 1.5.4. The below command is now failing. I can break out to a command prompt with F8 and I can run cctk.cmd --embsataraid and retrieve the value. If i run the command manually to set the embsataraid value it fails. I tried setting it to ahci, raid another value I can't recall but they all failed with the same messages as below. Is embsataraid still supported on newer BIOS versions on the 7040 SFF?
--Running command "x86_64"\cctk.exe --embsataraid=ahci --valsetuppwd=password
The option 'embsataraid' is not available or cannot be configured
Thanks,
Mike

Just happened to notice that literally today a new version of Dell Command Configure 3.2.0.209 came out. I packaged up this new version and took it for a drive. The intial testing failed as the HAPIInstall.cmd was renamed to InstallHAPI.bat and the cctk.cmd was renamed to cctkcmd.bat. I couldn't make this stuff up. After updating all the commandlines in the Task Sequence the first initial test succeeded. In case I didn't mention it, I WAS previously using Dell Command Configure 3.1.0.0.

I also wanted to mention I set the BIOS manually and installed windows and I can run the Dell Command Configure utility and see the embsataraid property. I can also go into the BIOS and set it manually to any setting I like. I was also able to use cctk and set other values.
Thanks,
Mike
