cctk.exe --tpmactivation=activate does not work on any of my models
I have updated the BIOSs to the current release on a E6400, 960, 755, and D830 and I was able to turn on the TPM using the --tpm=on option then rebooted and tried to activate the TPM using the --tpmactivation=activate option however that command seems to fail. After a reboot they all return tpm=on and tpmactivation=deactivated when I run "cctk --tpm --tpmactivation".
The commands I have had work fine are (In WinPE) --tpm=on --embnic1=on --passwordbypass=rebootbypass then after a reboot I run (In Windows XP SP3) bootorder --sequence=bev,embnic --enabledevice=bev,embnic which also works. This is were I was trying to activate the TPM but it is failing.

thanks for your reply. Sadly i got the same results after using the hapint command.
Except of the tpmactivation all other CCTK commands are working. I think without the hapi none of them would work?
Any other ideas?
best regards

I've had success with this order using CCTK:
1. Update to the latest version of the BIOS that is available
2. Enable TPM
3. Reboot
4. Set BIOS password
5. Activate TPM and specify the BIOS password
6. Reboot
Make sure you don't interrupt the boot sequence when enabling and activating the TPM. In other words, enable/active and reboot and go straight into BIOS set up. Let it boot to the OS. Then reboot and check the BIOS screen.

I have the same problem here. CCTK works fine except tpmactivation! I run CCTK (x86, Version 2.0.1) from a batch file inside WinPE. I run the following command:
cctk.exe -i MODEL.cctk
cctk.exe --tpm=on --valsetuppwd=PW
cctk.exe --tpmactivation=activate --valsetuppwd=PW
In the *.cctk file I set some general BIOS settings and also the setup password. The other two command run without an error, but after rebooting the system the TPM is on but not activated. The funny thing is, that the activation works on the Dell Latitude E6410 (A11) but it does not work with these models:
- Latitude E4300 (A24)
- Latitude E6400 (A31)
- Latitude D630 (A17)
Did someone manage to activate the TPM on the models above?

I have activated the TPM successfully on a D630 using CCTK. Some models require you enable the TPM, then reboot, then activate the TPM, and then reboot. I think the 630 is one of those. I do all mine like that though because the behavior is inconsistent across models.

Has this issue been fixed? I am having the exact same problem (I can turn on TPM, Activation says it succeeded but if I look at the BIOS it is de-activated). I have E6400 and E6420 laptops I'm testing with, the problem is consistent with those two models.

Are you running the latest BIOS version for each of those? Can you go through the exact steps that you do including any reboots?
I have a E6420 that I can test tomorrow.

Thanks for offering Clint, I discovered that in my case the TPM was owned & I needed to clear TPM to get CCTK to work properly...

Yeah I was going to mention that since it has been the issue before multiple times in this forum. I wish CCTK had a to check if a TPM was owned or not.

SOLUTION: If you are experiencing this problem (change TPM activation state using CCTK command line, CCTK returns success, but activation state is NOT actually changed) it is most likely because CCTK cannot change the TPM activation state when the TPM is in an "owned" state. You must first clear the TPM ownership, then CCTK --tpmactivation=activate will work properly.
This is not documented anywhere, so far as I know. It's obviously a bug in CCTK. CCTK should not return success when it has failed, d'oh.
