CCTK.exe BootOrder comes with a empty device list

Hi Community,

I'm using the Dell Command Configure to manage the BootOrder sequence (CCTK.exe BootOrder --Sequence). For some devices the command works as expected as below:

======================Output Command CCTK.exe BootOrder=====================

C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Command Configure\X86_64>cctk.exe BootOrder
 DeviceStatus DeviceNumber     DeviceType    Shortform  DeviceDescription
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Enabled         1           UEFI Device         uefi  UEFI:CD/DVD Drive
  Enabled         2           UEFI Device         uefi  UEFI:Removable Device
  Enabled         3           UEFI Device         uefi  UEFI:Network Device
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use DeviceNumber or shortform to set the boot order.
Example1: cctk BootOrder --Sequence=2,1,3 --DisableDevice=1 --EnableDevice=2,3
Example2: cctk BootOrder --Sequence=cdrom,hdd.2,hdd.1 --DisableDevice=hdd.2 --EnableDevice=cdrom,hdd.1
In file operation, same command can write like BootOrder=+cdrom,-hdd.2,+hdd.1
======================End of Output Command CCTK.exe=====================
 
But for other devices, when I run the command, it brings a empty boot device list as below:
 
======================Output Command CCTK.exe BootOrder=====================
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Command Configure\X86_64>cctk.exe BootOrder
 DeviceStatus DeviceNumber     DeviceType    Shortform  DeviceDescription
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

All devices are supported by Dell Command Configure (Latitude) and I'm using the latest version 4.0.1. All devices are using UEFI and secure boot.
 
A nyone knows why it brings a empty list for BootOrder device?
 
Best Regards

Is there a common denominator to be found? For example:

The machines that fail, are they from the same model?

Did you update firmware to the latest version on the failing devices?

Are you using a Administrator password on the BIOS/UEFI settings and if so, are you using it in your cctk command? Could the password be different on different machines?
