790 and e6320 BIOS upgrade path

Hi,
For both teht 790 and e6320, the BIOS upgrade path required v05 prior to installing v06. I am trying to update the BIOS in the SCCM OSD proccess and this is causing a problem. Anyone know how to wrap these into one or any other way to do this in SCCM/OSD?
Thanks

    You can't combine them. Dell is switching to signed BIOSes for better security. Dell's upgrade process for EFI based BIOS involves one transition version of the BIOS (like A05) and then an actual signed BIOS (A06). You'll see after installing A05 that it adds a signed BIOS update setting to the Security section in the BIOS setup screen. I'm not sure but I think technical limitations lead to this annoying and inconvenient two step process. Even more annoying is that they make you go through this two step process and don't even enable the signed BIOS setting by default.
