Dell Command Configure TPM Clear
I am trying to use the Dell Command Configure (Version 4.1) in a backup & wipe SCCM Task sequence. What this would be used for is to backup the hard drive to a NAS using a script, then use the Dell Command Configure to clear the TPM chip of its owner keys and then clear the BIOS password and reset the BIOS to defaults. So I can replace the computer and dispose of the old one.
The line I am trying to do to clear the TPM keys are:
cctk.exe --TpmClear=Enabled --valsetuppwd=password
When I run this line either in a Task Sequence or manually through command prompt I receive the following error:
Attempt to write read-only parameter 'TpmClear'
All of my Dell models that have TPM chips have BitLocker enabled so I want to clear the TPM keys before disposal. I have tried this same command on the follow models with the latest firmware version:
OptiPlex 5050, 5040, 7010, 7020
Is there something I am doing wrong? All the documentation says is that I need a BIOS password in order to use this command. All help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Never mind. According to this white you cannot clear the TPM using Dell Command Configure:
