Method, like CCTK, for setting/configuring BIOS parameters that *doesn't* require Windows?
Greetings all. I hope this is the right place for this, I did a bit of searching and poking around to try to find the most apropos section for my question.
I am the jr sys admin at this company. By and large allocating/deploying systems is my job. For the longest time, we've always just manually updated and set each BIOS prior to PXE to our WDS for setting up Windows. This is tedious, even more so when I am having to then write multiple lines of documentation for what needs to be changed/set for anyone who would be assisting me with deployments (or handling them in my absence). I found Dell Command | Configure and it's a wonderful tool, except it seems it only works after Windows is installed (I tried running the generated files in a command prompt during the initial part of PXE and got an error that a necessary subsystem was missing), which is problematic since a number of BIOS settings must be done before this point. I see there is a command line tool (cctk) but unless I am missing something, it's not a tool I can just throw on a thumb drive along with a script file and fire off. Does Dell have such a tool available? Thanks in advance.
