When the BIOS password is set	To read the BIOSConnect profile from the BIOS, run the following command: cctk.exe BIOSConnect profile --Get --valsyspwd=pwd. For example, cctk.exe ConnectionProfile --Get --valsyspwd=pwd. To set the BIOSConnect profile from the BIOS, run the following command: cctk.exe BIOSConnect profile --Set=C:\connectionprofile.xml --valsyspwd=pwd. For example, cctk.exe ConnectionProfile --Set=C:\connectionprofile.xml --valsyspwd=pwd. NOTE:If the setuppwd is set, then run the following command --valsetuppwd=pwd. To delete the BIOSConnect profile from the BIOS, run the following command: cctk.exe BIOSConnect --Delete --valsyspwd=pwd. For example, cctk.exe ConnectionProfile --Delete --valsyspwd=pwd. NOTE:If the system supports the BIOSConnect feature, then --Help displays all the five BIOSConnect profiles. Existing -O reads the supported features and writes in .ini file. This includes BIOSConnect profiles as well. Profiles which are set, their entries are available in .ini file and profile value is written in an .xml file. Example: If the ConnectionProfile is set, .ini file contains the following entry ConnectionProfile=ConnectionProfile.xml and the .xml profile exists in the same directory. --xml command is used to read all the features that are supported by the Dell Command \| Configure. This file is used by the Dell Command \| Configure user interface. To update --xml option and if you provide the correct password, .ini file contains the following entry ConnectionProfile=ConnectionProfile.xml and the .xml profile exists in the same directory. When you provide an incorrect password or the password is not provided, then the following command <option option_id="CloudAppProfile" name="CloudAppProfile" value="CloudAppProfile.xml" errorcode="1"/> is created in the dump.xml.
