Windows SMM Security Mitigations Table (WSMT) Compliance for Dell Command | Configure 4.10

The Windows (SMM) Security Mitigations Table contains information about the ACPI table that was created for the Windows operating system, which supports Windows virtualization-based security (VBS) features. Dell Command | Configure is WSMT compatible. This is used for configuring the platform features on Dell Client Systems with WSMT enabled BIOS.

Following are the behavioral changes due to WSMT compliance:

• Configuration functionalities are available on the Dell Client Platforms which have the compatible version of BIOS supporting WMI/ACPI.
• The following limited functionalities are available when the systems are having incompatible BIOS:
  • Dell Command | Configure user interface is used for viewing all the configuration features.
  • Dell Command | Configure generates SCE for multiplatform packages.
  • Dell Command | Configure generates the reports with the configured values.
  • Dell Command | Configure opens a saved package.
  You may see the following warning messages with systems running an incompatible BIOS.
  • During installation: This system does not have a WMI-ACPI compliant BIOS, so the limited functionality is available. Update the BIOS with a compatible version, if available. For more information, see Dell Command | Configure Release Notes.
