It applies to Windows Server operating systems affected by this change, as defined by Microsoft, running on physical systems with customer-managed firmware and Secure Boot configuration.
It does not apply to cloud platforms or appliances where the provider manages firmware and Secure Boot keys, such as Microsoft Azure, AX, or APEX-Managed Cloud.
Systems already running BIOS versions that include the updated Secure Boot certificates may not require this procedure.
