HP's System Software Manager (SSM) or the HP RepSet.exe utilities can be used to change BIOS settings remotely. You will need to deploy theses remotely through logon scripts, Microsoft SMS, Altiris etc.

Thanks guys, but can I have a full overview of my network? I'm talking about 1000 machines.
I looked up BCU and it seems to be all command line?

Not that I'm aware of but not really my field of expertise. Might be worth hitting the Request Attention button to see if the mods can round up some specialist advice for you.

Both need to be deployed first (via SMS, scripted or other distribution systems) and running on clients before you can use them and don't support all devices.
