I found a tool - a GUI tool specific to my make and model - that can either configure the BIOS of the machine I'm working on or export as VBS or INI. Then I can use cscript to automate it. <br />
Thanks very much.<br />

IT is different for each brand, sometimes even models with brands.... so you may have to find a different one for different machines - but that's just the way it is.

Hi there<br />
I have a client that needs to image a large number of laptops. Prior to imaging they need to make some BIOS (UEFI) changes. I believe this can be done in Windows PE as well as MDT/SCCM, using WMI commands inside a VBS script. <br />
2 questions:-<br />
1. How do I create this VBS script in the first place? <br />
2. Is there a tool I can use to help me?<br />
Bonus question! Is there an easier way to be adjust an UEFI BIOS prior to imaging?<br />
Cheers<br />

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
