Dear All,<br />
<br />
I have a couple of machines around the world connected to a domain. I have download DELL command configure and create an .exe to deploy with GPO to machines. The .exe contains the bios config password.<br />
I would like to know if the same .exe can be used for machines that are setup with Legacy bios and UEFI bios?<br />
Or do I need to create one .exe file for each case?<br />
Is it a problem on a machine already getting the bios config password if it boot many times and receive the GPO?<br />
Or do I have to check if the password has been set and do nothing in the case?<br />
<br />

Dear All,

I have a couple of machines around the world connected to a domain. I have download DELL command configure and create an .exe to deploy with GPO to machines. The .exe contains the bios config password.
I would like to know if the same .exe can be used for machines that are setup with Legacy bios and UEFI bios?
Or do I need to create one .exe file for each case?
