Boot Order Type

The boot order type displays the type of the loaded configuration. The two types of boot orders are legacy and UEFI. If the host system file is loaded, then it displays the currently active boot order type. If a saved file is loaded, then it displays the boot order type saved in the file.

The common scenarios for boot order type are:

• If boot order type is not specified in the file and if any UEFI devices are present on the system, then the system displays the boot order type as UEFI.

• If the boot order type is not specified in the file and if any legacy devices (other than hdd) are present on the system, then the system displays the boot order type as legacy.

• If the boot order type is not specified and the loaded configuration file has only hdd items, then the system prompts the user to select the boot order type.

• If the boot order type is not specified for a legacy system and if you add both UEFI and legacy devices, then the system displays a warning message and removes the legacy or UEFI devices depending on the order of occurrence of the device.

Validating the BIOS OptionsYou can validate the options of a BIOS package against the configuration of the host system using the Validate option. You can validate the settings of a multi-platform file, host system file, or a saved file. You can validate all the options except the bootorder, syspwd, and setuppwd options.

Exporting the Configuration Without Setting ValuesTo export asset and propowntag without specifying changes to values: Select the Apply Settings check box of the corresponding option and export.

Applying the Configured FilesYou can apply the exported .ini, .cctk, SCE, and shell script files to configure the target client systems.

See Also:

• Applying a .ini or .cctk File

• Applying a Shell Script on Linux Systems

• Applying a SCE File

Applying a .ini or .cctk FileThe prerequisites for applying a .ini file or .cctk file is as follows:

• Administrator privileges

• Install CCTK on the client system

To apply: type cctk -i <filename>

Applying a Shell Script on Linux SystemsTo apply a shell script:

1 Copy the script to a Linux system.

2 Run dos2unix on the Linux system.

3 Run the script as: sh <filename.sh>

Applying a SCE File

NOTE: You should have administrator privileges.

On the target system, apply SCE in one of the following ways:

• Double-click the SCE, or

Using CCTK GUI 19

• From the command prompt, navigate to the directory where SCE is located, and type the name of the SCE file. For example, C:\Users\SystemName\Documents>"<filename>"

NOTE: You cannot run SCE on Windows PE systems. For more information on applying SCE on target systems running the Windows PE operating systems, see Troubleshooting CCTK.

SCE Details

The common scenarios of using SCE are as follows:

• When you apply SCE on a target system, SCE silently installs the BIOS settings on the target system. When the installation is complete, SCE generates a log file with the SCE name at the same location. The log file contains all the applied options and the status of execution for the SCE file.

NOTE: To generate the log file in a required location: Specify the location of the log file. For example, SCE.exe /l="<folder_path>\log.txt"

• When you apply SCE on a target system from a read-only location, provide the /nolog option to prevent generation of the log file. For example, SCE.exe /nolog. The /nolog option helps to successfully run SCE and informs that a log file is not created as SCE is in a read-only location.

• If you run SCE from a read-only location without providing /nolog, then SCE fails to run.

• To apply SCE on a Windows PE system, extract SCE from a Windows system using /e option. For example, SCE.exe/e=<folder_path_to extract SCE>

• If you have configured a setup or system password on the target system, and while exporting SCE, if you have not provided the same password in the BIOS Setup or System Password Dialog box, then you cannot double-click and apply SCE on the target system. However, while applying SCE from the command prompt, you can provide the setup or system password of the target system.

Example of providing setup password: C:\Windows\CCTK\SCE>"<filename>" --valsetuppwd=<password string>

20 Using CCTK GUI

Example of providing system password: C:\Windows\CCTK\SCE>"<filename>" --valsyspwd=<password string>

3Troubleshooting CCTKThis section describes how to troubleshoot while running Dell Client Configuration Toolkit (CCTK.)

Running CCTK Displays Error MessagesIf you get the following error message, then uninstall and reinstall Hardware Application Programming Interface (HAPI): Required BIOS interface not found or HAPI load error.

Running CCTK on 32-bit and 64-bit Supported SystemEnsure that you are running CCTK.exe based on the architecture of the system. If you are running CCTK in a 32-bit supported system, in the installation directory, navigate to the x86 directory and run CCTK commands. If you are running CCTK.exe on a 64-bit supported system, then navigate to the x86_64 directory, and run CCTK commands.

If you are running CCTK for 32-bit supported systems on a 64-bit supported system, then the following error message is displayed: HAPI Driver Load Error.

If you are running CCTK for 64-bit supported systems on a 32-bit supported system, then the following error message is displayed: Not a valid Win32 application.

Running CCTK on Windows Vista or Windows 7 When User Account Control is EnabledIf you are running CCTK on a Windows Vista system or later on which User Account Control (UAC) is enabled, then run CCTK as an administrator. Right-click CCTK Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

NOTE: On a Windows Vista system or Windows 7, if UAC is enabled, then a user with administrator privilege cannot install or uninstall CCTK in the silent mode.

Troubleshooting CCTK 23

Running CCTK on LinuxWhen you install CCTK on a Linux system, the entry, modprobe dcdbas, is added in the /etc/rc.modules file. After uninstalling CCTK, this entry is not removed.

TPM ActivationTrusted Platform Module (TPM) is an industry standard cryptographic module that provides attestation, integrity metrics and reporting, and a secure key hierarchy. Dell client systems use TPM to verify if the state of the system has changed between two boot cycles.

To activate and check the TPM activation:

1 If not set, set the BIOS password on the system.

cctk --setuppwd=<new-BIOS-password>

2 If not enabled, enable TPM.

cctk --tpm=on

3 Reboot the system.

4 Activate TPM.

cctk --tpmactivation=activate --valsetuppwd=<BIOS-password>

5 Reboot the system without interruption till the operating system loads.

6 Check the status of TPM.

cctk --tpmactivation

The status is displayed as activate.

SCE Failing to Run on Windows Pre-installation (Windows PE) EnvironmentThe SCE generated using the Export option on GUI is failing to run on Windows PE. To configure BIOS using SCE, on the target systems running the Windows PE operating systems:

24 Troubleshooting CCTK

1 On a Windows system, extract the contents of SCE to a folder using the option Sce.exe /e=<folder_path_to_extract_contents> (For more information on using the command, use /h switch.)

2 Copy the extracted contents to an accessible location in Windows PE system.

3 From the location of the extracted contents, run the following command to apply the configuration: applyconfig.bat /logfile <A valid and existing folder with write permission>\<A valid file name>

For example, applyconfig.bat /logfile C:\log.txt

To apply the configuration on a system, where setup or system password has been set, run the following command: applyconfig.bat /logfile <A valid and existing folder with write permission>\<A valid file name> "--valsetuppwd=<setup password>"

Example1. applyconfig.bat /logfile C:\log.txt "--valsetuppwd=dell"

Example 2. applyconfig.bat /logfile C:\log.txt "--valsyspwd=dell"
