Task sequence steps consolidated into one group: The first cctk file in Config\ enables secure boot, tpm, etc. Also, what I did was create a second tk file to re-enable the UEFI network stack. So all the steps was consolidated into one group to set the BIOS settings with UEFI network stack disabled. What I eventually did was use the newer 4.x version of the cctk tool but created the package differently (see the link below) and runs fine in WinPE. What is odd is that it eventually failed, would only set some settings but failed on disabling the UEFI network stack step and several others with the 3.x CCTK software. This task sequence was a big help in getting our systems converted.

Since WordPress converts a double dash (-, had to add a space character here) into a single dash, all steps below that reference the cctk.cmd file in the Command line should contain a double dash for each parameter passed along.
MDT integration is not described in this post, but I’d assume that with the layout of steps below you’ll be able to figure out how to incorporate the same configuration into a MDT integrated task sequence, if that’s what you’re using.īelow are the individual steps for a successful BIOS to UEFI conversion including enabling and activating TPM for Dell systems. Task Sequence configurationĪs for the task sequence configuration, the steps below are part of a native ConfigMgr task sequence. This package will be used to configure the settings on the Dell systems so that we can make the actual configuration switch from BIOS to UEFI. As a friendly reminder, distribute the package to your Distribution Points. I suggest that you do the same when following along in this post. In my environment, I’ve named my Dell Configure Command package as ‘Dell Command Configure 3.1.0.250’. How to create a Dell Command-Configure Package in ConfigMgr Instead, follow Mike’s instructions from the following blog post: The process of creating a Dell Command Configure package in ConfigMgr has already been very well described by Mike Terrill, so I’ll not copy his excellent work. In Dell Command Configure, you can still leverage the cctk.exe file to configure individual settings in addition to apply a complete ini file with your configuration. We need to create a package for Dell Command Configure (formerly known as CCTK). In this post, I’ve also included how to activate and enable the TPM chip for Dell systems due to the fact it requires a special order of steps to be taken for it to function properly when combined with the BIOS to UEFI conversion.
I recommend that you read the introduction for this series before you continue, since it describes the new capabilities of ConfigMgr Current Branch regarding the native support for BIOS to UEFI conversion.
