Question
What tool is used by HP Client Manager to modify supported HP Hardware bios?
Answer
The 'BiosConfigUtility.exe' tool is called by the software to determine and configure bios.
- To get the current configuration, the following command line can be executed: BiosConfigUtility.exe /getconfig:config.txt
- The resulting config.txt file will be stored in the directory where the BiosConfigUtility is executed.
Note: If no information is returned in the config.txt file, there is a communication issue with the HP BiosConfigUtility.exe. The following error codes have been provided by HP for diagnosing these issues:
