Subject: RE: Custom BIOS
HP has tools to script all this for servers and IIRC Dell has it for
clients so I'd venture to guess HP may have it for clients as well. Look
for stuff centered around deployment scripting/automation/etc on their
site.

: RE: Custom BIOS
Look at HP Client Manager and/or System Software Manager. Those may be able to
do what you are looking for, but I don't believe they support all systems.
Unfortunately, I think the dc7900 is on the unsupported list. It's been a while
since I looked at them so it may be updated
I think you are going about this wrong.
The passwords and settings are not stored in the BIOS, they would be
stored in the CMOS ram.
That is why clearing CMOS resets all the parms back to defaults.
Now you might be able to re-write the BIOS to accomplish this but its
gonna be non-trivial.

I believe that if the computers have Intel's AMT (vPro?), you can use that.
