We also run them during Os deployment. And for some when it fixes a issue as a patch/task sequence. With for instance cctk.

Subject: Re: [mssms] RE: Updating BIOS
we never change the bios version that is shipped unless there's a very good
reason for doing so (like adding features we need or fixing an issue that can
only be fixed via bios upgrade)
we do however make changes in the bios (dell/lenovo) using their bios tools
(cctk/smbios/smbus) but it would be nice if these tools from lenovo were
supported better...

Bios to me is like drivers, done during staging.
Outside staging I'd only do if there is a real need or tangible benefit.
Bios and drivers are the main influencers of blue screens, I need a very good
reason to run that risk.

That depends on the customer. A lot of customers prefer to only do it during
the imaging process. I am fine with that but if you can be thorough enough to
test and are capable of supporting your users I would pro-actively keep the
bios up to date on all systems.
Thanks,
Brandon

Do you only update them when they're reimaged?

What's everyone's opinion on updating the BIOS on your agencies computers? Is
it something you actively do or do you just leave them alone once they go out
the door?
