Hello
I am trying, via powershell, to run a Dell Command | Configure .exe file I created with a setting to enable TPM on machines.
I copy the .exe file to the remote computers’ Temp folder, then try executing it via powershell script.
I know the script runs because the machine reboots. But it does not turn on the TPM.
When I run Get-TPM against the machine, it says TpmPresent : False and so are the other values. When go into the bios, I see that Tpm is not turned on. The bios does require a password, which I put in the .exe in the Dell Command.
The name of the file is Enable TPM_x64.exe and the start process line is "Start-Process -filePath “C:\Temp$biosFilePath” -wait " (used within an Invoke-Command) and $biosFilePath contains the name of the file (full path).
Im not sure what I’m missing here, it seems pretty straight forward.
I need to check about 200 computers to see if Tpm is enabled or not.
Any suggestions?
Thank You,
Terry
