Hi Guys,

I would like to update my bios computer (Dell PC) and the bios is protected by a password.

I need to put this password in PDQ package command line :

C:\Temp\Repository\Bios\E6230A20.exe /s /r /l=C:\logs\log.txt /p=**********

The password contain special character like "%" and when I deploy the package, PDQ delete those special character.

Do you have a work around regarding this issue ?

PS: When I try with a password with special character it works.

regards

Med

Med,

Try running as a command step and putting the password in a variable:

set "biosPassword=**********"

C:\Temp\Repository\Bios\E6230A20.exe /s /r /l=C:\logs\log.txt /p=%biosPassword%
