Hi,

The point is to not display a value, like a password in a command line step.

So I set the task sequence variable by checking the "do not display value" box.

Then, to use this value in a command line using cmd, not powershell, is the procedure to use this format %TSVarPassword% with %% caracters ?

For example

cctk.exe --OnboardModem=enabled --valsetuppwd=%TSVarPassword%

Or do we have to use powershell, store the task sequence variable value in a variable, then use it in the command ?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm deploying drivers, firmware and bios updates with Dell Command Update tool with SCCM. The password is encrypted with the -encryptedpassword option. In most cases the password is correct. The issue is that if the bios password is incorrect on some devices, the tool returns exit code 0 which is a success code. So the deployment will come as success while in the log, it appears that the password is incorrect. It is an issue since it breaks the result in the monitoring. A possibility would be to read the last lines of the log file and detect the line that says the password is incorrect, but is there any other with this tool ?

Thanks
