20 Using CCTK GUI

• From the command prompt, navigate to the directory where SCE is

located, and type

the name of the SCE file. For example,

C:\Users\SystemName\Documents>"<filename>"

NOTE: You cannot run SCE on Windows PE systems. For more information on

applying SCE on target systems running the Windows PE operating systems, see

Troubleshooting CCTK

SCE Details

The common scenarios of using SCE are as follows:

• When you apply SCE on a target system, SCE silently installs the BIOS

settings on the target system. When the installation is complete, SCE

generates a log file with the SCE name at the same location. The log file

contains all the applied options and the status of execution for the SCE

file.

NOTE: To generate the log file in a required location: Specify the location of

the log file. For example,

SCE.exe /l="<folder_path>\log.txt"

• When you apply SCE on a target system from a read-only location, provide

the

/nolog

option to prevent generation of the log file. For example,

SCE.exe /nolog

. The

/nolog

option helps to successfully run SCE and

informs that a log file is not created as SCE is in a read-only location.

• If you run SCE from a read-only location without providing

/nolog

, then

SCE fails to run.

• To apply SCE on a Windows PE system, extract SCE from a Windows

system using /e option. For example,

SCE.exe/e=<folder_path_to

extract SCE>

• If you have configured a setup or system password on the target system,

and while exporting SCE, if you have not provided the same password in

the

BIOS Setup or System Password Dialog box

, then you cannot double-

click and apply SCE on the target system. However, while applying SCE

from the command prompt, you can provide the setup or system password

of the target system.

Example of providing setup password:

C:\Windows\CCTK\SCE>"<

filename

>" --valsetuppwd=
