Valid Argument <filename>

Description

Writes all BIOS options, that you can replicate to the BIOS of another system,

to the specified filename. The file name you specify should have INI extension

and should be created in the default installation directory. The format of the

output is in an INI format, with the utility name as the section header. If a file

with the same name already exists, the information is appended to the file. If

this option is used with other function commands, the commands are applied

in the order in which they appear. This option captures replicable BIOS

options. The file is created in the directory where you run the Dell Command |

Configure command.

In the INI file, bootorder is displayed as a list of comma separated device

short forms in the order they are assigned. A plus (+) symbol with the device

name indicates that the device is enabled and a minus (-) symbol indicates

that the device is disabled. You can change the boot order by changing the

order of the list. You can also enter the device number instead of the device

name.

You can enable or disable the devices by changing the symbol displayed with

the device. These symbols are optional and if not present, the current status

of the device is retained.

NOTE: The bootorder option in the INI file is applied to a system based

on its active boot list. If the INI file is generated from a system with the

active boot list set as UEFI, and it is applied on a system with the active

boot list set as legacy, the boot order is set only on devices that are

available in the system. It is recommended that you apply the INI file on a

system with the same active boot list as of the system from where the INI

file is generated.

Example

C:\>cctk -o <c:/cctk>/logfile
