Windows SMM Security Mitigations Table

(WSMT) Compliance for Dell Command |

Configure 4.3

The Windows (SMM) Security Mitigations Table contains information about the ACPI table that was created for the Windows operating

system, which supports Windows virtualization-based security (VBS) features. Dell Command | Configure is WSMT compatible. This is

used for configuring the platform features on Dell Client Systems with WSMT enabled BIOS.

Following are the behavioral changes due to WSMT compliance:

• Configuration functionalities are available on the Dell Client Platforms which have the compatible version of BIOS supporting WMI/

ACPI. For more information about the platform list, see Supported Platforms.

• The following limited functionalities are available when the systems are having incompatible BIOS:

• Dell Command | Configure GUI is used for viewing all the configuration features.

• Dell Command | Configure generates SCE for multiplatform packages.

• Dell Command | Configure generates the reports with the configured values.

• Dell Command | Configure opens a saved package.

You may see the following warning messages with systems running an incompatible BIOS.

• During installation: This system does not have a WMI-ACPI compliant BIOS, so the limited functionality is available. Update the

BIOS with a compatible version, if available. For more information, see Dell Command | Configure Release Notes.

• Using CLI: This system does not have a WMI-ACPI compliant BIOS. Update the BIOS with a compatible version, if available.

• For local system package in GUI: This system does not have a WMI-ACPI compatible BIOS, and the local system SCE package

does not work on this system. Update the BIOS with a compatible version, if available.

• While running the SCE packages: This system does not have a WMI-ACPI compliant BIOS. Update the BIOS with a compatible

version, if available.
