Windows SMM Security Mitigations Table
(WSMT) Compliance for Dell Command |
Configure 4.5
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 user interface 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.
