How to nd the boot order (sequence) of the boot
conguration using
DCIM_OrderedComponent.AssignedSequence
property?
When a DCIM_BootCongSetting instance (Legacy or UEFI) has multiple DCIM_BootSourceSetting instances (boot devices) associated
with it through instances of the DCIM_OrderedComponent association, the value of the DCIM_OrderedComponent.AssignedSequence
property is used to determine the sequence in which the associated DCIM_BootSourceSetting instances (boot devices) are used during
the boot process. A DCIM_BootSourceSetting, whose associated CIM_OrderedComponent.AssignedSequence property is equal to 0 is
ignored and not considered part of the boot order.
How to change the boot order?
The boot order can be changed using the DCIM_BootCongSetting.ChangeBootOrder() method. The ChangeBootOrder() method sets
the order in which the instances of DCIM_BootSourceSetting are associated with a DCIM_BootCongSetting instance. The method has
one input parameter; Source. The Source parameter, is an ordered array of PartComponent property from DCIM_OrderedComponent
class that represents the association between DCIM_BootSourceSetting instances (boot devices) and DCIM_BootCongSetting
instance (boot list type-Legacy or UEFI).
How to disable boot devices?
On changing the boot order, the value of the AssignedSequence property on each instance of DCIM_OrderedComponent, that
associates the target DCIM_BootCongSetting instance with a DCIM_BootSourceSetting instance that is not present in the input array
of Source parameter, is set to 0, which indicates that the device is disabled.
Fail login message appear when connect to
namespace with wbemtest. How can I overcome that?
Launch wbemtest with Administrator privilege level to overcome any login message. Go to the Internet Explorer from the All Programs list,
right-click and Run as administrator to start the wbemtest and avoid any namespace oriented error.
How do I run TechCenter scripts without any issues?

1 Please congure winrm on the system using the command winrm quickconfig.
2 Check if the token support exists on the system by referring to:
• The F2 Screen in BIOS Setup.
• Using tool like wbemtest to check the key value dene in the script to be existing on the system.
