You can set BIOS attributes using the SetBIOSAttributes method. The procedure is explained below by

enabling the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as an example.

NOTE: Make sure the TPM option is cleared in the BIOS before following the procedure to enable

the TPM.

To enable TPM:

1. Set the BIOS password on the system if not set already using the following PowerShell command:

(gwmi -Class DCIM_BIOSService -Namespace root\dcim

\sysman).SetBIOSAttributes($null,$null,"AdminPwd","enter a new password")

2. To enable TPM security use the following command and restart the system after it:

(gwmi -Class DCIM_BIOSService -Namespace root\dcim

\sysman).SetBIOSAttributes($null,$null,"Trusted Platform

Module","1","provide the password")

3. To activate the TPM use the following command and again restart the system:

(gwmi -Class DCIM_BIOSService -Namespace root\dcim

\sysman).SetBIOSAttributes($null,$null,"Trusted Platform Module

Activation","2","provide the password")

4. Restart the system.

NOTE: Use PowerShell with Administrator privileges.
