Applying A SCE File

NOTE: You should have administrator privileges.

To apply SCE on a target system:

Double-click the SCE, or from the command prompt, navigate to the directory where SCE is located, and type the

name of the SCE file.

For example, C:\Users\SystemName\Documents>"<filename>” .

NOTE: You cannot run SCE on Windows PE systems. For more information on applying SCE on target systems

running the Windows PE operating systems, see Troubleshooting.

SCE Details

The common scenarios of using SCE are as follows:

• When you apply SCE on a target system, SCE silently installs the BIOS settings on the target system. When the

installation is complete, SCE generates a log file with the SCE name at the same location. The log file contains all

the applied options and the status of execution for the SCE file.

NOTE: To generate the log file in a required location: Specify the location of the log file. For example,

SCE.exe /l="<folder_path>\log.txt".

• When you apply SCE on a target system from a read-only location, provide the /nolog option to prevent

generation of the log file. For example, SCE.exe /nolog. The /nolog option helps to successfully run SCE

and informs that a log file is not created as SCE is in a read-only location.

• If you run SCE from a read-only location without providing /nolog, then SCE fails to run.

• To apply SCE on a Windows PE system, extract SCE from a Windows system using /e option. For example,

SCE.exe/e=<folder_path_to extract SCE>.

• If you have configured a setup or system password on the target system, and while exporting SCE, if you have

not provided the same password in the BIOS Setup or System Password Dialog box, then you cannot double-

click and apply SCE on the target system. However, while applying SCE from the command prompt, you can

provide the setup or system password of the target system.

NOTE: Example of providing setup password: C:\Windows\CCTK\SCE>"<filename>" --

valsetuppwd= <password string>

NOTE: Example of providing system password: C:\Windows\CCTK\SCE>"<filename>" --

valsyspwd= <password string>
