Dell just released a new BIOS update for the Dell Optiplex 755 system, version A13. This update includes an AMT firmware update to version 3.2.3 also that resolves a couple of security issues. I just performed the update on an Optiplex 755 that I had already provisioned, and it didn't break anything

 

If you're deploying the BIOS update via a ESM software package, such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007, you can automate the staging of the BIOS update (without forcing a reboot) using the following command line:

 

O755-A13.exe -noreboot -nopause

 

Get it while it's hot!

It's great. I'll install the update as soon as possible.

What if you have an admin password on the BIOS.  Can you resolve this on a single command line?  If I start the bios without any command it is asking for a password.  So with a commandline??

running into the same issue as Francois, we have admin passwords set on all of our clients, -NOPAUSE only works with out a password. is there a way to specify the password in the command?
