SOLVED Task Sequence BIOS to UEFI

[lalajee2018]

Hi,

I would like to convert BIOS to UEFI for ThinkPad.

I have the Tool which does that and wrote a INI file which will turn on some settings.

I upload the two files to SCCM source location (Bios program and INI file) then created a package

And then do the task sequence



But my task sequrence is failing with error code: PPD000003

Can you please let me know what I have done wrong here.

Can you tell me what is PPD000003 ?. Is that the boot image package ?. Check if that package is distributed to DP. I also suggest you to look at smsts.log file to see why the TS is failing.

Its failing with different error now. 0x80070490.

I cant seem to find what that PPD000003.

If I remove the BIOS to UEFI bit then the task sq works fine

You need Lenovo BIOS tool to switch BIOS to UEFI
and switch mbr to gpt:.
we use for BIOS
cmd /c powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -command "(gwmi -class Lenovo_SetBiosSetting -namespace root\wmi).SetBiosSetting('SecureBoot,Enable,BIOSPASSWORD,ascii,us')"

cmd /c powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -command "(gwmi -class Lenovo_SaveBiosSettings -namespace root\wmi).SaveBiosSettings('BIOSPASSWORD,ascii,us')"

for MBR
cmd /c mbr2gpt.exe /convert /disk:0 /allowfullos

If I remove the Prepare Computer System Section then PC does get build.

post smsts.log from windows\temp

and why you format to mbr and then to gpt?

I got it working for leavova and dell. I create a package with option as "do not create a program" and got command name and value from working machine and then try using them, for example our dell latop say enable rather then activate
