Securely Distribute BIOS Password for Dell Command | Update

I want to deploy Dell Command | Update 4.9.0 to my endpoints and I want to include the BIOS password.  The password is not included in the exported configuration, so how can I configure each DCU installation to have the BIOS password?

Hi that´s right the BIOS password is not in XML file because of security (cleartext). You can set the Password by command line dcu-cli.exe /configure -BIOSPassword=Password  or you can use this approach. BIOS Password Is Not Included in the Exported Configuration of Dell Command Update | Dell US

For my lab I am using -BIOSPassword and read by script the password for my device by file/database and using a $Var to store the value to be secure no password with cleartext will be viewable in any logs. dcu-cli.exe /configure -BIOSPassword=$Var  I hope this answer your question otherwise let me know if you have more questions.
