Configure BIOS options via CCTK & UEFI
I have a TS in SCCM 2012 R2, in which I have included CCTK commands. When this TS runs on legacy hardware, it works ok. But when it runs on UEFI hardware, the BIOS tweaks via CCTK fail.
My TS first copies the CCTK files out of a package, the the X: in the PE environment, and then installs the HAPI "drivers". After which the CCTK commands are run.
As above, this works absolutely fine in Legacy mode, but not UEFI mode. This makes me think that there is an inability to copy to/write to GPT formatted HDDs, would this be about right?
I have two identical TS, one for Windows 7 and one for Windows 10. The same issue occurs.
Short of having the user boot into Legacy mode, running a 'Enable TPM' style Task Sequence, and then rebooting into UEFI mode via IPv4/IPv6, are there any other methods I'm overlooking?

I have resolved this by creating a multiplatform config file in the Command application, packaging this up and then running via command line. (Full size pic - http://i.imgur.com/A2zGzbF.png)
I've tested this on a 7450, 7270, 7470 and an Optiplex 7020. It seems to work well!
The config file consists of;
[cctk]
controlwlanradio=enable
controlwwanradio=enable
embnic1=on
embnic2=on
intlsmartconnect=enable
keyboardbacklightonacpower=enable
keyboardillumination=auto
propowntag=companyname
splashscreen=disable
tpm=on
tpmactivation=activate
uefinwstack=enable
usbpowershare=enable
wakeonlan=lanorwlan
setuppwd=password
