Device Collection for BIOS Settings

[MarshMan0331]

Need help building a Device collection for Machines that have AHCI enabled in the SATA operation in the BIOS Settings.

 

Thanks

You could do that with the help of some "Compliance Baselines".

 

Here is how i would do it for Lenovo Machines.

 

 

First create a new script based Compliance Setting

 

 

Then create a new compliance baseline with this Settings and deploy it to some collection. Right click the new deployment and create a new "compliant collection". This collection will hold all Lenovo machines with AHCI enabled.

 

$ahci = gwmi -Namespace root\wmi -Class Lenovo_BiosSetting -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if( $ahci -is [Object]){
foreach($setting in $ahci){
if($setting.CurrentSetting -clike "*SATA*AHCI*"){
return($true)
}
}
}
return($false)

OK, here is a simplified script, working for Lenovo and HP machines.

 

$lenovo = gwmi -Namespace root\wmi -Class Lenovo_BiosSetting -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {$_.CurrentSetting -clike "*SATA*AHCI*"}

$hp = gwmi -Namespace root\hp\instrumentedBIOS -Class HP_BIOSSetting -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {$_.CurrentValue -eq "AHCI"}

if( ( $lenovo -is [Object] ) -or ( $hp -is [Object] ) ){

return($true)

}

return($false)

We have all Dells in the Enterprise. Would i just change the name to Dell?

Thanks for the information above.

I have no Dell to test it but the following script should work ...... now for Lenovo, HP and Dell

 

$lenovo = gwmi -Namespace root\wmi -Class Lenovo_BiosSetting -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {$_.CurrentSetting -clike "*SATA*AHCI*"}

$hp = gwmi -Namespace root\hp\instrumentedBIOS -Class HP_BIOSSetting -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {$_.CurrentValue -eq "AHCI"}

$dell = gwmi -Namespace root\dellomci -Class Dell_SMBIOSSettings -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object {$_.IntegratedSATAController -eq "AHCI"}

if( ( $lenovo -is [Object] ) -or ( $hp -is [Object] ) -or ( $dell -is [Object] ) ){

return($true)

}

return($false)
