Can the K1000 agent effect BIOS settings?
Can the K1000 agent change or override any BIOS setting with out any script or anything being deployed? We have 2000 computers in our school system and they were set in the BIOS to power on at 5-530am every weekday morning. The last 2 days, they haven't powered on at all. I checked the BIOS and they are still set to power themselves on.
We recently purchased KACE and started deploying the agent through our network. RIght now it's just collecting inventory. We aren't pushing out any scripts or anything. Some other things happened that I'm going to check out, but I want to eliminate this as a possibility.
Thank you,
Mike

If you use Dell machines you can use the CCTK (Client Configuration Toolkit) to create a Bios configuration.
I know that you aren't want to do this, but this is a possible way for you
This can be rolled out with the KACE.
Other vendors may have similar tools.

you may want to check the last state setting, If you had a power hit and it is set stay off it could cause what you are seeing.
I did see something though...does anyone know what a KBSERVICE.SHUTDOWN file is? - mjreccoppa 10 years ago
