Using SetConfig.vbs on T500\T510\T520 change boot order?

Everyone on a T500\t510\T520 BIOS boot order successfully changed using the (SetConfig.vbs) utility of Lenovo WMI Bios?  Whenever I try to change the bios boot order by using this utility, I get the error, "invalid parameter."

Parameter variables are: SetConfig.vbs [Setting] [value]

I changed other settings successfully, but I can get it to work.

Current BOOTORDER by using "ListAll.vbs".

BootOrder = HDD0:USBFDD:ATAPICD0:USBCDCILAN:USBHDD:HDD1

Command I use on a T500 is: SetConfig.vbs BOOTORDER USBFDD:HDD0:ATAPICD0:USBCDCILAN:USBHDD:HDD1

I'm just this test of an operating system running to possibly use in SCCM OSD task sequence.

There is no BIOS password.

Any ideas?  I get the same error on all 3 models listed above and I'm using the latest version of the WMI utility.

Thank you

Correct command is BootOrder and not BOOTORDER.

Solved.

  • Pavilion dv7-3112: arrows does not work cannot change boot order

    Hi all

    Ive just bought a 2nd pavilion laptop in hand I can't reformat. My problem is the arrow keys of the keyboard, to the top to the bottom and right don't work only the arrow to the left. Someone else changed the boot order so I can't return it back to boot from the cd rom without arrows. As I am here in Australia I don't have access to the new keyboards. Can give you any advice. thnx in advance.

    Hello

    One option would be to temporarily connect a keyboard external usb.

    In addition, if you are trying to boot from an installation disc, I could do this via the Boot Manager menu, rather than set the boot priority in the bios menu because it is often ignored - you can do the following.

    Insert the installation disc and the laptop shutdown .

    Click next to the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Boot Menu, and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

    Use the arrow keys to select the option of CDROM and press ENTER - if you are prompted to "Press any key to continue...". "- make.

    Kind regards

  • Change boot order

    Hello everyone.

    My first time on this forum.  If all goes well, I'm compatible with its label.  Please correct if I'm not.

    I'm trying to boot from an external hard drive (Seagate).  This drive has a LInux distro.  I use a HP-ProBook-4525 s with Windows 7 above.  For some reason, I am unable to access the Advanced page of the BIOS settings.  Therefore, I am unable to change the boot order.  I can't find this page in the development of POSITIONS.  I hit 'esc' and then use key F10 to access BIOS settup.  However, there is no window that I could find which allows me to change the order.

    I would appreciate help on this.

    Thank you

    Mark Allyn

    Hello again,

    Well, it turns out that I could fix it myself.  I did not understand how to interpret the BIOS window.  I finally understood what 'Legacy Boot Options' (or words to that effect) meant that I went to the page of the Bios settings.  The entries of the order appear if it highlights the grayed out "Legacy" entry.

    Sorry to waste people time.

    But I took the time to update my BIOS, and so there's some good that came out.

    See you soon,.

    Unfortunaly, it does not work in esxi 5.1, the powercli returns without error, but does not update the boot order. I have try the hard drive, cdrom and I have the same symptom.

    Hello, thierry_ma-

    Here, it is another way.  We wrote on this topic to vNugglets.com some time in the post of the change via PowerShell VM boot order .  I just checked that this method always works against a v5.1 environment.  You might have a look at this post.

    And, as noted at the bottom of this post, the virtual computer startup order in this way script setting seems to make such that that particular boot order VM may only be changed be script later.  So something to consider.

    In any case - how does do for you?

  • 5.3 recompose question - HD change boot order


    I recently inherited a VMware View 5.3 environment and I have a problem when I recompose systems.  Can I deploy a new virtual machine from a recent snapshot, but whenever I have to recompose computers startup changes of office the HD in the BIOS and the system will not start until I have manually change the order.   I tried to reconstruct the system to the previous snapshot and had the same problem.  Thoughts?

    I was tor able to solve the problem by removing the CD-ROM drive in the image of the mother and adding it back in.  He seems to have been a problem with an upgrade of virtual hardware that was made some time ago, but was never cleaned.   Once I added the new CDROM drive I took a new snapshot.  I had to remove workstations and reconstructed them with this new snapshot.  Once they have been rebuilt, I could recompose without any problem.

  • With PowerCLI change boot order

    Hello

    I have a project in which I need to force the vm to restart on the CD player.

    Is it possible to change the order of boot with power CLI?

    If not, is there a way I can do?

    Thank you

    I don't think you'd be able to do in PowerCLI.

    If you do a lot of the simpler guests would be to change the order of boot on a guest.  From there if you copy the file .nvram from the browser to store data to the other guests this should work.

    Do not think that it is supported, but it works.

    Hello

    Rather than change the boot priority in the bios menu, (HP portable computers often ignore this anyway), try the following method to boot from the CD.

    While the computer running, insert the CD, and then click stop the laptop.

    Click next to the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Boot Menu, and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

    Use the arrow keys to select the option of CDROM and press ENTER - if you are prompted to "Press any key to continue...". "- make.

  • IdeaPad U510 - change boot order

    Hello!

    I received a U510 for Christmas and I want to perform a new installation of Windows 8 via the USB port.

    Every time I restart the machine, the LENOVO screen, I press F12 but any bootmenu will appear. There's no option by entering the BIOS either.

    What can I do for the boot on USB? I tried F2, F10, F12... Please help!

    Never mind... I thought about it.

    I connected an external keyboard, active Legacy boot.

    F2 is BIOS

    F12 is the Start Menu.

  • Please help: cannot change the order of objects on the stage by dragging in the timeline

    Hi all, I am using Captivate 5.5 and try to change the order of objects on my stage.

    I searched on the internet and read the FAQ here. I cleaned my cache of projects. My slide number amounts to 61, so not very big.

    I wonder if it is because I have several interactive objects, on the other?

    For all the blocks on this stage, with the exception of the one on the left of the first line, I have a picture of grayout, a slidelet, a click box and a real picture, all stacked together. I need to order them correctly so that they play in the right way. I have the right order for the second block on the first line, but can not change the order for the rest of the objects by dragging in the timeline - it just won't let me hang out.

    Here is the screenshot of my scene and a part of the timeline. Thanks for the tips!

    Screen shot 2011-11-04 at 3.50.22 PM.png

    It turns out that I made a stupid mistake by dragging the names of objects instead of the real thing... Sorry guys.

  • Trunk / normal boot - access denied message: may have to open a session using the admin account to make specified changes

    I went into safe mode to try to resolve a problem that is "slow". When I tried to goback to normal startup, I got an access denied message. "... May have to login using the admin account to make specified changes." I am the only user of the computer and administer and logged as soon as I turn on count it. What can I do now?

    Is this the message you see:

    "An access denied error was returned while attempting to change a service. You may need to log on using an administrator account to perform the changes specified"

    If so, I bet you have a HP printer, because there is an HP PML driver that produces this effect of nuisance. It is only a nuisance and you should still be able to make your changes of msconfig, and they should stick. However, if she is really bugging you, you can watch this:
