Hi,

I have few servers where i would like to remotely set the parameter "Allowing login with iLO accounts" using the ilorest powershell tool from windows.

appreciate someone guid me the usage of ilorest as there is not clear information about this parameter.

below is the method to do GUI based, but i need this to be using powershell script or cmd line to apply on multiple hosts.

You can use iLO config utility to set the account login.
Here is the link - https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?language=en_US&collectionId=MTX-39f26660bdcf4ee6&tab=releaseNotes

Further troubleshooting will require us to schedule a VR and check for current BIOS settings.
