Hi,

You may try remote BIOS configuration using HP Scripting Toolkit for Windows.

The Configuration Replication Utility (CONREP) can be used to capture or replicate server configuration settings, but basically it configures system BIOS settings.

Refer the below links:

Some BIOS settings can be set via iLO.

Thanks Johan Guldmyr!

I have checked about HP iLO's. Generation iLO 2 don't support Boot Order configuraton, but generation iLO 3, 4 and newer (i think), support this options. In my case has iLO 3 supported Boot Order options and this was the solution for this example. Now I will checked out other options for BIOS configurations.

Thanks!
