Part 2 of this post will show you how to extend System Center Configuration Manager to be able to collect this information and show the exact class that needs to be enabled. Part 1 of this post will show you what you need to do in order to distribute Dell Command | Monitor out to your existing systems using System Center Configuration Manager. Dell Command | Monitor creates the necessary classes and properties in WMI that enables the monitoring and reporting of this information programmatically. Using Dell Command | Monitor and System Center Configuration Manager, we can determine not only which systems are running UEFI, but also which systems are UEFI capable. This is great for high level reporting on how much of the environment is running UEFI, but it does not tell us how many systems (that are not running UEFI) can run UEFI. Since UEFI is a requirement for Secure Boot, we can determine that UEFI is not enabled for a device if the Secure Boot state is not detected. This method results in the return of three possible values On (1), Off (0) or not detected (Null). In a previous post, Inventory Secure Boot State and UEFI with ConfigMgr, I provided a method that will inventory systems that are running Secure Boot.

Running UEFI is a requirement in order to take advantage of the new security features in Windows 10 like Secure Boot, Device Guard and Credential Guard. Now that Windows 10 is here, organizations are going to want to be able to report on UEFI capable systems as part of their planning so that they can be reconfigured for UEFI (instead of legacy BIOS).

Similar to the Dell Command | Configure utility, Dell recently released the Dell Command | Monitor utility (previously known as OMCI or OpenManage Client Instrumentation). Where as the Dell Command | Configure utility enables IT administrators to configure Dell Enterprise client systems, the Dell Command | Monitor allows IT administrators to monitor and inventory system configurations and system health with enterprise management consoles, like System Center Configuration Manager.

Step numbers 6 & 9 have been updated below. The simple fix is to run the following command after installing Command | Monitor on a system running Hyper-V: ‘mofcomp %systemroot%\system32\WindowsVirtualization.V2.mof’. Basically, the Dell Command | Monitor overwrites some Hyper-V WMI entries and renders it inoperable. WARNING : Installation of Dell Command | Configure version 9.1 will break Hyper-V on workstations that are running it.
