  1. Set the BIOS password on the system if not set already using the following PowerShell command: Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\dcim\sysman -ClassName DCIM_BIOSService | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName SetBIOSAttributes -Arguments @{AttributeName=@("AdminPwd");AttributeValue=@("<Admin password>")}
  2. Enable TPM security using the following command: Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\dcim\sysman -ClassName DCIM_BIOSService | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName SetBIOSAttributes -Arguments @{AttributeName=@("Trusted Platform Module ");AttributeValue=@("1");AuthorizationToken="<Admin password>"}
  3. Restart the system.
  4. Activate the TPM using the following command: Get-CimInstance -Namespace root\dcim\sysman -ClassName DCIM_BIOSService | Invoke-CimMethod -MethodName SetBIOSAttributes -Arguments @{AttributeName=@(" Trusted Platform Module Activation");AttributeValue=@("2");AuthorizationToken="<Admin password>"}
