Using ForcedNetworkFlag feature
This feature/option allows you to control the UEFI variable FORCED_NETWORK_FLAG to the provided input value. In the OOBE screen, if the flag is set to 1, the user is forced to connect to the Internet.
Example: To read ForcedNetworkFlag:
PS DellSmbios:\UEFIvariables> get-item .\ForcedNetworkFlag
Example: To set ForcedNetworkFlag:
PS DellSmbios:\UEFIvariables> set-item .\ForcedNetworkFlag 0
NOTE:ForcedNetworkFlag is not supported on ARM64 systems.
NOTE:get-item and
set-item both are supported for the flag.
NOTE:ForcedNetworkFlag is only supported on UEFI platforms.
NOTE:The
get-item for
ForcedNetworkFlag might fail because either the platform is not UEFI or FORCED_NETWORK_FLAG is not defined in UEFI space. Try to set this flag to the preferred value and then get its value.
NOTE:In case of reimaging the system, this flag maintains its value until the initial setup screen stage after reimaging. After the initial setup, once the system boots, it is mandatory to define or set
ForcedNetworkFlag to the preferred value.
NOTE:ForcedNetworkFlag is part of operating system and not part of managed BIOS, hence no password protection is provided.
