Hey everyone,
We're managing around 1000 laptops for our company, and we're looking for a way to set a BIOS password on all of them at once instead of going through each one manually. Does anyone have any suggestions or methods to do this in bulk? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're using Dell laptops, you might want to consider deploying Dell Command Configure (CCTK). You can roll it out through your mobile device management system and then execute a script to set the BIOS password along with other BIOS configurations. It's a pretty efficient way to handle bulk settings!
I actually deploy a remediation script that leverages the Dell PowerShell provider to set BIOS passwords and other settings. I’ve also got a script that clears the password, which is super helpful when leasing devices are returned. I run these scripts locally when necessary—way faster than dealing with each BIOS manually! I had a similar setup for Lenovo laptops a few years back, but I'm not sure if that’s still available.
Could you share that script? It would be really useful!
But I'm a bit skeptical about Dell's ongoing support for this tool. It’s worth checking whether it’s compatible with all your devices.
