Because of this, older Dell hardware will still require the use of the DellBIOSProvider PowerShell module. One caveat for this new method is the WMI classes are only supported on Dell hardware released to market after calendar year 2018. This allowed me to create a new version of the Dell BIOS Settings Management script that does not require any additional content to function. Thankfully, Dell recently released a technical whitepaper documenting WMI classes that can be used to directly modify BIOS settings without needing an outside program or PowerShell module. This method works, but I was not completely satisfied with it, as the PowerShell module needs to be downloaded and installed on every system the script runs on. The method described in that post uses the DellBIOSProvider PowerShell module. Earlier this year, I wrote about how to manage Dell BIOS password s using PowerShell.
