Add TPM Activation Policy for ProBook 4xx/6xx devices (TPM SLB 9670) #54

Closed texhex closed 6 years ago

texhex commented 6 years ago

@datagutten I would like to update the above mentions models with a TPM-BIOS-Settings.txt that includes the following line:

# No F1 prompt for TPM update
TPM Activation Policy==No prompts

I do not have any of these models, but would expect that if they feature the SLB9670 this setting to be supported.

Would this be OK for you?

If the model has SLB9670 the setting should be valid. ProBook 640 G1 has SLB 9656, but the setting is also valid there. Upgrading SLB 9656 is another story.

Thanks, I think I was able to update all. The first commit documented above should actually read "EliteDesk 8x0 G3: Added TPM BIOS..." but I forgot that...

Regarding the SLB 9656 (G1 and G2) models: Yes, this is first class cluster f***. The IFX update tool requires the TPM Owner Password if it isn't saved to the registry. We disallowed that storage since it was a GPO setting, so the basic procedure in our case is:

We have received a working script to do all this last week, but it took the external contractor 8 weeks to code this. No chance that I include all this in BIOS Sledgehammer.

Changes made, closing issue.
