![]() Once installed, you can see the boot order with this command:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\Command Configure\X86_64\cctk.exe BootOrder -BootListType=uefi I would prefer something built into Windows (since Windows can apparently do it for itself) instead of having to download a third-party tool for different makes/models of computers.įor Dell computers, there's a Dell utility, "Dell Command | Configure" (version 4.x version 3.x works differently) that will do the job. ![]() So what is the correct way to, programmatically, boot the computer from the network? Channeler's suggestion to use a Dell tool might work, but when I went to download it, it looks like there's a different version of the tool for every Dell model (or at least, the download wanted my model and/or service tag number and acted like it mattered), and I haven't had a chance to chase that option down any further yet. So, BCDEDIT is not the route for telling the computer to boot from the network. But I understand you to be saying that's incorrect. I could never find a definitive statement to that effect, and knowing that Windows itself seems to alter the firmware settings (as it can configure *something* to boot from the network), and knowing that the Linux tool efimanager can alter the firmware settings, and knowing that BCEDIT discussions seem to indicate that it alters the firmware settings, I assumed that BCDEDIT actually does alter firmware settings. (We're booting from UEFI, not BIOS I suspect you're still using BIOS booting, which is probably why you're not seeing the change happening.) ![]() I understand you to be saying that BCDEDIT does not alter the firmware settings.
