Changing DELL PE2950 Bios settings remotely

biosdellremote

I'm trying to set up remote console redirection on a few Dell boxes and I was wondering if there were anyway to turn that on without rebooting the machine and going into the BIOS. Has anyone ever done anything like this?

If you have the Dell OMSA tools installed, you can make updates to the BIOS from within the running OS. I'm more familiar with the Linux CLI version of the tools (look for commands like "omreport" and "omconfig"), but you should be able to make similar changes on Windows systems as well.
