Re: Any chance there's a way to set that in the bios without connecting a monitor, mouse and keyboard to it and pressing F2 at startup to get into BIOS? yes.  you can be a domain admin to push out bios custom policy to these pcs remotely.  you need this Dell tool: Dell Client Configuration Toolkit Solved: Disabling the WIFI remotely on OptiPlex 7060? - Dell Community
I have a few month old optiplex PC running windows 10 pro that's 'headless' - no monitor, keyboard and mouse.  (is that the right name for that setup?). I connect to it remotely (it runs win 10 pro and has logmein installed on it). Turns out I didn't set it to auto restart after power outage in the Bios when first setting it up. Any chance there's a way to set that in the bios without connecting a monitor, mouse and keyboard to it and pressing F2 at startup to get into BIOS? I'm thinking (hoping) - There's an app that talks to / connects to the bios?  PowerEdge servers have openmanage, which does that sort of thing, right? And / or there's a way to script it? I know that you can do a bios upgrade from Windows, right?  Download an exe from dell support site, then run it.  It reboots the box and at startup, the PC knows to boot up and upgrade the BIOS?  So it would seem there's some amount of space somewhere to store the newer BIOS version.  And for the box to know to install that newer version. I remember 'the old days' where that Dell upgrade exe would have you make a bootable USB drive, with the new BIOS on it, boot from that and have it upgrade the BIOS. so: 1) Any idea on how to make changes to BIOS on a headless box short of doing it locally and connect a monitor, mouse and keyboard to it. 2) There's Internet KVMs, right?  connect a device that connects to monitor and USB ports and ethernet and then you connect to the device over the internet.  Kinda like idrac on a server.  anyone have a recommendation for a cheap device like that? 3) in general, how do you deal with the rare times you might have to connect to a headless PC before it boots into the OS?  For system repairs, seeing why it doesn't boot, etc.? THANKS!
I have a headless (no monitor) Optiplex. Can I access BIOS from OS remotely?
