Change bootorder on Dell computers with UEFI

0

Does anyone know a way to change the bootorder from inside the OS (Windows 7/10) on Dell computers? It is working fine with legacy mode and using cctk but does not seem to have any effect when the clients have UEFI. I need this because a solution to PXE boot clients (reinstall the OS) without initiating a OS installation from inside the current OS (like for with SCCM).

This works fine on legacy

cctk bootorder --sequence=embnic1,hdd

But not in UEFI.

Do you need it to be a no touch solution? For instance, you want to change the boot order remotely then reboot the computer and have it automatically boot in to PXE? – Appleoddity – 2018-01-17T15:40:16.533

Exactly like that. Zero touch – user2782999 – 2018-01-17T17:49:58.460

you can simply use cctk.exe ForcePxeOnNextBoot=Enabled

ForcePxeOnNextBoot is not very reliable in my opinion, changing the boot order works on many more models. – user2782999 – 2018-09-15T09:37:33.093

You are right, but I was not able to figure it out, how to change the bootorder via cctk when the clients running with UEFI. If you can share a functional solution, this would be great, for me, also for many other people facing this issue. – ph0b0s101 – 2018-09-17T10:44:18.927
