Hi jasgud_RETSD -  Have you tried using PSEXEC?   PSExec lets you run items using the system account.  You can download psexec from the Microsoft page for Sys Internals.   Command - psexec \\localhost -s -h powershell.exe -executionPolicy bypass -Noninteractive -Noprofile -file %script%.ps1 -password %password% -file LockBIOSSetting-enable.txt -s = Run as System -h = no profile-accepteula - accepts eula I ran the your command (changing the powershell name) and confirmed you can call powershell.exe and use powershell flags (nointeractive -noprofile).   Once this to keep in mind when using psexec - the command being called (powershell.exe in this case) must be located in a directory referenced in path variables.  psexc can be executed multiple clients at once by specifying a txt file with the names of the clients you wish to target.  Multiple Clients PSEXEC @domainclients.txt -s -h powershell.exe -executionPolicy bypass -Noninteractive -Noprofile -file %script%.ps1 -password %password% -file LockBIOSSetting-enable.txt I am more insterested in getting the bios settings setup for deployments   Thanks Jeff Ragucci
