Below are Windows (winRM) and Linux (wsman) examples that apply all the iDRAC attributes. Replace
[IP_ADDRESS], [USER_NAME], and [PASS_WORD] with the actual IP address, username, and password.
winRM format:
winrm i ApplyAttributes http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-
schema/2/root/dcim/DCIM_iDRACCardService?SystemCreationClassName=DCIM_C
omputerSystem+CreationClassName=DCIM_iDRACCardService+SystemName=DCIM:C
omputerSystem+Name=DCIM:iDRACCardService -u: [USER_NAME] -p:[PASSWORD] -
r:https://[IP_ADDRESS]/wsman -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic -timeout:120000 -
file:iDRAC.Embedded.1_setatts.xml
WSMAN format:
wsman invoke -a ApplyAttributes -h [IP_ADDRESS] -P 443 -u [USER_NAME] -p [PASSWORD] -N root/dcim -c
