need for the remote administrator take any action to enable (or “deploy”) HP Sure Start. In the event a remote administrator

has a desire to modify HP Sure Start policy settings, the same Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) API’s or HP

BIOS Configuration Utility scripts that are used to Manage other platform BIOS policies can be used to manage HP Sure Start

Policies.

Remote visibility of HP Sure Start events is via the Windows Event Viewer. This approach provides the flexibility for the

customer to use their existing and preferred management agent/console to access the events using existing mechanisms

across all versions of Windows.
