Determining Whether a BIOS Update Is Required
The first step in preparing for Microsoft’s upcoming security changes—specifically, the rollout of new Secure Boot certificates via a cumulative Windows Update in 2026 — is to verify whether each device is running a BIOS version that meets the minimum requirements.
Major OEMs such as HP and Dell provide documentation listing the minimum BIOS versions necessary to ensure compatibility with the new certificates. Devices that do not meet these requirements must be updated.
HP Devices
HP has made this process simpler by offering a clear indicator that shows whether a device already includes the required BIOS update.
You can check this using the following PowerShell command:
(Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_ComputerSystemProduct).Version
This command queries the WMI/CIM class Win32_ComputerSystemProduct and returns the value of the Version property.
Interpretation:
- If the output contains
SBKPFV3, the device already has the required HP BIOS update that prepares it for the new certificates. - If
SBKPFV3is not present, the system requires an HP BIOS update to meet the upcoming Secure Boot certificate requirements.
Capturing BIOS Data with Altiris Inventory Solution
By default, Altiris Inventory Solution does not capture this BIOS-related value automatically.
However, as with many scenarios, Symantec IT Management Suite is highly flexible and allows you to extend the inventory easily.
To collect this information, you can simply create a custom inventory and add the required value to the inventory data.
Once the value has been captured, you can leverage it in Altiris to create meaningful filters and reports.
For example, you might create the following two filters:
- HP devices meet the minimum BIOS version for BlackLotus
- HP devices do not meet the minimum BIOS version for BlackLotus
These filters can then be used to quickly identify compliant and non-compliant systems and take appropriate action, such as updating the BIOS on affected devices.
Dell Devices
Dell also provides a regularly updated list of the minimum supported BIOS versions required for the Secure Boot certificate transition. These list serves as the reference point for determining whether devices from these manufacturer needs to be updated.
Report for HP
We have created a custom Altiris report for HP devices that provides a clear overview of BIOS compliance across the environment.
The report compares the installed BIOS version on each HP device with the minimum BIOS version required by HP, based on the official HP affected platforms and minimum BIOS version list.
Report Status Values
Each device is evaluated and assigned one of the following compliance states:
- NOT_IN_HP_LIST
The HP model detected by the Altiris Inventory Solution is not listed in HP’s affected platforms and minimum BIOS version documentation.
This does not necessarily indicate a problem, but the device cannot be validated automatically. - OK
The installed BIOS version meets or exceeds the minimum BIOS version required by HP.
No action is required for this device. - UPDATE_REQUIRED
The installed BIOS version is lower than the minimum version required by HP.
A BIOS update is recommended to ensure compliance and mitigate potential security or stability issues.
Benefits of the Report
- Centralized visibility of HP BIOS compliance
- Fast identification of devices requiring BIOS updates
- Clear distinction between compliant, non-compliant, and unsupported models
- Easy integration into existing Altiris reporting and dashboards
This report helps administrators proactively manage BIOS updates and maintain a secure, compliant HP device fleet.

Report for DELL
In addtion to the HP Report we have created a custom Altiris report for DELL devices that provides a clear overview of BIOS compliance across the environment.
The report compares the installed BIOS version on each Dell device with the minimum BIOS version required by Dell, based on the official Dell minimum BIOS version list.
Report Status Values
Each device is evaluated and assigned one of the following compliance states:
- NO_MATCH_IN_DELL_TABLE
The Dell model detected by the Altiris Inventory Solution is not listed in Dell minimum Bios Version list documentation.
This does not necessarily indicate a problem, but the device cannot be validated automatically. - OK
The installed BIOS version meets or exceeds the minimum BIOS version required by Dell.
No action is required for this device. - UPDATE_REQUIRED
The installed BIOS version is lower than the minimum version required by Dell.
A BIOS update is recommended to ensure compliance and mitigate potential security or stability issues.
Benefits of the Report
- Centralized visibility of Dell BIOS compliance
- Fast identification of devices requiring BIOS updates
- Clear distinction between compliant, non-compliant, and unsupported models
- Easy integration into existing Altiris reporting and dashboards
This report helps administrators proactively manage BIOS updates and maintain a secure, compliant Dell device fleet.
