Description

This task will upgrade a Dell OptiPlex 9010 BIOS to version: A19

Please test this task carefully and do not target a large set of machines at once in case there is a problem. While unlikely, BIOS updates could cause permanent hardware failure that would require mothboard replacement. Use at your own risk.

NOTE: This task will often report "Failed", but will then report "Completed" after the next reboot. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

I tried to modify this to work with another model Dell (755), and the fixlet just hangs in a "Running" state. Nothing in the log files pointing to any kind of failure and the custom log file never gets written.
