You can enhance security by modifying WMI‐based administration scripts to establish an encrypted remote connection as follows: 1. Set an impersonation level of ″impersonate″ 2. Set an authentication level of ″pktPrivacy″ See Appendix A, "Sample Visual Basic scripts for configuring BIOS settings," on page 11 for sample scripts used to implement WMI‐based administration scripts that include these parameters for encryption. @Copyright Lenovo 2009 9
