Hi
I have a lot of servers running the same motherboard with the same kind of BIOS. I want to apply certain BIOS settings automatically without having to dig into BIOS setup. They are all running Gigabyte B360 HD3P boards, which has AMI Aptio V based BIOS. Is applying these settings as easy as dumping the BIOS from the flash chip, doing the changes, dumping again, then generating the diff of the binary file dumps, and using that diff to patch the BIOS and write it back on every other machine? Are there any caveats to doing this kind of an approach? The boards come equipped with a backup BIOS chip in case I make a mistake, so it's not high stakes or anything.
Thanks
