Call HP Support to have them sort the issue/issues out. You have on-site warranty on those new machines and they seem to need it.

Re: Installing TITAN V on Z440
Thx for the quick answer .
I think my Z440 includes 700W PSU . Do you think it is enough ? According to NVIDIA website the recommended Power supply is 600W

Re: Installing TITAN V on Z440
700W should be enough.
The Titan X Pascal card i use have the same requirements and i have not had any issues when rendering video using both the CPU and GPU.

4K Video Rendering from Ae Farm (Mac / PC)
I own a small production company in Australia and we have a unique project for a fitness app filming exercises on a Green screen with equipment in the hundreds of clip shooting 4k RAW and ending up with compressed H.264 and H.265 Apple Watch, Iphone and Apple TV files turned around in 2 weeks. We have solved every issue except render times and a few months ago installed 2 Synology enterprise 10Gbe NAS units so the VFX artists can work on a centralised file, grading is in Resolve, Keying and effects in Ae with Red Giant, Neat Video + Reel Motion plugins across most clips. Originally I had 8 Mac Computers setup as slaves in a render farm running Squidnet and 4 x 12 Core Mac Pros maxed out as workstations but after weeks and weeks of downtime trying to get this to work I had to kill the render farm and export through media encoder manually to every machine which worked but labour intensive and not a scalable solution. In the middle of all this my VFX guys have been at me for months to try a Treadripper and I know nothing of PC's and have never used them for the last 15years but with the farm down I got one as a last resort to test, (from memory so excuse the exact terms) I had a Threadripper 16 core using the ROG extreme board with 10Gbe built in, Samsung 1tb 960 PRO M.2 SSD Boot disk and 1TB backup HDD, 64gb Gskill ram, GTX 11gb GPU and I was blown away, this cost me 1/3 of the price of the Mac Pro and was about 4-6 times faster rendering out on its own.
So now im eating my words and trying with the little knowledge I have for someone to help spec out a build we can do to scrap the render farm and build a single dedicated Rendering workhorse. So whats possible and what is the best machine I could build not to edit on but purely so the VFX guys can output their clips when done from Ae to Media Encoder outputting files as fast as possible? Im happy to spend some good money on this if its the right solution but im growing at the moment and funds are not unlimited and like most small business tight with growing pains. I need to prove to the client I can solve their issues with quick turn around times and happy to invest in a solution. Im also happy to entertain some good second hand parts if anyone has some available and it doesn't need to look good just operate as an ultimate workhorse.
A nother solution ive found is to use three seperate machiens for each encoding 1-Apple Watch, 2-Apple Iphpone, 3.Apple TV and use a watch folder to send them to each computer for seperate encoding using lower spec machines.
Thanks in advance any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: HPE Support Case 5329170717 for HP ProLiant ML10 Server
Hi:
You are on the wrong support forum for servers.
Please contact HP Enterprise Corporation...

Re: 4K Video Rendering from Ae Farm (Mac / PC)
software drives the hardware, i strongly recomend you contact the makers of the software packages you use and see what they recomend, and/or state that you are interested in using a threadripper based system. they can give you a solid recomendation on what hardware they support.
also asking on the forums of each software package you use can give you usefull information.
this forum is mostly for general hardware/software support, and i think your questions/needs really require a very specific focus that is best answered by the users of the software or the makers of the software you use , they can provide you with a specific hardware recomendation that suits your needs once you know this you can look at hp workstations and see which HP models meets those recomendations

BIOSConfigUtility64.exe - unable to change BIOS password
I'm working on configuring our companies workstations and mobile devices AMT settings. We want to disable AMT in light of the security vulnerabilities they afford.
Some of our workstations have BIOS passwords that we are unable to change. To test, we created a new password with HPQPswd64.exe. We ran the BIOS Configuration Utility on a test machine that has a BIOS password and we're getting this message
.\BiosConfigUtility64.exe /Set:"Z440-Workstation-AMT-Disable.txt" /nspwdfile:"biospassword.bin"
<BIOSCONFIG Version="" Computername="COMPUTERNAME" Date="2018/05/08" Time="11:13:22" UTC="-7">
<ERROR msg="Unable to process command. Password is set, but no password file is provided" />
<ERROR msg="BCU return value" real="10" translated="10" />

Anyone had this issue before?

Re: BIOSConfigUtility64.exe - unable to change BIOS password
Haven't resorted to that yet. I've got about 15 different HP models to deal with, over 900 systems to configure. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to that to configure things.

Re: BIOSConfigUtility64.exe - unable to change BIOS password
Seems a bug in the 64bit ConfigUtility tool or the AMT try the workarounds below
set a password for AMT, ( i suspect this is the cause of the error 10 in your case)
or
try specifying the full path to the TPMEnable.REPSET file
or,
create the password bin file with the 32-bit password application and not the 64-bit,
but use the 64-bit utility to assign the password and config txt file during the task sequence.

Reset or change BIOS admin password remotely
Hi, I must change some bios settings and I know I can do it with HP BCU but the problem is that we have 400+ Desktops with diferent BIOS password setted and I can't use BCU to set this settings because password for every PC is required.
I read this post https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-Notebooks/Removing-and-Resetting-BIOS-password-for-BIOS-update/td-p/6039228 but I can't find HPBIOSUPDREC64.exe file into BCU that do the job.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you very much!
Luca

Re: Reset or change BIOS admin password remotely
as far as i know, you must enter the current bios password when using the BCU util, if you used diffrent passwords on all of your systems then you will need to visit the systems and reset the passwords to a common one, or if you know each systems password, do it on a case by case basis
does anyone know diffrent? is it possible to over ride the current password remotely without clearing the cmos?

HPDM 4.7 SP9: Issues with gateway.exe
About two weeks ago, I applied SP9 to my HP Device Manager 4.7 SP8 Windows 2012 R2 server. The update ran without any issues.
The server and the HPDM services were not needed until Monday (yesterday). When I logged onto the server, I discovered the DM server service had crashed. I tried to manually start it, but it failed. Therefore, I rebooted the server and the server service started without issue. However, the gateway service took an extend period of time to start, but eventually completed.
As the morning progressed, I found that none of the newly deployed t530's were being discovered. As such, I ran a Device Discovery, targeted at the subnet where the devices were appearing on a simple network scan. A task that should take less than 5 mins, was still pending after 30 mins. I cancelled and resent the task a few more times. No change.
When I decided to stop the DM gateway service, it never stopped. When I looked into task manager, the service was chewing on 25% to 30% constantly. I terminated the service and it restarted. However, the service returned to 25%-30% of constant CPU usage. RAM usage is also climbing.
I fired up Resource Monitor and tagged the gateway.exe in the network monitoring. It's receiving traffic from TCs from all over the environment.
Restarted the server a few times, with no change.
I've run the HP port test from the server to a new TC and the agent is reporting success. Likewise, I ran the test from the remote location to the server. Again...success.
Anyone else having issues with SP9? Any suggested next steps?
Thanks.

Re: HP 290 G1 will not recognise PCIe serial/parallel cards
I will try updating the BIOS as suggested.
As I said: nothing shows up in Device Manager. There are no unknown devices.
StartTech do list a Windows 10 driver on that page - I think you just mis-read it. Windows XP - 7 is version 3.12.1.0. Windows 8 - 10 is version 3.18.1.0. I do have the driver but it is of no use because Windows never asks for it, because it never finds the card in the first place.
