I made this autoit script to deploy new BIOS firmware and configuration. You need to download the tools from HP and generate password and configuration files.
You might want to change the registry keys in the end to suit your company better.
There are some debug-lines you can "uncomment" to read the computer model, or you can use "wmic computersystem get model" or msinfo32.exe.
