Which is weird, because 2 Dell E7240’s side by side one works, one doesn’t. 
Same TS used.

Is it possible this is something with the BIOS? I mean these machines cannot be 
anymore same.

And I am not sure what it is actually referencing. The options are the same. Is 
‘%s’ supposed to mean something?

It must not like this: --tpmactivation=activate

I see an error code of 106 in the log. Which is “Invalid argument for the 
provided option” based on the cross-ref here ->

I thought I had attached a scrubbed version of the smsts.log

Should be the TPM_Error.log file

Yes. I thought it was weird, so I upgraded from BIOS A14 to A15.

Cleared out the TPM. Started over again and Still fails.

I reimaged the machine without Bitlocker to see if it would fail anywhere else, 
and it worked fine.
Then started over again, and still fails.

I am almost tempted to just image it normally and activate the TPM myself (if 
that will work) but I was hoping this has been seen before.

Thanks,

as it's only happening on one machine have you tried clearing the tpm and 
upgrading the bios, then try again ?

I have a Dell Latitude E7240.

I have this one stubborn laptop that refuses to have the TPM activated during 
my OSD. All other E7240’s work fine but this one.

In the smsts.log file I see this error:

Failed to run the action: Activate TPM. Unknown error (Error:00000106; Source: 
unknown)

My task sequence does the following (with what the command line is):

Enable TPM Task:
Enable HAPI - x:\CCTK\HAPI\hapint.exe -i -k C-C-T-K -p X:\CCTK\HAPI\
Set temp BIOS password -X:\CCTK\cctk.exe --setuppwd=12345
Enable TPM - x:\CCTK\cctk.exe --tpm=on --valsetuppwd=12345
Remove Temp Password - X:\CCTK\cctk.exe --setuppwd= --valsetuppwd=12345
Restart

Activate TPM Task:
Enable HAPI - x:\CCTK\HAPI\hapint -i -k C-C-T-K -p X:\CCTK\HAPI\
Set temp BIOS password - X:\CCTK\cctk.exe --setuppwd=12345
Activate TPM – This is where it fails - x:\CCTK\cctk.exe 
--tpmactivation=activate --valsetuppwd=12345
Remove Temp password - X:\CCTK\cctk.exe --setuppwd= --valsetuppwd=12345
Restart computer

This is the first time I have ever had it fail, The Error lookup tool states: 
Insert the diskette for drive %1.

I have attached a stripped version of the log.

Thanks,

Kevin Johnston
