One library, native scripting control

The ThinkVantage PowerShell Library gives IT admins native scripting control over Lenovo commercial PC management. Everything installs from the PowerShell Gallery with Install-Module or Install-Script, and updates with Update-Module.

Script and module solutions

These pair a standalone script, graphical or automation-oriented, with a module whose cmdlets you can also call directly from your own scripts.

  • Think BIOS Config Tool with Lenovo.BIOS.Config. A WPF GUI for viewing, changing, exporting and deploying BIOS settings. The module's Export-LnvWmiSettings and Import-LnvWmiSettings cmdlets do the same work without the GUI.
  • Lenovo BIOS Certificate Tool with Lenovo.Bios.Certificates. Replaces Supervisor Password authentication with X.509 certificate signing. The private key never leaves its secure store, which suits zero-trust and cloud-managed fleets.
  • ThinkVantage Repository Manager. A script-based, modern alternative to Update Retriever for building and maintaining local update repositories, backed by the Lenovo.Client.RepositoryManager module. Repositories it builds work with both Lenovo.Client.Update and Commercial Vantage.

Other PowerShell solutions

Commercial Vantage Policy Manager is a script with a UI that manages Commercial Vantage group policies in Microsoft Intune, so you no longer construct large XML policy payloads by hand.
