Set-SecureBootUEFI |
Sets the Secure Boot-related UEFI variables such as Platform Key, Key Exchange Key, Signature Database and Forbidden Signature Database.
Set-SecureBootUEFI -Name <String> [-ContentFilePath <String>] [-SignedFilePath <String>] -Time <String>
[-AppendWrite] [-OutputFilePath <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
Set-SecureBootUEFI -Name <String> [-Content <Byte[]>] [-SignedFilePath <String>] -Time <String> [-AppendWrite]
[-OutputFilePath <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
The Set-SecureBootUEFI cmdlet takes a formatted content object that is created by running the Format-SecureBootUEFI cmdlet and a signed file, combines the twos and attempts to set the package in one of the Secure Boot variables. The supported Secure Boot variables include Platform Key (PK), Key Exchange Key (KEK), Signature Database (DB), and Forbidden Signature Database (DBX).
This cmdlet returns an UEFIEnvironmentVariable object if successful, otherwise displays an error.
This cmdlet runs on both UEFI and BIOS (non-UEFI) computer.If the computer does not support Secure Boot or is a non-UEFI computer, then this cmdlet returns an error displaying the following: Cmdlet not supported on this platform.
If Windows PowerShell® is not run in administrator mode, then this cmdlet returns an error displaying the following: Unable to set proper privileges. Access was denied.
If the signed file supplied to this cmdlet is not valid, then this cmdlet returns an error displaying the following: Incorrect authentication data.

TIME BASED AUTHENTICATED WRITE ACCESS
This example sets the information obtained from the Format-SecureBootUEFI cmdlet to the DBX UEFI variable. This cmdlet supplies a path to the signed package to be authenticated. The file named GeneratedFileToSign.bin is a digest created by the Format-SecureBootUEFI cmdlet that needs to be signed according to the UEFI specification. The second command runs the SignTool.exe tool from the current directory to sign the digest. The SignTool.exe tool can be downloaded from Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=236500 on MSDN.

This example creates formatted data that is not signed and sets the unsigned data into the UEFI variable named db.
Indicates that the contents of the current variable are appended instead of overwritten.
Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases: append
Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
Specifies the file that contains the contents that is being set to the environment variable.

Accepted values: PK, KEK, db, dbx
Required: True
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)

Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
Specifies the signed data that is paired with the contents that are being set to the environment variable.
If only the name is specified, then the file must be in the current working directory; otherwise the full path of the file must be specified.
