ESXi enable SecureBoot / TPM

Hey all,

I run ESXI 6.7u3 on a Asus X99-s with 128GB RAM and Xeon E5-2696 v4.

It has multiple VM’s and I recently upgraded one the VM’s from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I’ve noticed I’m stuck on a particular version of Win11 as the VM isnt meeting Microsoft requirements. e.g. TPM.

I purchased and installed the TPM 2.0 modual and enabled it in the BIOS. The BIOS is showing SecureBoot Enabled.

However I can not get the ESXI CLI to enable SecureBoot.

I can not add TPM or vTPM as they are not present as a hardware option in ESXI Host or vCentre Server.

I ran: /usr/lib/vmware/secureboot/bin/secureBoot.py -c and get the following result: All acceptance levels validated

I ran /usr/lib/vmware/secureboot/bin/secureBoot.py -s yet still shows DISABLED

Then other instructions say to run the following command:

esxcli system settings encryption get but this also also fails as an unknown command: Error: Unknown command or namespace system settings encryption get
I am fully patched up according to Update Manager.

Any thoguhts?
