wincfg: Windows Configuration Utility - Overview

The wincfg utility makes it easy for CA 3Tera AppLogic users to change the SID, Computer Name and Maintainer password for a running Windows appliance from the CA 3Tera AppLogic command line shell. wincfg starts the application that contains the appliance if it is not already started.

• The NewSID utility is no longer provided by Sysinternals. Visit the following websites to read further.

• It is assumed that the targeted Windows appliance has the NewSID utility installed in it for the purpose of changing the SID (wincfg prompts the user to download and install NewSID into their Windows appliance). You may obtain NewSID from a source known to you, or use either of the following alternate sources:

  • http://download.chip.eu/en/NewSID-4.1_163115.html
• The appliance must have ssh access enabled through the default interface (typically ssh access is through port 22; enabling the windows firewall may block port 22 by default).
