In windows xp, is there a way to edit the rushd service to be able to
specify the username and password for the service all in command line?
Or before I do the rush install is there a file i can edit to have it
automaticly use a certain username and password.
Would be a cool feature to save on setup time.
I don't think you can do it with the base OS software.
I wish it could.. as that would be cool for automating installs.
I believe the correct way is to use either regedit or one of
the windows server admin tools to propagate the settings from
one working machine to the others.. I'm not sure how that works
myself.. a good book on Microsoft Administration probably covers that.
At very least I would think the Microsoft Resource Kit might have
such a tool, but then you'd have to install that on each machine,
and that's not freeware last I looked.
I know you can create new users with 'net user /add' which might
be handy for creating the local rush user (if you're using WORKGROUPS
instead of DOMAINs)
But I'm not sure there's a way to change the service settings
from the command line, esp. service usernames and passwords.
There might be some freeware out there that lets you do this,
if the resource kit doesn't.
If there is a way to do it with the built in windows software,
I don't know it.
example, instead of it defaulting in the log on tab as local system
account, i want it to choose "This account" and be able to use whatever
username and password i want.
