Modifying the Virtual Machine Environment (Windows XP and Windows Server 2003)

Procedure

1. Open a Command Prompt window (cmd.exe) using an account with administrator privileges.
2. Perform the following tasks:

   Task	Steps
   Set the "Administrator" logon password to "1111".	Type net user "Administrator" 1111.
   Configure automatic logon from the Administrator account. Note The logon prompt is bypassed and the Administrator account is automatically used to log on to the system every time the virtual machine starts.	Type the following commands: REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultUserName /t REG_SZ /d Administrator /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v DefaultPassword /t REG_SZ /d 1111 /f REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" /v AutoAdminLogon /t REG_SZ /d 1 /f Restart the image. Note No logon prompt is displayed and the Administrator account is automatically used to log on.
   View all user accounts.	Type net user.
   Delete non-built-in user accounts one at a time.	Type net user “<username>” /delete. Example: net user “test” /delete
   View all network adapters with an active link	Type wmic nic where "netconnectionstatus=2" get netconnectionid /value. Example output: NetConnctionID=Local Area Connection
   Verify the DHCP status of all installed network adapters	Type netsh interface ip show config. The configuration of all installed network adapters displays. Verify that the value for DHCP enabled: is Yes.
   Configure a network adapter to use DHCP	Type netsh interface ip set address name="<network adapter>" dhcp. Example: netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" dhcp
   Disable Windows Firewall.	Type netsh firewall set opmode mode=DISABLE. Note Windows Firewall slows down the installation of Virtual Analyzer Sensors.

3. Restart the virtual machine.
