About Configuring Support Tools

All basic configuration required by Support Tools is set during installation. Immediately after installation, no further configuration is necessary to begin using the product.

However, at some point you may want to modify the settings chosen during installation, or use certain optional behaviors that require further configuration.

These post-installation configuration options include:

•Modifying the basic Support Tools setting specified during installation (network time server, privileged use group, Repository path, and TCP/IP port).

•Excluding the Support Tools Repository from continuous virus scans.

•Installing Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) on Cisco Unified Nodes running SQL 2000 so that this information can be reported on by the Support Tools System Interrogate utility.

•Adding information about specific processes and services that display in the Processes & Services screen.
