How to Modify Support Tools Basic Configuration
The basic configuration settings necessary to run Support Tools (network time server, privileged
use group, Repository path, and TCP/IP port) are specified during installation. While not typically
necessary, you can modify these settings after installation.
Support Tools keeps most of its configuration values in the Windows Registry. The base key
for all values is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\CCBU\Support
Tools.
Note: After modifying any of the following settings you must restart Support Tools services
for the change to take effect.

Communication Port

The ports the ST processes use are defined in the Windows registry at the following DWORD
value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco Systems, Inc.\CCBU\Support
Tools\AppServer\Port

Location of the Support Tools Installation

This value is stored in the Windows registry in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Cisco
Systems, Inc.\CCBU\Support Tools\AppServer\InstallPath. This can be changed in the registry ,
but you must manually move the directory on the file system to the new location.

Location of the Support Tools Repository

This value is stored in the Windows registry in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTW ARE\Cisco
Systems, Inc.\CCBU\Support Tools\AppServer\RepositoryBaseDir. This can be changed in the
registry, but you must manually move the directory on the file system to the new location. The
repository location must be on a local disk (i.e., it cannot be on a network share).
