150Updating Security Identifiers (SIDs) and computer names

Using Ghost Walker

Table 11-1	Command-line options

Switch		Description

/AV=ALL		Specifies that all other volumes are to be included as additional
		volumes.
		/AV=ALL cannot be combined with the /AV=<drv>:<part>
		switch.

/SURE		Specifies that the update should start without user confirmation.

/DIAG		Specifies that the utility can only generate diagnostic dumps and
		log files (not update the computer name or SID).

/IGNORE		Specifies that Ghost Walker should not check Windows NT or
_DOMAIN		2000 installations for domain membership.

/REBOOT		Restarts the computer after a successful update.

/REPORT		Generates a report containing details of the update to
[=<filespec>]		\UPDATE.RPT. An alternate report file can be specified.

/LOGGING		Specifies that diagnostic logging is generated to the Gwalklog.txt
		file. Recommended for Technical Support use only.

/SAFE_		Ensures that all diagnostic logging gets flushed to disk by closing
LOGGING		and reopening the Gwalklog.txt file after every log statement.
		This results in very slow execution. Recommended for Technical
		Support use only.

/#E=<license file>		Specifies a Ghost license file to activate Ghost Walker.

/H/HELP/?		Shows command-line syntax Help.

/SID=		Specifies a replacement SID to be used instead of a randomly
<replacement SID>		generated one. The replacement SID must be in the format S-1-
		5-21-xxx-xxx-xxx and have the same number of characters as the
		original SID.

/IGNORE_		Disables the warning generated by Ghost Walker when it
ENCRYPTFILES		encounters Windows 2000/XP NTFS encrypted files during its
		initial disk scan.
		Changing the SID of a Windows 2000 installation results in
		indecipherable NTFS encrypted files.
