Systems Insight Manager 6.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for MS Windows

If the disk image has already been deployed, perform the following to remove the image
from each target system.
▲ In NetWare:
The Globally Unique Identifier information is stored in a 16-byte file on the sys:\system
subdirectory of the NetWare server. This file is created and populated with the Globally
Unique Identifier when HP Systems Insight Manager performs an SNMP SET command to
the NetWare server.
To remove the permanence of the Globally Unique Identifier, delete the file
\system\cpqbssa.cfg in the NetWare SYS volume.
After the file is deleted, restart the Insight Management Agents and a new Globally Unique
Identifier is assigned by HP Systems Insight Manager when the system is discovered.
▲ In Windows NT:
The Management Agents create the Globally Unique Identifier information in an entry in the
Windows NT registry.
To remove permanence of the Globally Unique Identifier, remove the entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Compaq Insight Agent\hostGUID
After the entry is removed, restart the Insight Management Agents services. A new Globally
Unique Identifier is automatically generated.
▲ In UnixWare:
The Globally Unique Identifier information is stored in a file that is created and populated
with the Globally Unique Identifier when HP Systems Insight Manager performs an SNMP
SET command to the UnixWare server.
To remove the permanence of the Globally Unique Identifier, delete the following file from
the UnixWare system.
/var/spool/Compaq/foundation/registry/cpqhoguid.dat
After this file has been deleted, restart the Management Agents. A new Globally Unique
Identifier is assigned by HP Systems Insight Manager when the system is discovered.

12.12.1.17 After installing HP Systems Insight Manager, a CMS that is set up on a desktop appears as
a server.
Identification identifies a system as a server if SMH is found on the system. Re-identify the
CMS with WBEM credentials. The system is identified as Desktop with the correct system
information.
12.2 Sign-in
12.12.2.1 I cannot sign-in to HP Systems Insight Manager on Windows XP using a blank password.
Solution 1: Use a non-blank password, which provides better security. Have an administrator
reconfigure the Windows User Accounts to specify a non-blank password.
Solution 2: If you must use a blank password, disable the following Security Policy on the
Windows XP machine: Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passw ords to console
login only. Disabling this policy allows remote logins over the network using accounts that
have no passwords.
On a Windows system, to limit local account use of blank passwords to console sign in only,
complete the following procedure:
