DASHConfigRT (v1.
0)
DASHConfigRT is a command line application to configure DASH Systems for the
windows. This utility can be used with management console such as Microsoft SCCM
to provision all the DASH Systems in a set of collection.
In order to support the Active directory for the DASH target. OEM needs to update
the following DASH software.
Prerequisites:
1. The DASH firmware which supports the Active Directory.
2. Windows DASH client software which supports the in-band provision for the
windows.
3. Renew the latest DASH console tool for the windows.
Usage:
There is the command line parameter:
-xf:xmlfile
For example:
“DASHConfigRT -xf: config.xml” ---> no default password
“DASHConfigRT -u:old_username -p:old_password -xf:config.xml”
The -xf:<xmlfile> parameter informs DASHConfigRT of the file system location
for the XML file which will be used to provision the management target.
DASHConfigRT utility will delete the provision XML file after processing the
provisioning file has been completed. This is important due to the inclusion of
password values in the XML file.
The -v parameter will print the version information to the utility.

the HTTP or HTTPS protocol depending on which protocol parent node in which it is
included.
USER List:
<USERS> - Optional. Necessary if any user accounts are to be provisioned on the

account. Up to 3 roles can be defined for a particular user account.
<ROLE> - Required. Currently there are only 3 acceptable values ,namely,

ACTIVEDIRECTORY List:
<ACTIVEDIRECTORY> - Optional, necessary if any Active Directory support is to be

<ENABLESUPPORT> - Optional. If defined, the Active Directory support enablement
state will be modified, false = disabled, true = enabled.
<ACTIVEDIRECTORY_SPNACCOUNT> - Optional, necessary if any Active Directory

<SPNACCOUNT_PASSWORD> - Optional, necessary if any Active Directory group(s)

for the user account defined by the <ACTIVEDIRECTORY_SPNACCOUNT> node.
<ACTIVEDIRECTORY_GROUPS> - Optional, necessary if any Active Directory group(s)
are to be provisioned on the management target. Currently there is a limit of 3
provisioned groups on any single management target because a DASH Role can only
be associated to a single Active Directory group and are only 3 defined roles.
<ACTIVEDIRECTORY_GROUP> - Required, if the <ACTIVEDIRECTORY_GROUPS> node
is included in the XML provisioning file.
<GROUPNAME> - Optional, necessary if any Active Directory group(s) are to be

<GROUPNAME> node.
<ROLES> - Required, defines the role(s) (privileges) given to the associated Active
