Common Emergency User
Name and Password

Defines the emergency account user name
and password for all systems. Although
the user name will always be common, the
password can be common or unique for each
system (generated automatically). Making the
password common makes it easier for the
administrator to enter the BIOS setup or login
in to the system without manually entering
hardware passwords or requiring an intranet
login (which requires a network connection).

Enable one-touch
registration

Determines whether the Administrator wants
to pre-register systems in a staging area
without enrolling any end users. This operation
will set hardware passwords and create the
Emergency Account. After these systems
are delivered to users, they can perform an
intranet login to start the system and enroll to
create a Hardware Account.

Enable first user enrolled
on a machine as
Administrator

Determines whether the first user to enroll on
a system is automatically given administrator
privileges with their Hardware Account. This
will allow the SVP to be released when logging
in to the system, which will allow the user to
enter the BIOS setup and change settings if
desired. This does not give the user Windows
Administrator privileges.
