Configure the initial network settings

Configure the initial network settings

You can configure the network settings for the appliance from the appliance Network Setup Console after you connect a monitor and keyboard directly to the appliance and after the appliance's first boot.

Configure the network settings for the Virtual appliance from the Virtual KACE Systems Deployment Appliance Administrator Console, and configure the RSA from the virtual RSA Administrator Console.

1.
Connect a monitor and keyboard directly to the appliance.
2.
Power on the appliance. The first-time startup takes 5 to 10 minutes.
The login screen appears.
3.
At the login prompt, enter konfig for both Login and Password.
4.
Choose the language to use for the console. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to move between fields.

Save appliance data

The Save appliance data setting enables you to save the appliance data to an offboard virtual disk during the initial configuration for a new Virtual appliance and a new Remote Site Appliance. You can also configure offboard storage later for the virtual KACE Systems Deployment Appliance and RSA using the Administrator Console.

The Save appliance data setting is not available for the physical KACE Systems Deployment Appliance during the initial configuration. Configure the physical appliance to save the appliance data to an offboard-storage device from the Administrator Console.

Select one of the following check boxes:

•
On the virtual appliance (onboard storage)
•
To this offboard-storage device (Virtual disk)

Changing the default passwords

Changing the default passwords

Use the Command Line Console to reset the Administrator's password
Change the Samba share password
Set the VNC® password
Enable Boot Manager authentication

Quest KACE recommends changing the default passwords during the initial setup of the appliance for the administrator, the appliance Samba share directory, and the Boot Manager.

The following passwords are associated with the appliance.

Password

Description

Administrator

The default password is admin. The new password must be six characters or more in length.

Samba Share Password, KACE Media Manager, and KACE Boot Environment (KBE)

* 
NOTE: All use the same password.

The default password is admin and is used for uploading drivers and backing up and restoring library components, scripted installations, system images, boot environments, network inventory, and network scans.

* 
NOTE: The KACE SDA Hostname field on the KACE Media Manager requires this password.

Boot Manager

By default, Boot Manager authentication is disabled.

The Boot Manager contains a bootstrap file that the Windows client Boot Manager downloads during the initial device PXE boot in to the KACE Boot Environment. The Boot Manager interface displays on the target device.

VNC

Enables a connection to a target device that has networked booted.

NetBoot

Used only for Mac devices.

* 
NOTE: Only 7-bit ASCII characters are accepted for KBE remote VNC passwords.

Use the Command Line Console to reset the Administrator's password

Use the Command Line Console to reset the Administrator's password

If you change the Administrator's password, and become locked out of the appliance Administrator Console for some reason, you can re-set the password using the Command Line Console.

To change the Administrator's password, you must obtain last 16 characters of your appliance license key, including dashes, using the correct case, as specified. You can use the legacy KACE license key or the Quest license key. The Command Line Console is a terminal window to the appliance. Logging in to the Command Line Console as the netdiag user provides access to some basic network diagnostic commands, including reset_admin_password, that allows you to change the Administrator's password.

Your full license key is listed in the Welcome email from Quest KACE. It is also available on the Registration and Licensing page in the Administrator Console (when you have access to it). If you do not have a license key, contact Quest KACE Technical Support at https://support.quest.com/contact-support, or the licensing team to obtain a new key at https://support.quest.com/licensing-assistance. For more information about the Registration and Licensing page, see the help topic associated with this page.
