With the EMS service enabled in Windows, configure the console server as console profile to
manage the Windows 2003 server. Windows sends xml tags in the following situations.
• During Windows installation, it sends <channel-switch> with the setup logs.
• During boot, it sends the <machine-info> information.
• When switching channels, it sends the <channel-switch> information.
• During system crash, it sends the <BP> to indicate BreakPoint.
The <machine-info> tag is emitted once by Windows Server during its system boot sequence. This
