2. Specify the user account on the target system by selecting one of the following options:
• Logged-in user
The tool uses the user account that is logged in.

run on targets with an unknown operating system.
• Specific user
The tool uses the specified user account.
3. In the Command with parameters field, enter parameters.
The interface supports nine parameters. If you enter more than nine, the last parameter appears
as Zero(0) on the Task Results page.
4. Optional: Enter the Environment variables for the tool and add or delete variables as needed.
For a list of variables available from HP SIM, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Command

• Optional: To delete a specified variable, click Delete.
• Optional: To add additional variables, click Add.
DOS environment variables are supported in custom tool parameters and work as parameters
on the New Custom Tool page or the Manage Custom Tools page. Unless you use DOS
environment variables in a batch or script file, you must surround them with double percent
(%) signs. For example, to pass in the NOTICELABEL environment variable as a parameter on
the parameter line, enter %%NOTICELABEL%%. If you use DOS environment variables in a
batch file or script file, use only a single percent (%) sign before and after the environment
variable name. For a list of other substitutable environment variables, see the HP Systems
Insight Manager User Guide, at http://www.hp.com/go/insightmanagement/sim/docs.
5. If you can schedule the tool, select Tool can be scheduled.

NOTE: New custom tool tools are located under Tools→Custom Tools.
Configuring managed systems from a Windows CMS
Managed systems must be able to communicate status to the HP SIM CMS in order to launch
commands to the managed systems. To configure the managed systems to communicate with the
CMS, you must configure common configurations and trust relationships. The Configure or Repair
Agents feature enables you to configure or repair agents in Windows, Linux, and HP-UX.
The Configure or Repair Agents tool enables you to repair Simple Network Management Protocol
settings and trust relationships that exist between HP Systems Insight Manager and target systems
if you have HP Insight Management Agents 7.2 or later installed. If you have HP Insight Management
Agents 7.1 or earlier installed, you can update Web Agent passwords on target systems.
This tool adds the security and trap community strings and trust settings to the target systems, but
it does not replace existing settings. To replace existing settings on target systems, use the Replicate
Agent Settings feature in HP SIM.
You can use Configure or Repair Agents tool to send test SNMP traps from Windows systems with
Insight Management Advisors and send test Web-Based Enterprise Management indications from
Windows and HP-UX systems with HP WBEM provider installed.
