c:\hputils\usercompanyname.cmd.
8. When prompted, enter company and user name, and click OK to complete the setup.
Reinstalling from a GUI console
HP Integrity servers that are factory-installed with Windows Server 2003 are shipped with the
HP Reinstallation media, which enables you to restore the system to its factory settings, if
necessary. Reinstalling the operating system involves loading the image from the Reinstallation
media on to the boot disk and, after Windows Server 2003 is loaded, specifying the server settings.
CAUTION: Reinstallation overwrites all files on the boot disk. The boot disk is determined by
bus search order and might not be the disk you expect it to be. HP recommends disconnecting
or unplugging all drives from the server except the boot disk. This includes all SAN storage, too.
