Winternals Software LP Page 12
5 Logon
When ERD Commander 2002 boots it executes the Winternals Logon
application. If the ERD Commander 2002 CD-ROM was generated by the
Boot CD-ROM Wizard, the Logon application displays the licensing
information entered during execution of the wizard. Otherwise it will prompt
you to enter ERD Commander 2002 license text or specify a file containing
an ERD Commander 2002 license.
If you boot an ERD Commander 2002 CD-ROM generated by the Boot CD-
ROM Wizard and you have password protected the installation you are
prompted to enter the password before being allowed to proceed.
After licensing information has been validated and, if applicable, a correct
password entered, the Logon application starts networking services. The
services assume that a DHCP server is present on your network and attempt
to obtain an IP address. If your network uses static IP addresses rather than
DHCP you can use the TCP/IP Configuration utility (see Chapter 20) after
logging in to specify a static IP address.
Once networking service initialization is complete the Logon application
scans the system’s hard-disk volumes looking for Windows XP, 2000, and NT
installations. It displays the system root directory of located installations, the
type of operating system installed, and service pack information (see Figure
5-1).
