151Updating Security Identifiers (SIDs) and computer names
Using Ghost Walker
Following is an example of command line use:
GHSTWALK /BV=1:2 /AV=1:1 /AV=2:1 /CN=”WS4-<RANDOM_HEX>-443”/SURE
The above command line does the following:
■ Updates the Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, XP, or 2000 installation located on the
second partition of the first disk.
■ Updates file systems on additional volumes on the first partition of the first
and second disks.
■ Changes the computer name to one starting with WS4- and ending with -
443, placing random hexadecimal values in the remaining spaces until the
new name is the same length as the old one. For example, WS4-53ADF76-
443.
■ Does not prompt the user for final confirmation.
/MNUPD=

Multiple registry locations may be specified with multiple
instances of this switch.

Walker should open and read in addition to those specified in the
command line.
