About System Configuration Editor
You can create or update system configuration settings with the configuration editor. These settings are applied to computers after you deploy a disk image or apply a system configuration using a task server. The credentials are either a local administrator account or a domain account if you join the computer to a domain.
You create the system configuration settings through the System Configuration Editor dialog box. The Create System Configuration dialog box of the editor lets you create or update system configuration settings.
