You all probably know that the AeXConfig.exe utility is used to run the database installation and removal side of our [Altiris] product installs, but did you also know that it can be used to install licenses, change the AppId, etc?

Here's the tool's full syntax. Knowing this is the first step to AeXConfig nirvana:

[/svcid user:<user name> password:<password>]  Sets the Application Identity
[/db dbserver:<server name> dbname:<database name> dbusername:<db user name> dbpassword:<db user password> dbtimeout:<db timeout>]  Database credentials
[/configure <Path to product installation xml file>]  Configure the database side of a product install
[/unconfigure <Product installation GUID> [/deleteitems] ]  Remove products database objects
[/installlicense <Path to license file>]  Installs licenses
[/validate <ProductInstallationConfigFile>]  Validate a product install
[/launchinstallwizard]  Opens http://localhost/Altiris/NS/Install/NSSetup.aspx
[/aup product:<product guid> date:<yyyy-MM-dd (UTC)>]  Update AUP
