		<description>That is odd... I copied those cmd lines from the documentation for convenience - I&#039;m guessing there is a character conversion issue with the html.
Here is the link to the source for those lines:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh751270.aspx&quot; title=&quot;How to Run WinRM Commands on the Target Computer&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;How to Run WinRM Commands on the Target Computer&lt;/a&gt;

I will update the guide as such</description>

		<description>Hello Jason,

Well that worked and it looks like your CMD line fails. 
winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{CredSSP=”True”}
winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{AllowRemoteShellAccess=”True”}
winrm set winrm/config/winrs @{MaxMemoryPerShellMB=”2048″}

Here is error--&gt; C:\&gt;winrm set winrm/config/client/auth @{CredSSP=&quot;True&quot;
Syntax Error: input must be of the form {KEY=&quot;VALUE&quot;[;KEY=&quot;VALUE&quot;]}</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s Dell&#039;s description of what to do:

In order to install the Dell Data Protection &#124; Access solution, you must install the Dell Data Protection &#124; Access Pre-Requisite package, the Dell Data Protection &#124; Access driver package and the Dell Data Protection &#124; Access Middleware package before installing the Dell Data Protection &#124; Application package. For Systems configured with Dell ControlPoint Security Manager, please follow the instructions below to ensure proper and complete upgrade to Dell Data Protection &#124; Access. NOTE: Installation order is very important – use the following procedure, including reboots, or the software will not function properly: 1. Backup any previously implemented security settings (if applicable) a. Backup TPM keys and credentials (on Dell ControlVault enabled systems). b. If you have any documents included in the Document Vault or Document Manager, remove these files. Dell Data Protection &#124; Access does not contain this function and any data not removed from this feature will be lost. c. Backup any user Private Information Manager account data. 2. Dell ControlPoint Security Manager must be uninstalled (if applicable) a) Uninstall “Dell ControlPoint Security Manager” from Add/Remove Programs. b) Reboot. 3. Dell Security Device Driver Pack must be uninstalled (if applicable) a) Uninstall “Dell Security Device Driver Pack” from Add/remove programs. b) Reboot. 4. Download the Dell Data Protection &#124;Access software packages (Pre-Requisite(XP and Vista OS only), Driver, Middleware, and Application) 5. Install downloaded software in the order listed below a) Install Dell Data Protection &#124; Access – Pre-Requisite package (XP and Vista OS only) b) Reboot if requested. c) Install Dell Data Protection &#124; Access – Driver package. d) Install Dell Data Protection &#124; Access – Middleware package. e) Reboot. f) Install Dell Data Protection &#124; Access – Application package. g) Reboot. 6. Clear any previously stored security settings implemented such as TPM enablement, fingerprints enrolled, BIOS passwords, preboot credentials, etc. (if applicable) a) Launch Dell Data Protection &#124;Access application. b) Navigate to the advanced screen. c) Click on “Reset System” and provide all implemented passwords and follow instructions appropriately. 7. Clear any previous non-ControlVault fingerprint enrollments (for Latitude E54x0 and E55x0 only systems) a) Navigate to \Program Files\Dell\Dell Data Protection\Access\Drivers\Authentec AES2810 Fingerprint Reader\Tools folder and run AESReset.exe and follow instructions. 8. Clear any previous external fingerprint enrollments (if applicable) a) For external fingerprint readers (Dell branded Fingerprint reader, Eikon 2 and Eikon to go readers), navigate to \Program Files\Dell\Dell Data Protection\Access\Advanced\Wave\Preboot Manager and execute the deleteusers.exe utility. 9. Restore your archived security settings backed up in Step 1 (if applicable) Note: this will only restore archived TPM keys from USC 1.4 or DDPA 2.0 usage or preboot data which is enrolled within the Dell ControlVault. a) Open Dell Access, navigate to the advanced screen, click on Credential Archive and Restore. b) Click on Restore your security credentials. c) Follow the wizard until completion. 10. Launch Dell Data Protection &#124;Access application a) Application will install into the Start Menu under Programs\Dell\Dell Data Protection\AccessNote: No desktop or task tray icons will be placed onto the system by default. b) Upon first launch of Dell Data Protection &#124; Access, the System Access Wizard will prompt you. This wizard will guide you through the system setup process. If the System Access Wizard does not automatically launch, you can start the wizard by selecting the Access tab a</description>

		<description>Hey Tony,

I&#039;m guessing you are at the screen where you supply all the server names. Here a couple thought on what could cause it:
1. I&#039;m pretty sure you must be using a domain, and all the machines must be member servers. I could see this happening in a workgroup.
2. The user account you are using to run the Universal Installer must be a local admin on all the machines (I used a domain admin account for simplicity).
3. I&#039;m pretty sure the target servers need to be either Windows 7 or Server 2008 R2.
4. If you have multiple target servers, try specifying them one at a time to see if all the servers are affected, or just one (you may have to go back and remove some components)

I suppose it wouldn&#039;t hurt to check the installer log, and event logs on the installation machine as well as the target machine(s) for more clues...

Good luck!</description>

		<description>Hello Jason,

I am asking about SC2012 and during the unified installer process. I am experiencing an error--&gt; &quot; Server Validation Failure... Could not determine Operating System on &quot;server name&quot; Attempted to perform an Unauthorized operation. I am on the step before you enter the user name and pass. I already added the WinRM steps and MMC GPEDIT steps as well firewall is disabled.</description>

		<description>Thanks Jason. Your program also works  for the gateway_settings.gws from D-Link Systems DIR-655.  I Appreciate your work. While searching for the definition of a *.gws file, I came upon your blog. I found the answer and your great little utility. Thanks again.</description>
