Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 - Manual (Page 58)

To place a script or program in this directory, complete the following steps:
1. Get the RRUTIL from the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery Administration Tools site at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN#rnr
2. Create a Temp directory.
3. In the \Temp directory, create the following directory tree:
\preboot\startup
4. Put the script or program into the \Temp\preboot\startup path.
5. From a command line, type in RRUTIL –p \Temp.
6. To verify that the script or program was copied successfully, type in RRUTIL –g from a command
line. This will generate a file named getlist.txt.
7. Examine the contents of getlist.txt for the \preboot\startup directory. The script or program should be
listed under this tree.
Passwords
The following are four password options available in the Predesktop Area:
• Predesktop Area or Master password
• User ID and password or passphrase
• Backup password
• No password
Predesktop Area or master password
The Predesktop Area password or master password is a single password that allows you access to the
Predesktop Area and backups. This is set by using the command line interface, and is the only password
option if only the Rescue and Recovery 4.23 program is installed on the system.
You can create the Predesktop Area password or master password by using the following command:
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\pe_masterpw_app.exe. The following table provides
available parameters for this command:
Table 22.
Parameter Description
pe_masterpw_app.exe -create Creates the actual password.
pe_masterpw_app.exe -verify Verifies that the password is valid and that it can be used.
pe_masterpw_app.exe -remove Removes the password.
pe_masterpw_app.exe -exists Checks to see if the password exists.
pe_masterpw_app.exe -silent Hides all the messages.
User ID and password or passphrase
This option uses the Client Security Solution code for password or passphrase management. The Client
Security Solution GINA will prompt the user for this password or passphrase on startup of the Predesktop
Area. This provides better security for a multi-user environment. If a user logs on using the GINA, that user is
allowed access to that user's files only, and no one else’s.
This option can be set through the command line interface or the GUI.
