In tip 2615 I described the SET command in the Windows Recovery Console.

If the GPO is Not Configured, you can enable the SET command using:

1. Copy / Paste the following to a RCSet.reg file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSetupRecoveryConsole]
"SetCommand"=dword:00000001

2. Merge the RCSet.reg file with your registry, or run regedit /s RCSet.reg

3. Shutdown and restart your computer.

NOTE: If you wish to also enable Automatic Administrative Logon to the Recovery Console, add the following line after the "SetCommand"=dword:00000001 line:

"SecurityLevel"=dword:00000001
