Configuration Tool Command Line Arguments
It is possible to pass configuration commands into the Configuration Tool by using command line arguments.

Substitution Variables
Some parameters allow certain variable names to be passed in to set settings to machine specific values, such as hostname and IP address.
The substitution variables below only apply to /KioskName, /UnitName and /xml.
| $$HOSTNAME$$ | Replaced with the computer hostname. Only works when run with /silent. |
| $$DOMAINNAME$$ | Replaced with the computer domain name. Only works when run with /silent. |
| $$IPV4ADDRESS$$ | Replaced with the computer IP address. |
Example:
KioWare_Config /KioskName="$$HOSTNAME$$" /UnitName="$$DOMAINNAME$$" /silent
You may also use any of the Windows Environment variables in the command line as substitutions.
It is very important that the Kioskname/Unitname pair be unique. |
Example:
KioWare_Config /KioskName="$$HOSTNAME$$" /UnitName="%OS%" /silent
