Enabling Emergency Management Services after setup (Itanium-based systems)

To enable Emergency Management Services on Itanium-based installations of a Windows Server 2003 operating system, you must first enable firmware console redirection.

To do so, follow the instructions in your hardware manufacturer's documentation. Then, edit the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) boot manager settings using Bootcfg. The Bootcfg command enables Emergency Management Services console redirection and Special Administration Console (SAC).

For more information about using Bootcfg to enable Emergency Management Services, see "Emergency Management Services" at the Microsoft Windows Resource Kits Web site.
