To enable the Microsoft Emergency Messaging Service (EMS) and the Special Administration
Console (SAC), use the following procedure. You must have administrator privileges to
perform these steps.
1. Start a command prompt Start  Run  cmd.
2. Enter the command bootcfg.
Example 7-7 Output of the bootcfg command
C:\>bootcfg
Boot Loader Settings
--------------------
timeout:30
default:multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
Boot Entries
------------
Boot entry ID: 1
OS Friendly Name: Windows Server 2003, Enterprise
Path: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
OS Load Options: /noexecute=optout /fastdetect
C:\>
3. Examine the output. If more than one boot entry exist, determine the default entry.
4. Enable EMS with the bootcfg /ems on /port com2 /baud 115200 /id 1 command. In our
example, the default boot entry has the ID 1 (Example 7-8).
Example 7-8 Output of the bootcfg /ems on /port com2 /baud 115200 /id 1 command
C:\>bootcfg /ems on /port com2 /baud 115200 /id 1
SUCCESS: Changed the redirection port in boot loader section.
SUCCESS: Changed the redirection baudrate in boot loader section.
SUCCESS: Changed the OS entry switches for line "1" in the BOOT.INI file.
5. Enter bootcfg again to verify that the EMS is activated. See Example 7-9.
Example 7-9 Output of the bootcfg command
C:\>bootcfg
