I'm using Symantec Ghost to deploy different operating systems to test rigs. But the OS now needs to have Reporting Services installed for a product we will be testing.
Although I can deploy the image to another machine and get RS working there is one stage in the post deployment configuration that is stopping me automating the process.
Essentially I only need to change the RS and RM config files to reflect the new server/host name. But I then get the issue with the encryption issue. I got around this by deleting the encryption keys and content using rskeymgmt (there is no actual content in report manager so this isn't a problem).
However, when I run rskeymgmt -d it requires a manual input to confirm the deletion. I've check the listed switch and search the net but can't find a way to force the deletion.
Does anyone have any ideas to force the deletion or any suggestions for a different way around the problem with the keys (would backing them up and reapplying them work from one machien to another?)
thanks in advance

Hi there,
I have the same issue... Only I'm trying to automate the backup of the encryption key, but how to force the backup without having to type in the confirmation??
Can't find anything that will help me in any forum or help file...
If anyone has any ideas, please...
Thanks in advance!!

Use an old fashoned DOS command line trick:
echo y | rskeymgmt -e -f SRSKey -p password > extract.log 2>&1
The echo sends a Y character into the standard input and answers the "are you sure" prompt. The output is written to a file called extract.log and, my favorite, 2>&1 writes error messages to the same file.
