When you are using RES Wisdom as a management and deployment tool, you know that it is set up to use Agents on the Servers/Workstations/Thin Clients you want to manage. You can use the RES Wisdom Management Console to remotely install the Agent on the target device. A methode that still requires manual actions
Even when you use the built in Prepare Agent for Image option in the RES Wisdom Console, the Agent will be linked to the unique GUID of the Dispatcher (or Management Console) that initiated the task.
Luckily I found a new option to be more flexible for the preparation of the RES Wisdom Agent to be used with VM Templates or other Imaged OS solutions.

It sometimes happens that after you’ve changed your Windows logon credentials, you get an error trying to connect to a network share. This error could be about you’re cached credentials not being correct and prevent you from getting access to the network share.
In order to delete the cached credentials for that particulair share, you could use the following commandline:
net use \\<servername>\<share> /delete
This will delete you cached credentials and allows you to create a new connection to the network share and be asked for your (new) credentials.
