Question:
How do you re-create the system user in DocuWare 7 or higher?
Solution:
Please complete the following to recreate a system user;
1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\DocuWare\ServerConfig and locate the dwmachine.config file.
2. Make a copy of this file and save it to the same location for backup purposes.
3. Open the original dwmachine file and look for the lines “<Setting Key="SystemUser" and “<Setting Key="SystemUserPwd" Delete these two lines, then save the file.
4. Open the following location C:\Program Files (x86)\DocuWare\Setup Components, then look for the application named “Docuware.Setup.Server.Cmd.exe" for versions 7.2 - 7.11, or "DocuWare.ServersetupCmd.exe“ for versions 7 and 7.1.
Hold shift + Right-click the application and select the option Copy as path.
5. Open an administrative CMD prompt and paste the application path. Then, add “configureSystemUser” (cap-sensitive) to the end of the path with a space in between.
6. After you run the command, it should return an Error Code as 0.
7. Your dwmachine.config file will now contain the recreated system user and password.
