Hello guys.

There is any way to change the username I set on during installation of the agent on Windows Server without un-installing it? I made a mistake during the install and set up the username wrong.

If I try to uninstall, I am warned about a system restart, and I can't restart noway, It's a production server. :S

Thanks in advance

yes, just stop the services, they should be named "TpaMaintenance, and TpaService", after stopping does to go "C:\Program Files\TopPatch Inc\TopPatch Agent", there open with a text editor the config file "agent", and change the keys "nu" value, and "wp" value, the user name and password need to be encrypted, use this small console program to encrypt your user name and password, " https://www.dropbox.com/s/5kwobz24wi629zc/CredentialsConsole.exe
after setting the new username and password go back to the services and start then back up, the agent should connect to the server again with the new credentials, if you have any other question or issues while changing the user name and/or password feel free to ask.
