In practise IT would do these edits via a dedicated web interface that takes most of its data from the install order form. As long as they don't have to install any extra interface libraries or server components they likely don't have a problem once they know the names and layout. > At least a CLI tool to install and maintain the settings would be > needed. A GUI tool would be the hit. I'm not sure how large the user base of this might be. Around here even the AD administrators are pretty much restricted from using any edit functionality such tools might provide since all changes must have a documentation trail.
