osql -E

sp_password NULL,”<new-password>”,sa

For those savvy in the ways of Unix and maybe even VMware, here is what you need to do…

cp /<source directory>/<VM name>.vmx /<destination directory>/<VM name>.vmx

Register – vmware-cmd register -s /vmfs/volumes/OS_Store/beyond01/beyond01.vmx

Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced Options -> remove the check box for “Show prompts to enable Instant Search”.

An option to either install or remove would have been a lot easier.
