That would not work as I don't know the old password. Passwords get automatically forced to update from the storage server end periodically and the only place they are "known" is in the encrypted registry entry. The only way I can "know" as password is to ask our storage team to reset it on the TSM storage server and then apply that to the client. Somehow the installer takes the encrypted registry password and converts it to the new method.
Maybe that command does not need all those options?
