SBS 2008 Company Name in RWW

So I recently set up a Small Business Server 2008 for a customer. In getting it prepped prior to installing the machine onsite, I set up some of the basic functions (as much as I could without it actually being there). One of the things I screwed up on was the company name that shows up when you hit the base Remote Web Workplace page:
Luckily, there is a very simple way to correct this. I wasn’t able to find any answers online, so maybe this is common knowledge for SBS admins. First, locate the following file:
C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Data\RWWConfig.xml
Give your domain admin user full rights to this file, accepting any UAC prompts along the way. Next, open the file in notepad, and you’ll have a file that looks similar to the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RWWConfig> <fileName>RWWPluginSBS, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35</fileName> <className>Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.IWorker.RWW.RWWPluginSBS</className> <signinOrgName>WrongName, Inc.</signinOrgName> <signinBackgroundImage>images/background.jpg</signinBackgroundImage> <signinUserBackgroundImage></signinUserBackgroundImage> <orgLogo></orgLogo> <wssgLogo>images/RwwOemLogo.png</wssgLogo> <readEmailIcon>images/E-mail.png</readEmailIcon> <connectToComputerIcon>images/RemoteDesktop.png</connectToComputerIcon> <internalWebSiteIcon>images/CompanyWeb.png</internalWebSiteIcon> <changePasswordIcon>images/changepassword.png</changePasswordIcon> <helpDocumentationIcon>images/Help32.png</helpDocumentationIcon> <adminConsoleIcon>images/AdminConsole.png</adminConsoleIcon> <helpDeskIcon>images/helpdesk.png</helpDeskIcon> <techNetIcon>images/technet.png</techNetIcon> <showOWALink>true</showOWALink> <showTSLink>true</showTSLink> <showSharepointLink>true</showSharepointLink> <showChangePasswordLink>true</showChangePasswordLink> <showHelpDocumentationLink>true</showHelpDocumentationLink> <showAdminConsoleLink>true</showAdminConsoleLink> <showHelpDeskLink>true</showHelpDeskLink> <showWebGadget>true</showWebGadget> <showCustomOrgLinks>true</showCustomOrgLinks> <showCustomAdminLinks>true</showCustomAdminLinks> </RWWConfig>
If you don’t already see it, find the following line to edit the organization name:
<signinOrgName>WrongName, Inc.</signinOrgName>
Simply change this name to whatever the correct name is, or anything you want to be displayed there:
<signinOrgName>RightName, Inc.</signinOrgName>
Refresh your RWW page, and there you have it:
There are a ton of other options in that particular XML file, so poke around.
