Administration Utilities in 11gR1 UCM

Question

I would like to run Administration Utilities as standalone applications instead of running them as applets from within Content Server.
I am running UCM/WebLogic 11gR1 on Windows 7. I do not have any Administration Utilities in my Start Menu.
I found a few spots that talked about changing some stuff in System Properties to set it up, however I cannot even find that in my Start Menu.
Any help in how to run the Admin Applets as standalone applications would be great.
Thanks,
Jonathan

You get access to the admin utilities easily enough. I am sure it is documented somewhere but I do not know where...
Steps I have found to work
1)Login to UCM as weblogic
2)Go to UserAdmin applet and restore the sysadmin password to idc (it is a crime for it to be anything else on a dev system) you need to do this
3)You can run SystemProperties from <middleware_home>/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/ucm/cs/bin/SystemProperties (you will find all your old friends in here!
4)Add the JDBC details so you can connect to the Java apps that need DB access (like archiver etc.) on the Database tab. I will guess that youl need to use the Oracle JDBC thin driver so select this and then fill in the details for JDBC user/passwd and connection string.
5)Start Batchloader/Archiver etc. from <middleware_home>/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/ucm/cs/bin/ and login with the sysadmin credentials
If this works for you please mark the thread as answered as I expect others may benefit from this too.
