  1. In the Windows command line, go to the Deep Security Manager's working folder, for example,
    cd "\Program Files\Trend Micro\Deep Security Manager"
  2. Use the dsm_c command with parameters to change to the new settings: 
dsm_c.exe -action changesetting -name settings.configuration.enableDenormalizedIM -value true

           dsm_c command returns 0 value indicating successful execution
