How Do You Launch Server Configuration
Utilities from the Tag Configuration Editor?

the server configuration utilities from the Servers menu of the Tag
Configuration Editor.
Note
When you update the server registry while the Tag Configuration Editor is
running, select Servers»Refresh to prompt the Tag Configuration Editor to
read the updated information.
