Instead you can use wsman to set the ‘ListenerEnabled’ flag of the AMT_RedirectionService to true, and SOL will be available.

As an alternative one can also use the amtc tool [1]. It supports the
modification of a very limited number of settings of which SOL is one:

$ amtc -M sol=on -d <target machine>
