Directing Clients to New Administration Console

Hello,

To date, I have been running the latest avast! management console on my laptop. I have now installed the console onto a production server.

The managed client machines are still connecting to the server on my laptop.

How do I get the clients to use the console on the new server? I would like to avoid making manual changes on the clients if possible.

Regards,
Stephen

Hi,
hope this can help you…

I think you must do it from your laptop

Hello,

Thank you for the information. Changing that setting doesn’t seem to work. I think that is just for the updates, not the actual management console. I waited for about one hour.

I have also tried editing the advanced setting within the “Server Messaging Configuration: Primary Server Address” on the laptop console. That didn’t work either.

The clients are still listing the old server within the troubleshooting settings (see attached image).

I have re-deployed the client software on two workstations and these do connect to the production server. These connect without any obvious issues.

Regards,
Stephen

I think you must restart the clients and log on again to permit to take the new server (and also new GPO).
Have you did it?

If it still not working, try to program a re-deploy to all your clients from new server console

No, it didn’t work. I tried to re-boot.

However, manually editing the console setting on the client machines does seem to work.

Thanks,
Stephen

since in my quote the MIRROR is used, i assume you are correct about the updates

where in the client did you edit the location?
this should be available in the console too
