Server Move

I have 50+ clients installed that were managed from a server that crashed. I have installed the management server on a different machine but it appears that the clients are all looking for the old server netbios name. Is there a way I can get the new server to seen all the previous installs (discovery didn’t find them). Is it possible to push out a new install from th new server that will update the client installs so they see the new server? Any help is appreciated…

It is a long time I migrated from one server to another.
Try to look on item ServerAddress in avast4.ini on Netclient computer. I suppose there must be old server’s IP address. But you cannot simply copy changed avast4.ini to all netclients because of unique InstallGUID some rows bellow. And editing 50+ times avast4.ini also is not a way for lazy admins… :slight_smile:

Maybe there should be way via temporally IP address change…? It depends on your infrastructure, which you did not describe :frowning:

Or install temporally AMS server with the same name and IP address as crashed AMS (clean crashed server from ADU&C before it), install ADNM and when all clients will connect temporally AMS, you can change configuration - item AMS address in communication section at your computer catalog in ADNM console.

Other option is use the aswChAms command from the avast! directory in every netclient.

aswChAms

I think from now on when I have a question, Ill hit the preview button and wait another 30 minutes. It seems like every time after I post, I find exactly what I need.

The ftp_rename function doesnt just rename files, it can rename directories, which in turn can move them on the remote server.
