EP Server totally failed. Need to reinstall. Old clients reconnecting?

Aminocom

Hi,

The server running our Sophos EP failed last week. We've now rebuilt the server and everything is running once more....except the EP services.

I've got no problem installing and reconfiguring everything, however I've got 100 or so orphaned clients around the company that somehow need to be reconnected to the server without the need to push out the software again.

Is there an easy way to do this?

We do have tape backup's from this particular server, so would it be easier if we could retrieve something from the tapes. A database maybe?

Thanks for any pointers.

    As of right now I've done nothing to reinstall SEC.

    The server has the same identity as the old one (Host Name and IP) of course it will have a different UID, but that shouldn't matter.

    I didn't want to reinstall anything only to find that first I should have retrieved something from our backup's.

    If I just reinstall SEC, as long as the server host name is the same, as clients attempt to "call home" they will automatically start populating the SEC database?
