New Ent Console,change clients update location

bickyz

Hi my old Server where Enterprise Console installed is crashed permantely. I have installed Enteprise console on new server, But all the clients are still pointing to old server for updates. This new server has different name, different IP. Is there anything I can do beside going thoroug each PCs and uninstalling the Sophos Endpoint then pushing new installation from New Enterprise Console.

Help will be much appreciated.

    Hello bickyz,

    a simple way to rope in the clients is a DNS alias so they update from the new server. If you configure the CID accordingly you can instruct them to reinit RMS and talk to the new server. The Migration Guide has some details.

    Hi QC,

    The problem is my old server is not available, its crashed permanently. The migration guide says: To redirect endpoints to new enterprise console I have to create a batch file reinit.bat and in the old server.

    HI,

    Maybe you could try this HTA to get the management of the machines in the new console so you can send them new policies.

    /search?q= 8939

    Essentially, copy the code, into a text file and save as reinit.hta on the new SEC server.

    Browse to the new cac.pem and mrinit.conf files (enterprise console directory or in the udpating shares wil do)

    Generate a VBS file.
    You then need to run the VBS file on the clients as an administrative user.

    I would suggest trying it on a couple of clients just to check it works.

    Then consider how you can deploy it on mass, maybe AD startup script for example?

    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    Jak
