Question
GSS 3.x
Answer
Here's the steps to change DS\GSS Server IP address:
1) Redirect existing Dagents to new Server IP.
If the IP address of the GSS server has not yet changed you can roll out the IP address change to the clients with the console. If the IP has already changed your clients will not be able to connect and therefore you need to reinstall the client on all the machines, or change the agent settings in each client one at a time.
If the server IP has not yet changed here are the steps to prepare your clients to connect to the server once it is changed:
2) Change the default IP address for new clients.
3) Open Windows services, turn off all Altiris Services
4) Change Server IP address
5) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Altiris\Express\Deployment, edit default.cfg with notepad.
Perform a 'Find' old IP address and 'Replace' with new IP address.
6) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Altiris\Express\Deployment\PXE, edit PXE.ini, PxeManager.ini, and RPC.ini with notepad.
Perform a 'Find' old IP address and 'Replace' with new IP address.
7) Restart all Altiris Services
8) Edit PXE boot image to contain new server IP:
9) Test PXE on new Subnet\VLAN
Note:
If the IP Address has changed and access to the DAgent UI is not possible, you can change manually on each client machine the "TcpAddr" regkey under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Client Service".
