Additional Information

Register a Trusted Host on Windows

To register or reregister a trusted host on Windows, use the Registration Tool, smreghost. This tool is installed when you install an Agent on a trusted host, and is located in the directory ASA_HOME\bin.

Note: When reregistering a host with the same name using smreghost, first remove the host from the Administrative UI unless you use the smreghost command argument, -o, which lets you overwrite an existing trusted host without having to delete it from the Policy Server.

To run smreghost to register or reregister a trusted host on Windows

1. Open a Command Prompt window.
2. Navigate to ASA_HOME\bin
3. Enter the smreghost command using at least the following required arguments:

   smreghost -i policy_server_IP_address:port  
             -u administrator_username -p Administrator_password
             -hn hostname_for_registration
             -hc host_configuration_object
