Change Name/IP/Port Number of Central Server

Problem

You want to update a new DNS name/ip and port number of the Central Server in the agents (Client Computers) that are already installed

Cause

You have moved your Central Server to another machine which has a different name/ip and port number.

Resolution

You can change the following in the Agents that have been already installed:

• The Name or the IP Address of the Central Server
• The HTTP and HTTPS ports that are used by the Agents to communicate with the Server
• The mode of the communication as HTTP or HTTPS

To change the values,

1. For Windows - Download the configureUEMSServerCommunication.txt and rename it to configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication.vbs.
   For Mac - Download the configureUEMSServerCommunication_mac.txt and rename it to configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication_mac.sh.
   For Linux - Download the configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication_linux.txt and rename it to configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication_linux.sh.
2. Copy the script to the client computers where the agent is installed.
3. Open a command prompt/terminal.
4. Execute the command given below:
   
   For Windows - cscript configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication.vbs <UEMSServerName> <UEMSServer IP Address> <UEMSServer HTTP Port> <UEMSServer HTTPS Port> <UEMSServerAgent Comm Protocol>
   
   Example: cscript configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication.vbs joe.manageengine.com 192.168.112.146 8020 8383 http
   
   For Mac - sudo ./configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication_mac.sh <UEMSServerName> <UEMSServer IP Address> <UEMSServer HTTP Port> <UEMSServer HTTPS Port> <UEMSServerAgent Comm Protocol>
   
   Example: sudo ./configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication_mac.sh joe.manageengine.com 192.168.112.146 8020 8383 http 
   
   For Linux - sudo ./configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication_linux.sh <server_name> <server_ip> <http_port> <'http'/'https'> 
   
   Example - sudo ./configureUEMSAgentServerCommunication_linux.sh joe.manageengine.com 192.168.112.146 8020 http
