Hi Folks
In continuation to our scriptomaniac series, here is a script which is used for making the agent to report to the new DC server. Again, widely used by evaluator/customers.
The user would be testing Desktop Central with minimum number of computers. When he decides to roll out to the entire production network after evaluation, the usual practice is to install the server in a better hardware configuration for scalability purpose. We have Migration Process for Desktop Central documented for this purpose.
However, in most of the cases, administrators will completely miss the Migration process and change the DC server to the new hardware.
So, this script provides a solution for that. The script given here will do a part of migration meaning, make the agents to report to the new/correct DC server in production. Please note that this script will not help you to maintain any server data. It will change the server name and IP address at the agent registry so that it starts reporting to your new DC server.
Download the Desktop Central Agent reporting script.
You can use this with PSEXEC tool which we discussed earlier can be used to along with this script to do a bulk agent migration to the new DC server installation.
Note : You need to download and rename the extension as .VBS
