Both the Management Service and the Security Clients must know the URL of the Policy Distribution Service. If you move the Policy Distribution Service to a new server or change the address of the current server, you need to change the URL in the Management Console.
In the Management Console, click the
menu, then click to display the Configuration dialog box.Click
.In the
field, change the server name.Change only the server name. Do not change any information after the server name. For example, if the current URL is listed as
http:\\ACME\PolicyServer\ShieldClient.asmx
and the Policy Distribution Service has been installed on a new server, ACME 43, the URL should be updated as follows:
http:\\ACME43\PolicyServer\ShieldClient.asmx.
Click
.The Management Service and all policies are updated with the new location.
You should not terminate the old Policy Distribution Service until the updated policies have a 100 percent adherence level. For more information about adherence reports, see Section 21.0, Generating Standard Reports.
