How to force the Altiris client to point to a new Deployment Server
Created: 10 Mar 2010
If you have migrated Deployment Server to a new Server but the clients are still pointing to the old Deployment server, you can set up a login script with a batch file containing the following :
@echo off net stop "Altiris Deployment Agent" regedit /s \\"newDSserver"\eXpress\newDSip.reg net start "Altiris Deployment Agent"
Make sure to place the “newDSip.reg” key in the eXpress share.
Copy and past the following text to a notepad file and rename it with .reg extension:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Altiris\Client Service] "UseMCast"=dword:00000001 "TcpAddr"="<FQDN,IP, or NetBIOS NEW DS server>"
