Changing IP address - SEP 11.0 manager
Created: 17 Jan 2012 | 9 comments
Hi There
My Win 2008 Enterprise server has two NIC card; Subnet A, Subnet B. All my clients are in a domain with "Subnet A". When I install Symantec Manager, it somehow took "Subnet B NIC" as its server. Because of this issue I could not find my clients using "Migration and Deployment". So I would like to change the Symantec Manager IP address inorder to install my clients using "pushdown" method.
Please Advice.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
If you wish to change the IP address of existing SEPM then you should first configure your SEPM for multiple NIC's by following link provided below.
Which will help you in creating redundancy scenario on SEPM for NIC's.
After this you can easily switch between your IP's or you can simply remove the older one.

Note: Before you proceed it is strongly recommended that, you should back up the database.

Recommendations
Hello,
To change the IP Address that clients use to communicate with the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager, create a Management Server List that has the new IP Address configured and assign that policy to all the groups..
Repeat 7-9 if you want to reference the same server by host name of the server, for step 8, enter the server name instead of IP.
10. Click on OK to confirm.
11. Right click on the new management server list and assign it to the appropriate groups.
NOTE: The above steps may be performed before changing the IP address of the server. If the IP address has been changed before following this procedure, we would need to export a new sylink.xml file and update it on all the clients.
If this is performed before the ip address is changed, then the clients will be offline, till the IP address is updated.

Migration and Deployment
As I can understand from your issue, you are using the Migration and Deployment wizard and not able to find any of your client computers,
Migration and Deployment Wizard works independent of your SEPM, hence this issue may not be related to the SEPM at all.
As an alternative you could use the PushDeploymentWizard available in the Tools folder in the installation CD/DVD. Copy this folder over to another (preferably non 2008 server) and use the ClinetRemote.exe file from that computer. Note that you will need to create the required packages first and then also copy them to the same computer.

My two pence worth :)
I'd suggest changing the NIC bind order within Windows as a test if this will prompt the migration wizard to work. It sounds as if the wizard is only able to use the first NIC in the list.
MS article below on how to change the bind order (note in Win2k8 and higher you'll have to hit the 'Alt' key after step 1 in order to see the 'Advanced' menu option):
