Thanks Sandra
You are correct the link is working, although I tried several times that day and I got a broken link, I tried again today and it does work. It is a better doc than the one I referenced in that it contains all that I did in one doc. I had to sort through at least 3 docs for that information. Sorry about confusion in naming, SEPM makes more sense to me than SPC considering the first name is appropriate for what it does.
I discovered that the sylink.xml did have all valid IP's. The issue was that it needed to be pushed to the clients. The second issue is that I have multiple IP's on this server. The sylink picks up all of the IP's that are on the NIC. I brought this up with a technician last week (we have been on holiday since last Thursday), as this is not a good behavior.
We did two things to resolve which did not work. 1: We modified the sylink.xml file and only left the single IP in it; 2: I removed the extra IP's from the NIC.
I turned the old server back on and the clients reconnected to it to get the updates they needed for now. However I am left now with attempting to get this resolved. I did not find any documentation stating that the software needs a single IP on the NIC, is this true?
Thanks, anyone have any more ideas? Should I uninstall and go through the procedure again with a single IP? Then re-add the other IP's I need for this server? Or am I going to need to put it on it's own server?
