Need to redirect Altiris Agent and Dagent to a new ns console

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi,
I am about to migrate all my Agents (Altiris Agent and Dagent) to a new console in a new Domain.
I am looking for a script or any kind of automation that can allow me to redirect my Agents.
I don't need to do both agents at the same time which mean that i can use one of the console to redirect the others.
thanks!!

Can the domains see each other?
If so, you can right-click on a group of clients, Change Agent Settings > Production Agent, modify the Address/Hostname for the new console.
There's a redirect option in the NS console...
And the DAgent, I'd just re-push from the new console. OR you could send down a config change to DAgent to change the DS IP addy in the advanced settings.
However, that depends on if you're doing this because your DS/NS is changing as well, or if there will be a new DS/NS to point to while the old is still up.
My solution is for the latter. For the former, you may have to use a login script or something.
Thoughts anyone?

I can easily migrate my agents from a ds to the others with the production settings.
it becomes a bit more complicated for the remote PXE servers because i got 160 of them.
I have to edit the pxe.ini and rpc.ini on the remote PXE to change the ip address of the ds in those two files. Then i have to delete all the information (hostname and guid) about those remote pxe server in the pxemanager.ini in the ds console.
This way when you restart the service, your pre-boot such as winpe , linux, dos are deleted and remplaced by the new one in the new DS.
To make sure everything is correct, you should check that your remote PXE gets updated in the status table of the new DS.
thanks!!
