Restore communication to clients with a new Sylink.xml Follow steps (1) and (2) of situation (A) above.Ģ. The new sylink.xml will contain the IP address and the hostname of the new server.ġ. This is done by replacing the sylink.xml file on the client machines by the one exported from the SEPM. In this situation the same procedures as before need to be followed, but the communications with the server will have to be restored. If the new server has a different IP address and host name: The database schema will only be converted when you run the installer to upgrade the new SEPM.ī. It is not possible to transition the database directly onto a newer version of SEPM due to differences in the database schema. (1) If you are looking to not only move the SEPM to another machine, but also upgrade it to the latest version, you will have to either upgrade the old server first, and then move it to the new machine or move it and then upgrade. As a consequence you might see two domains showing up in the SEPM console.ģ. Once you disable the old server and enable the new one with the same IP address and hostname, the SEP clients should be automatically redirected upon the next heartbeat.

It will also cause incoherence's in relation to the database being imported. If you perform a manual configuration, those ID’s will be recreated differently and the SEP Clients will not recognize the new server. These contain other information, such as domain IDs, group IDs, server certificate, etc., which is known to the SEP Client. Do not manually try to reconfigure those settings, rather make sure you import the configuration files. Use the procedures described in the Disaster Recovery in order to restore the database that you backed up from the old server, as well as the configuration files.


Install the same version of the SEPM you have now on the new machine (1).

Disaster Recovery procedure for SEP 12.1Ģ. Disaster Recovery procedure for SEP 11.xī. Perform a backup of the database and of the configuration files as per the Disaster Recovery procedure:Ī. From the SEP client perspective, it is as if the machine remained the same.ġ. Once the moving of the SEPM to the new machine is completed according to the procedures below, the SEP clients will automatically be redirected to the new machine. In this case the communication settings will be the same. If the new server has the same IP address and host name:
