Client Reparent Utility: wgnReparent.exe

WgnReparent.exe allows administrators to move machines between parents (gateway servers or the CMS, within the same or different hierarchies). Note that where a machine is being moved to a new CMS infrastructure, the user will be prompted for confirmation first. Typical examples are shown below:

• Display the parents for all machines known to the CMS:

  WgnReparent -all -show
  

• Display the parents for one or more client machines:

  WgnReparent -show MACHINE1 MACHINE2 MACHINE3
  

• Move one or more machines to a new parent:

  WgnReparent -parent NEW_PARENT MACHINE1 MACHINE2 MACHINE3
  

• Move the local machine to a new parent:

  WgnReparent -parent NEW_PARENT
  

• Move all child machines of a specified gateway to a new parent:

  WgnReparent -parent NEW_PARENT -children GATEWAY
  

For full usage instructions, run:

wgnReparent -?  

Note: To reparent a child machine to a parent in a different hierarchy, users need to be a local administrator on the client machine or CMS.
