Change the Domain Server a Distribution Server Connects To

In the situation where the network address of the domain server machine changes after the original installation, it is necessary to reconfigure the distribution server to connect to a new network address.

Prior to making the configuration change shown below it is important to verify that the new network address is connectable from the distribution server. If the distribution cannot make a connection to the domain server using the new address then deployment functionality will not work correctly.

To change the domain server a distribution server connects to

1. From the Start menu, open Administrative Tools, Services.

   The Services user interface appears, listing the installed services.

2. Right-click CA SM Distribution Server and select Properties.

   The Properties dialog appears.

3. Click Stop to stop the service.
4. Enter the following parameter into the Start parameters field:

   -m domainserver

   The domainserver parameter specifies the IP address or DNS name of the domain server.

5. Click Start

   The distribution server will now attempt to connect to the domainserver address entered.
