App Control: How to Update the Server Address or Port on an Agent (Windows)

[#1]

Environment

• App Control Agent: All Supported Versions
• Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions

Objective

To instruct the App Control Agent to use a new Server Address and/or Communication Port.

Resolution

1. Open an elevated command prompt and issue the following commands:

   cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bit9\Parity Agent"
   dascli password <GlobalCLIPassword>
   dascli tamperprotect 0
   dascli setserver <NewServerAddress> <NewServerPort>

2. Verify the changes were applied, and Tamper Protection is again enabled, by issuing:

   dascli status
   

Additional Notes

• This will initiate a Repair Install and generate a log file: "C:\ProgramData\Bit9\Parity Agent\Logs\ParityHostAgentRepair.log"
• These steps are intended only to be used to update the Server Address/Port Number and cannot be used to migrate Agents to a new Console.
• In some instances the Agent may need to be restarted.
• If Tamper Protection did not re-enable, enter the following in a command prompt:

  cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bit9\Parity Agent"
  dascli password <GlobalCLIPassword> 
  dascli tamperprotect 1
