Connecting Dr.Web Agent to Other Dr.Web Server

You can connect the Agent to the other Server by one of the following ways:

1.Via the Control Center.

Remote management without a direct access to the station is possible in case the station is still connected to the previous Server. You need the access to the Control Center both of the previous and the new servers.

2.Directly at the station.

To perform the actions directly on the station, you must have administrative permissions on the station and permissions to edit the Agent properties, which are set on the Server. If you do not have these permissions, you can reconnect to other Server locally on the station only after removing installed Agent and installing the new Agent with the new Server settings. If you do not have permissions to remove the Agent locally, use Dr.Web Remover utility to remove the Agent on the stations or remove the Agent via the Control Center.

To reconnect Dr.Web Agent to another Dr.Web Server via the Control Center

1.On the new Server, allow the stations with incorrect authorization parameters to request new authorization parameters as being newbies. For this, in the Control Center, select the Administration item of the main menu → the Dr.Web Server configuration item of the control menu → the General tab:

a)Set the Reset unauthorized to newbie flag if it is cleared.

b)If the option Always deny access is selected in the Newbies registration drop-down list, change it to the Approve access manually or Allow access automatically.

c)To apply these settings, click Save and reboot the Server.

info

If your company policy does not allow to change settings from the step 1, then you need to set the parameters of the station authorization, in accordance with the account created in advance in the Control Center, directly at the station.

2.On the old Server to which the Agent is connected, set the parameters of the new Server. For this, in the main menu of the Control Center, select the Anti-Virus Network item → select the required station (or the group for reconnecting all the stations of this group) in the hierarchical list of the network → in the control menu, select the Connection settings item:

a)If the new Server certificate does not match the previous Server certificate, set the path to the new Server certificate in the Certificate field.

b)Set the new Server address in the Server field.

c)Click Save.

To reconnect Dr.Web Agent to another Dr.Web Server directly at station

1.Set the new Server parameters in the Agent settings. For this, in the context menu of the Agent icon, select: Settings → the Main tab → the Server item → the Connection parameters section → the Change settings button:

a)If the new Server certificate does not match the previous Server certificate, set the path to the new Server certificate using the List of certificates button.

b)Set the corresponding parameters of the new Server using the Add button.

2.Make the station a newbie (reset the authorization parameters on the Server). For this, in the connection settings section from the step 1, click the following: the Station connection parameters button → the Reset the parameters and connect as a newbie button → the Reset the parameters button.

info

If you already know the ID and the password to connect the new Server, you can provide them in the Station ID and the Password fields. In this case, there is no need to make the station a newbie.
