Change Parent server form Novell server to windows 2000

[vijmat]

Hi

Presently all the NAV clients (7.51) are connected to our NAV server (ver 7.6) which is a Novell 4.11 box. I have to change the parent server on all these clients from this Novell box to a new Windows 2000 server. Symantec site tell me how to change a parent server from one windows Server to another for all the clients (by making some registry changes).

Can someone tell me how do I achieve the above. Thanks in advance.

HI.

Search Symantec site for instructions on using the GRC.DAT method.

As I remember, you simple copy the GRC.DAT from the new server to:

Program Files\Norton AntiVirus (on Win9x clients)
Some other folder on NT/2000 clients.

Take the GRC.DAT from the new 2000 server. It should be found at \\SERVER\VPHOME from the network or C:\PROGRAM FILES\NAV localy on the server.

When you put the file in the correct folder, you'll see it deleted after a short time (less then few minutes), and the client now goes to the new parent server.

Bye
