We recently had a blue screen on our Symantec server, after troubleshooting, we had to reinstall the OS (win server 2003). We reloaded all that was needed for symantec. now the clients will not connect to it. all the settings on the symantec server are the same: the name, the ip, installation paths, everything. i went to one of the clients and uninstalled symantec and reinstalled it. and it showed up in the managed list for symantec system center.
Is there a way for the server or clients to "re-see" the parent server without uninstalling symantec and reinstalling?
If not, is there a way to remotely perform and uninstall? i have a script that will uninstall but the script needs to be run locally on the computer and it requires user interaction with the uninstall because of the password protect. i do not have the knowledge to make a script to turn the password protect off in the registery.
any help would be appreciated. It's just hard for me to believe symantec wouldnt have a solution for this type of problem.
