Nice little tidbit to warn users of Epo 2.X if you have a network upgrade and have to change the static IP address of your server. You have to UNINSTALL all EPO software from the server, change the IP address, then REINSTALL all the software!!! what a stupid way to design what I thought was a great piece of software. If anyone knows a way around this i'm all ears. Don't believe me? look up "IP Address" in EPO's help section.

IIRC, all you need to do is to change the IP address, restart, rebuild the agent installer and re-deploy the agent to the machines. Only thing that you probably need to do is to re-enable the software deployment.

How can I rebuild the agent installer if I can't login to the EPO Console?
 
You can log in. All you need to do is to change the SITEINFO.INI file to reflect the new IP address. DO NOT CHANGE THE SERVER NAME. Should have no problem rebuilding.

You can also just delete the POAGINST.EXE file in the ePO\2.0 directory, stop the service then restart the service. This should create a new POAGINST.EXE file for you to distribute.

Did it work? :)
