Hi,
I have lost the admin password for my epo console. It's version 3.5. I am about to reinstall it now. I have made note of current policy settings.
-Will the new install inherit policy settings from the old install?
-Does the agent need to be pushed out to all servers again
-Will servers (that were working with old console install) need to be configured to work with the new install?
-Any other considerations?
Thanks

Thanks Si, the AD sync of version 4 is not needed here (I am just controlling servers from this ePO server), so I am installing 3.6.1 with patch 4.
Is there a way of telling if the client is working properly with the ePO server? I find it difficult to tell if it still looking for the old 3.5 install.
Do the 3.5 agents work with 3.6.1?
Hiya
Yes, easiest way to test it is http://machinename:8081 (defaultport for ePO agent)
You would need to upgrade the 3.5 agents to work with 3.6.1, but they should still work, but suffer from reduced functionality
i'd personally redeploy them from ePO

Morning
Personally I'd do a new installation of ePO 4, but if you need to reinstall 3.5, then you will need to backup the key pairs or you will need to push out the Agents again from the server and recreate the policies
Otherwise, keep the same machine name and keep the same IP address
ePO 4 is better as you can synch your Active Directory and have ePO deploy the agent and AV to new machines when they are created in AD.
You can also set it up so that when machines have not checked in for 3 days (or however long) you can get ePO to redeploy the agent automatically
If you can't get in to ePO 3.5, then you are pretty much stuck with a new installation
Let me know if you need anything else
Cheers
Si
