354.0. "Moving a client to new server" by SWETSC::WESTERBACK (Panta rei) Tue Jan 28 1997 03:28

    I had nsr installed on my NT workstation earlier, and backed it up
    to a Unix server. When I now updated nsr, and wanted to back it up
    to a new NT server instead, it didn't work at first, got an error
    message in the NT server. Found out there's a file \res\servers
    with the name of the old server, and changed this to the new one.
    
    Now the backup works, but when I start Networker admin I always
    start with the old server, and have to do a Change server, and if I try
    to use Networker user it just says trying to connect to <oldserver>,
    then <my-workstation> is not a client of <oldserver>, and then the user
    screen goes away. So I can't even try a restore... How do I get rid of
    the old server completely, and start with the new server when firing up
    Networker?

Did you modify the servers file but not stop/restart the services?
(in this case NetWorker Remote Exec Service)
or
Did you modify the winadmin & winworkr to use -s when starting?
(see properties).

    OK now. I had looked in 4.2 Release notes, where Servers file was not
    mentioned. Found it in 4.3 version. Then I had missed the icon
    properties...  I had only printed out Installation and Admin Guide,
    thought I didn't need User Guide...;-)
    
    Thanks,
