Domain name change

Norm,

I've done it twice with no problems whatsoever. 1st time for a company
change, second time for split DNS change.

Like Charlie and Jim said, the only things that will trip you up are
misconfigured DNS and service & folder permissions.


have fun!

Subject: [Vantage] Domain name change

I need to join the Vantage server to a new domain. Epicor is telling me
that after doing that I have to uninstall and reinstall the Vantage
software.

Is that true? That's a task I really don't want to do. Any easier
ways?
I know I can use the IP address of the server in my mfg files rather
that
the dns name of the server.

I sent this email for 1st time 3 hours ago, but it hasn't showed up in
my
inbox. has any body seen it?

thanks,



Norm Watkins

Other than their crazy folder permissions on that epicor share, I can't
think of a reason why you would have to do a reinstall so just make sure the
permissions are still correct. Everything is referenced by the server name
and so unless you are entering everything as domainname.servername I don't
see any issues. I've dropped servers off a domain changed their name and
then rejoined to the same domain. The only issue I had was getting the old
entry out of DNS.



Do you have a standalone test server that you could try it out on?
