Re: New System

Thank you both, unfortunately we are also changing IP addresses so DNS is
out. Sean I had a feeling it would be a problem. I guess we might have to
see about deploying a new connection with group policy - if that is
possible?

No, I don't think there is any feasible way to deploy a change like that
to the clients. You have no way of knowing what .ws file they are even
using for the connection. Even if you did, you'd have to have a custom
program able to parse and edit or replace that file to change the IP
address (or host name) in that file. Also, any connection settings from
System i Navigator would be separate from the .ws file settings. There
are also some settings stored in .CAE files depending on the configuration.

Subject: New System

We currently have around 800 users and we are planning to deploy a new
server before too much longer and I am concerned that some of those users
will have an IP address configured for their 5250 session and that will
fail when we deploy the server.

Has anyone been through the same issue and managed to deploy a change
through active directory group policy or similar.

I have tried to 'google' for an answer but no joy.

TIA
