What happens when I change the IP address of the Enterprise Server?

Moltron

Hello,

I have been tasked to complete a Sophos rollout.  The Enterprise console and server were already setup when I came to the table, however the server was never given a static IP address.  For now, I've created a reservation in DHCP so the server's IP sill stay the same, but I would like to change it to the server IP block.

Has anyone ever changed the IP address of the server?  Hopefully the clients communicate via DNS to find the server.  I'll probably just wing it next week sometime, I mean what's the worst that can happen, I change the IP back to dynamic.

It would be nice to know if anyone has done this before, or if IP really matters and I can just make sure DNS is up to date.  There are roughly 500 clients already rolled out...

...Thanks in advance!

    Hi just to confirm that if you’’’’re using FQDN you should be ok. Not sure how your environment is setup but may be worth checking your Firewalls if your supporting remote sites. Ensure that the firewalls use using FQDN. I was unfortunate and we used IP address and that caused a few issues.

    Sophos have a knowledgebase article 14635 that explains how and what to edit the mrinit.conf  I must stress I am no expert but hope this information helps. Cheers Simon
