Use this Knowledge Script to configure the AppManager Client Communication Manager service, NetIQccm, to use an IP address or hostname to communicate with the management server.
By default, the Client Communication Manager service uses an IP address to locate and communicate with the management server. However, in some environments this may present problems. For example, if your management server and managed clients are connected through a remote dialup connection and use DHCP, IP addresses may be assigned dynamically and change from one connection time to the next, or your management server may be installed on a cluster requiring you to use a cluster name rather than a specific IP address. Use this script to change the default setting for the CCM service.
Configuring AppManager services to use an IP address or hostname is done on a site-by-site basis.
Windows 2003 Server or later
