Changing the location of a computer

When you change the physical location of a computer, you should update its location in the RM Management Console. This will cause the computer to automatically inherit properties from its new location. For example, if drive mappings and a printer have been set up for the location, users will automatically be provided with the drive mappings and a connection to the printer when they log on to the computer in the new location.

To change the location of a computer

  1. From the left-hand pane, expand Picture of the Locations icon Locations.

  2. From the left-hand pane, choose the location which contains the computer that you want to move.

  3. From the right-hand pane, right-click the computer and from the menu, choose Move.

  4. Select the location that you want to move the computer to.

  5. Click OK. The computer is moved to the new location.

Notes

  • You can use the same process to move multiple computers. First, select all of the computers in the list in the right-hand pane that you want to move.

  • The packages assigned to the computer are unaffected when the computer is moved to a different location.

  • After you have changed a computer's location, the computer must be restarted for the properties from the new location to take effect.
