If a repository already exists, you will need to keep it until all agents has transferred to the new one you are about to create.
Remember - replacing a repository does not preserve the history data (alerts and changes made until the time of repository migration).

 

At the new computer (the one that will host the new Prefix repository), logon as administrator

Write down the computer name (this will be your repository name).

This machine must run a "Server" operating system (Windows 2000 or higher, 2003 server etc'... It cannot be an XP machine!)

Copy PrefixSetup.exe to a folder on this computer (the current desktop is the preferred locations), and run it.
Select "Install"
On the next menu, select "PrefixNE Repository"
Follow instructions on the screen.

 

The new repository is now set.

 

To transfer the existing agents to it:

 

Option 1 (trasfer by command) - recommended:

Open a console managing the old repository

Go to "Configuration" -> "Redirect Agents", tick the "Everyone" checkbox on the "Select by" group.

In the edit box type the name of the new repository host (computer name)

Click "Apply" button.

Option 2 (re-deploy agents):

Open a console managing this repository,

Click the "Install" button at the top toolbar.

Select one or more installation methods from the red panel on the left.

To verify all agents have transferred to the new repository:

Open a console managing the old repository,

Once all agents appear with gray, red  (within minutes) or yellow icons (within several days), you can remove the old repository by deleting all its shares.

Open a console managing the new repository,

Once all agents appear on the list (no matter with which icon) it means they have registered on the new repository and are set to operate with it.
