Steps to follow after changing the management server hostname

After changing the management server hostname (in Windows) and rebooting the machine:

Steps

  1. Update the Forcepoint Management Infrastructure with the new hostname.

    See Configuring the infrastructure to use a new IP address or hostname for instructions.

    If SQL Server Express is installed on this machine, it is not automatically configured to use the new hostname along with the infrastructure. It must be configured separately. See the following Microsoft article for instructions:

  2. (Web protection solutions): Edit the configuration for the web protection management components to reflect the new hostname. See Configuring a new hostname for web protection management components.
  3. (Forcepoint DLP only): Modify the management server installation to reflect the change.
