This section describes how to change the communication method between the client (CT) and the Management Server.
Change the communication method using files in the Management Server
The transfer target information file (DTKServerChange.txt) can be used to change the communication method.
The communication port number used between the client (CT) and the Management Server can also be modified at the same time.
Note
Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 Fast Startup feature
Assume that you are using Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, the Fast Startup feature is enabled, and you shut down before you have logged on. In this case, the transfer target information file and CT operation parameter information file update operations, the CT policy request operation, and the self version upgrade check that are normally performed when a PC starts may not work. To ensure that these operations are performed properly, restart the operating system instead of shutting down.
The procedure of changing is as follows:
Create the transfer target information file (DTKServerChange.txt) in the Management Server.
Refer to "Transfer Target Information File" in the Reference Manual for details on the transfer target information file.
Storage location
C:\ProgramData\Fujitsu\Systemwalker Desktop Keeper
When changing the communication method, specify the following value to 11th item in the transfer target information file.
Value | Description |
|---|---|
0 or empty string | Uses the value set in the client (CT). |
2 | Proprietary communication method (V15.1.1 or earlier communication method). |
3 | Secure communication method. |
Note
When no modification is made about the Management Server, specify the empty string to item 3 (server IP address) in the transfer target information file. When setting the server IP address or the host name that is the same as the address of the Management Server set on the client, the communication method or port numbers will not be changed.
When changing the port number, specify the number to item 6 to 10 in the transfer target information file.
When the client (CT) is started or immediate update is performed through the Management Console, the setting contents will be notified to the client (CT) as CT policy.
The notification result is output to the Management Server directories below as a transfer target information file/execution log (DTKServerChange.log).
C:\ProgramData\Fujitsu\Systemwalker Desktop Keeper
Restart the client (CT) after the policy is applied to the client (CT). To see whether the policy has been applied or not, confirm if "Client Policy Update Date and Time" of the Management Console is updated.
Confirm that the settings are updated, then delete the transfer target information file or move it to another directory.
