Question:
Prior to 9.0 R2 renaming a plain Uniprint or Signup server that did not have PrintCenter installed was a relatively simple affair. With the advent of the Updater service, the system now creates a certificate for the updater service upon initial installation. When it is necessary to rename that server afterwards, it is also necessary to generate a new certificate.
Answer:
After renaming the server you should perform the following steps. The default path to the PharosSystems.Updater.Service.exe is C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharos\UpdaterService. The following commands must be executed from an Administrative command prompt.
Run the executable with the --uninstall switch (PharosSystems.Updater.Service.exe --uninstall)
Run the executable with the --install switch (PharosSystems.Updater.Service.exe --install)
If you delete the SSL Certificate associated with the 2350 TCP Port first then rename the server you may need to follow the below procedure.
Run the executable with the --uninstall switch (PharosSystems.Updater.Service.exe --uninstall)
Open an administrative command prompt and issue the below command
netsh http delete sslcert 0.0.0.0:2350
Run "netsh http show sslcert" to verify there is no binding for 0.0.0.0:2350
Run the executable with the --install switch (PharosSystems.Updater.Service.exe --install)
You can now run "netsh http show sslcert" to verify the binding for 0.0.0.0:2350
