How to update DNS in the agent configuration

1 - Update the configuration file

Open the following file :

C:\Program Files\proVconnect\proVconnect Device Agent\Device Agent\bin\Wanpulse.config

Find the line : <add key="Communication.Url" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />

Edit the line this way : <add key="Communication.Url" value="https://IP-OR-DNS:HTTPS-PORT" />

With :

IP-OR-DNS corresponding to the IP address or DNS of your proVconnect instance (prefer DNS)
HTTPS-PORT corresponding to the port used for your instance (generally 443)

You can use the following PowerShell script:

# Define variables
$ipOrDns = "IP-OR-DNS"
$httpsPort = "443"
$file = "C:\Program Files\proVconnect\proVconnect Device Agent\Device Agent\bin\Wanpulse.config"


# Replace the URL in configuration file
$pattern = 'value="https?://[^"]*"'
$replacement = "value=`"https://$($ipOrDns):$($httpsPort)`""
(Get-Content $file) -replace $pattern, $replacement | Set-Content $file

2 - Restart the service

Kill the running service process

$id = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Filter "Name LIKE 'proVconnect Device Agent Service'" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ProcessId
if ($id -ne 0) { Get-Process -Id $id | Stop-Process -Force }

Start the service

Get-Service -Name "proVconnect Device Agent Service" | Start-Service
