Site Manager Agents initiate the connection to the Site Manager server which manages them. To move a Site Manager Agent to a new server, the settings in the Agent agent can be changed on the Agentagent, or performed using one of the processes listed in this article.

...

Site Manager A can automate the process of migrating Agents agents by passing the connection details of Site Manager B to a number of Agentsagents.

Export and Import Site Manager Configuration

...

1. Install Site Manager on a new computer; the download links can be found by clicking here or in trial/license purchase emails. Both the old and new Site Manager installation should be the same version
2. Remove any license keys from the old Site Manager installation. The keys must be added to the new Site Manager to register them with the new hardware

3. Stop the 'Macrium Remote Management Service' on the new computer from the Services snapin snap-in. 
   Or run the following command from an elevated command prompt:

   Code Block
   language text theme FadeToGrey
   sc stop MacriumRemoteManagementService

4. If the Macrium Site Manager Agent is installed on the new server, it should be stopped too. This can be done in the 'Services' UI or by command line:

   Code Block
   language text theme FadeToGrey
   sc stop MacriumAgentService

5. From your old installation, copy the SiteManager folder located at 'C:\ProgramData\Macrium\' to the new computer, overwriting the existing folder.
6. If you are using an SSL certificate to provide an HTTPS interface, ensure that the certificate files are copied to the same path on the new computer. The default self-signed certificates supplied with Site Manager are installed in the ProgramData\SiteManager folder.

7. Start the 'Macrium Remote Management Service' on the new computer from the 'Services snapin' snap-in. 
   Or run the following command from an elevated command prompt

   Code Block
   language text theme FadeToGrey
   sc start MacriumRemoteManagementService

8. If the Macrium Site Manager Agent is installed, it should be restarted too as above, or by using the following command line:

   Code Block
   language text theme FadeToGrey
   sc start MacriumAgentService

9. Once the service starts, the new Site Manager installation should begin taking over the computers from the old server. The old server should be stopped before this happens. If an agent is in the "'Managed by Another Server" ' state, it may be necessary to manually refresh the agent using the the 'Refresh' button.

10. If licenses were removed from the old server, add them to the new server.
