Renaming a View Connection Server? No!
There are several cases where it is a requirement to rename a View Connection Server respectively the Windows Server running the broker. This could happen for example during a network migration or a merger of two companies. To come directly to the point: Don’t do it, never just rename the Windows box computer name. There
are to many dependencies between the name and the View LDAP and other components of the View installation.
Delete a Replica Server from a server group
For high availability of the View Manager environment it’s possible to add a maximum of 4 additional connection servers, called Replica servers to one View connection server group. In total you’ll have 5 servers dealing with the connecting users. During the installation of a replica server it is manually added to the server group by the administrator and it’s configuration data is written to the View LDAP database afterwards. The new server itself does create a copy of the existing View LDAP instance and replicate all data. During operations all changes on the View servers including the Global Settings, the users and the desktops are propagated between all servers in the View connection server group. If one of the replica servers is removed from the group by disconnection or installation which is permanent it is recommend to delete this servers from the View LDAP.
