Summary
This article discusses the best practice for modifying the DNS settings used by MSMQ in FlexNet Manager Suite
Synopsis
Is it possible to change the DNS settings used by MSMQ without reinstalling FlexNet Manager Suite?
Discussion
The Powershell scripts used during the installation can be re-ran to modify the web.config file and add the fully qualified domain names of servers for use by DNS. This is documented on page 78 of the 'Migrating to FNMS 2016 on Premises.pdf' and states the following information: "Configuration by the PowerShell scripts is now complete. Although not needed now, at other times it is possible to re-run the PowerShell scripts with the following flags for the use cases shown. You do not need to re-run the scripts unless, at some later stage, one of these use cases applies to you:
? Use without a flag to add a configuration file to a new installation; or on an existing implementation, to remove all customizations and replace the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\WebUI\web.config file with the default version: .\Config.ps1 "Config\FNMS Windows Authentication Config.xml"
? Add the updateConfig flag to insert any new parameters added by Flexera Software, leaving all settings (including customizations) unchanged for existing parameters: .\Config.ps1 "Config\FNMS Window Authentication Config.xml" updateConfig
? Add the forceUpdateConfig flag to insert any new parameters added by Flexera Software, and restore the default values for all factory-supplied settings, but leaving any custom parameters unchanged: .\Config.ps1 "Config\FNMS Windows Authentication Config.xml" forceUpdateConfig
? Add the removeConfig flag to remove the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\WebUI\web.config file before using Windows Programs and Features to uninstall FlexNet Manager Suite: .\Config.ps1 "Config\FNMS Windows Authentication Config.xml" removeConfig"
