Changing a Client Machine's Mapping

You can switch a machine mapping from one department in your location to another.

NOTE: A machine can be mapped to only one department. Adding a machine to a new location removes it from its former department.

To change a client machine’s mapping:

  1. From the Admin Console menu, select Settings > Locations.

    The Locations page opens.

  2. Select the organization, facility, and department where you will map the machine.

  3. From the Options drop-down list, click Map a Machine.

  4. Enter the machine name in the field.

  5. Click Map Machine.

    You see a message that the machine is already mapped to another department.

  6. To map the machine to a new department, click Continue Machine Mapping.

    You see a message that the machine was mapped successfully.

  7. Restart the client machine's Gateway, Hub, and Client services for the new location to take effect. Alternately, reboot the client machine.
