       Hi,

       Can someone describe how to register an existing dirsrv
       instance to an existing admin server? The ds-setup-admin.pl
       scripts clearly performs the registration exercise along with
       the build, but I can't see how to do this as a single, 100%
       safe non-destructive way of registering existing machines to a
       central admin server, to avoid having to annoyingly connect to
       admin instances on evey existing machine as we currently have to.

   You should be able to use register-ds-admin.pl, or use
   setup-ds-admin.pl -u to update software/version information in the
   console.


Hi again,

I've been trying to do this, but I can't see how to register with a different centralized server. at no point in the register-ds-admin.pl steps can I give an alternative server name / IP address to go off and connect to. Any tips?

Try editing /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv/adm.conf to point to the correct server, then try register-ds-admin.pl
