Disable the agent from failing over to other Coordinators
Description
Is it possible to force the agent to not failover to another Coordinator if the Coordinator it is currently connected to is no longer available?
Cause
If you force the agent to use a specific Coordinator, by default, if that Coordinator becomes unavailable, the agent will attempt to failover to another available Coordinator.
Resolution
To force the agent to not connect to another Coordinator, if the existing one goes down, please do the following:
Login to the Agent server
Open regedit
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Agent
Create a new DWORD value named DisableRepoFailover
Set the value to 1 to disable the agent from failing over to a different Coordinator
OR
Right click the Agent System tray icon and select Agent Status. if it is not shown in the System tray go to C:\Program Files\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Agent\ and run ServiceStatusTray.exe by right clicking and selecting Run As Administrator
With the Agent status open press Alt+m to open the agent Maintenance Settings
Select the Agent tab
Enter 1 next to "Disable specific scp failover"
Click OK and Apply
