Using the Update Configuration Tool

Step 1: Make the updated trac.config file on the administrator machine:

  1. On the administrator Remote Access client machine, add and delete sites and make changes to the configuration of your sites.

  2. Copy the trac.config file from the installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\) and save it in a temporary location, for example, your desktop. Keep the name of the file as trac.config.

  3. Distribute the trac.config file to users with the instructions below.

Step 2: Replace the trac.config file on a user machine:

  1. Stop the Remote Access clients services from the CLI:

    net stop tracsrvwrapper

  2. Copy trac.config from the current installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\) to a temporary directory (for example C:\windows\temp).

  3. Copy the new trac.config file (created in Step 1) to the installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\).

  4. Run the update_config tool command to transfer user information from the old file to the new file. For example:

    • In versions lower than E87.30: update_config_tool "C:\Windows\Temp\trac.config" "C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\"

    • Starting from version E87.30: update_config_tool/config "C:\Windows\Temp\trac.config" "C:\Program Files\CheckPoint\Endpoint Connect\"

  5. Start the Remote Access clients services from the CLI:

    net start tracsrvwrapper
