Agents require an Arellia Management Server (AMS) to communicate with. The recommended way to set the AMS address is during the installation of the Arellia Agent by setting the AMSURL parameter. The AMS address can be changed post-install via the registry or PowerShell. 

Setting the AMS Address via the Registry Editor

To set the AMS address via the Registry, do the following steps:

  1. Open the Registry Editor and navigate to HKLM > Software > Policies > Arellia > AMS.
  2. In the Edit String dialog box, change the BaseURL to your AMS Address. 



  3. Close the registry.
  4. Restart the Arellia Agent service.

Setting the AMS Address via PowerShell

To set the AMS address via PowerShell, run this command:

C:\Program Files\Arellia\Powershell\Arellia.Agent\SetAmsServer.ps1

The script will then ask you to type in the fully qualified domain name of the server.
