Using the Command Line Interface (NetworkconfigurationCLI.exe)

This section provides instructions for using NetworkconfigurationCLI.exe to change the network settings of your Parallels Pro Control Panel server.

To change the network settings of Parallels Pro Control Panel server using the CLI:

1. Connect to the Parallels Pro Control Panel server using the console or terminal services and log on as the administrator.
2. Open a command window, and change to <Parallels_ Pro_Control_Panel_install_path>\cp\admin\bin directory, where <Parallels_Pro_Control_Panel_install_path> is the location of the Parallels Pro Control Panel installation directory. If Parallels Pro Control Panel is installed in the default location, then the path is C:\Program Files\Ensim\WEBppliance\cp\admin\bin.
3. Type the following command on the command line.

   NetworkconfigurationCLI.exe <server_IP_address> <server_FQDN> <username> <password> <restart_now>

   where:

   • <server_IP_address> is the new IP address of the Parallels Pro Control Panel server
   • <server_FQDN> is the new Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the server

     Note: If you want to change only one parameter, either the server's IP address or its FQDN, ensure that you enter the current value of the other parameter.

   • <username> is the server administrator's login name for logging onto the Parallels Pro Control Panel.
   • <password> is the server administrator's password for logging onto the Parallels Pro Control Panel.
   • <restart_now> refers to whether you want to restart the server after executing the command or not. If you want to restart the server, type yes; if not, type no.

     Note: The network settings of the server are changed only after it is restarted.

     Example:
     If you want to change your Parallels Pro Control Panel server's IP address to 192.0.34.166, and its FQDN to example.net, then run the following command:

     NetworkconfigurationCLI.exe 192.0.34.166 example.net admin parallelspro yes

     If you want to change only the server's IP address to 192.0.34.100, then run the following command with the server's current FQDN.

     NetworkconfigurationCLI.exe 192.0.34.100 example.net admin parallelspro yes
