procedure for moving the management server on WIndows 2000

1. Install the FireWall-1 software on the 2000 server. When setting this software up, designate the firewall module as a remote module. You will be prompted for a
secret key to authenticate management commands. YOU MUST USE THE SAME KEY OF THE FIRST TIME, OR EVEN DO PUTKEYS AGAIN.

2. Remove current objects.* from the 2000 server

3. Transfer these files from the SOLARIS management module to the new 2000 managment module (FTP is fine):

$FWDIR/conf/objects.C (objects and properties)
$FWDIR/conf/*.W (security policy)
$FWDIR/conf/rulebases.fws (Combined rule bases for GUI clients)
$FWDIR/conf/fwauth.NDB (User database)
$FWDIR/conf/fwmusers Adminstrators
$FWDIR/conf/gui-clients Allow GUI Adminstrative hosts

Note: Any *.NDB files must be transferred in binary mode. All other files should be transferred in ASCII mode.

3. Restart the 2000 management station.

4. Sometimes it is neccessary to regenerate the rulebases.fws file and objects.C files once moved to the new management station. This is done when you no longer see your rulebases or objects once you login to the Gui Client on the new mangement console.
