Moving SolarWinds UDT to a New Server
SolarWinds UDT encrypts your sensitive data with a security certificate stored on the original SolarWinds
UDT server. To grant a new server access to this encrypted data, you must copy the original security
certificate to the new server.
If you do not replicate the original certificate, SolarWinds UDT on the new server cannot access any
credentials used by your component monitors, and all of those component monitors will fail.
To replicate the original certificate:
1.
Export the credential from the original server:
a. On the Start Menu, click Run, type MMC, and then click OK.
b. On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snapin, and then click Add.
c. Select Certificates and then click Add.
d. Select Computer account and then click Next.
e. Select Local computer and then click Finish.
f. Click Close.
