I'm in the process of moving our director to a new system and needed
to update the bacula-fd.conf on all our Windows client PCs to use the
new name. This VBScript function can be inserted into your domain
login script and customised to suit your setup.
Sending around an E-Mail telling people to logout and login is a lot
easier than trying to explain a simple text replace to non-technical
staff :)
Note for people considering rolling out Bacula:
Setup a CNAME (DNS alias) like baculadir.office.example.com which
points at your server and use that in your configuration files. If I
had done that when I started I would not have needed to write this
script at all.
Cheers,
Dominic
