1. Define variables for the computers that host the SQL Compliance Manager Agent and the new Collection Server. For example, if you plan to run a Visual Basic script locally on the computer that hosts the SQL Server, your script may include the following code: 
   ' Define the SQL Compliance Manager Agent server
strComputer = "SQLServer01"
strNewCollectionServer = "CollectionServer02"
 
2. Declare the SQL Compliance Manager Agent and registry objects. For example, if you plan to run a Visual Basic script locally on the computer that hosts the SQL Server, your script may include the following code:
   ' Get the SQLcompliance Agent and registry objects
Set objComplianceAgent = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\cimv2:Win32_Service='SQLcomplianceAgent'")
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
& strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")


3. Stop the SQL Compliance Manager Agent Service. For example, if you plan to run a Visual Basic script locally on the computer that hosts the SQL Server, your script may include the following code:
   ' Stop the SQLcompliance Agent Set flgStopStatus = objComplianceAgent.ExecMethod_("StopService")


4. Change the registry key. For example, if you plan to run a Visual Basic script locally on the computer that hosts the SQL Server, your script may include the following code:
   ' Change the location of the Collection Server in the registry
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strRegAgentPath = "SOFTWARE\Idera\SQLcompliance\SQLcomplianceAgent"
strServerValName = "Server"
objReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strRegAgentPath, strServerValName, strOldServer
objReg.SetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strRegAgentPath,strServerValName, strNewCollectionServer
WScript.Echo "Changed collection server from " & strOldServer & " to " & strNewCollectionServer
 
5. Start the SQL Compliance Manager Agent Service. For example, if you plan to run a Visual Basic script locally on the computer that hosts the SQL Server, your script may include the following code:
   ' Restart the SQLcompliance Agent Set flgStartStatus = objComplianceAgent.ExecMethod_("StartService")


6. Using an administrator account, run your script to update each SQL Compliance Manager Agent deployed to your registered SQL Servers.
