What happened if universal forwarder is pointed to a new Deployment server?

Hello,

Situation:
- Universal forwarder pointed to a temp Deployment server
- Two applications are deployed on the Universal Forwarder from the temp Deployment server

What happened with the two applications if I change Universal Forwarder deployment server configuration and point it to a new Deployment server? The new Deployment server is a fresh server with no applications defined and it is intended.
- Will the applications be deleted by Universal Forwarder?
- Will the applications remain and will be not managed?

Thank you in advance for any reply.

Best Regards,
Ales

Hello AlesFrohlich,
to your questions:
Will the applications be deleted by Universal Forwarder? Yes
- Will the applications remain and will be not managed? No
there are many answers here on how to migrate a deployment server
remember that in order to have apps on your client, you must have them joined to a serverclass (matches apps to clients) no server class = no apps on client even if the apps are on the new Deployment Server
hope it helps
