Specify the Network Directory location on application computers
If you have not done so already, use the FactoryTalk Directory Server Location Utility to
specify the location of the FactoryTalk Network Directory server.
Performing this task might require more than one set of FactoryTalk security credentials:
 To use the FactoryTalk Directory Server Location Utility, you must have
administrative rights on the local computer.
 To specify a remote location for the Network Directory, you must have administrative
rights on the remote computer.
To specify the Network Directory on application computers
1. On the client or server computer, click Start > All Programs > Rockwell Software >
FactoryTalk Tools, and then click Specify FactoryTalk Directory Location.
2. Click the Browse button beside the field, Computer hosting directory server.
3. In the FactoryTalk Directory Server Configuration dialog box, click Remote
computer.
4. Type the name of the Network Directory server computer, or click the Browse button
to find and select the computer, and then click OK.
5. Click OK again, to close the FactoryTalk Directory Server Location Utility.
Move the application’s data server files
After specifying the FactoryTalk Network Directory location on application computers,
ensure that the required communications software (RSLinx Enterprise, RSLinx Classic, or
other OPC software) is installed on computers that will run data servers.
Then, if necessary for the data servers you are deploying, move configuration files to the
production computers, and then specify the new host computer names.
Backing up and restoring RSLinx Classic configurations
RSLinx Classic configuration files are not included when you back up a network station
application. You have to back up, move, and restore the files manually.
For information about moving setup files for OPC data servers other than RSLinx Classic, see
the product documentation for the OPC server.
