Executing a Test Against a Remote Intelligence Server

Integrity Manager uses the Windows TCP/IP hosts file to contact remote Intelligence Servers. This file contains server names and IP addresses for other networked machines that can be accessed from this machine.

In Windows, to execute an integrity test against an Intelligence Server on a machine other than the one Integrity Manager is running on, you need to add an entry to the hosts file for the machine Integrity Manager is running on.

To Add an Entry to the hosts File

1. In the Windows system folder, navigate to the \system32\drivers\etc folder.
   • For Windows 2000 and Windows 2003, the system folder is C:\WINNT\.
   • For Windows XP, the system folder is C:\WINDOWS\.
2. Open the hosts file with a text editor, such as Notepad.
3. For each Intelligence Server machine that you want to test against, add a line to the file in the same format as the examples given in the file.
4. Save and close the hosts file. You can now execute integrity tests against the Intelligence Servers specified in the file.
