WAPT agent on new server

Hello,

just a quick question.
Let's say I have a working WAPT server, with the agent installed via GPO (using the --hash parameter).
My WAPT server crashes.
I rebuild it, reinstall WAPT and its agent, BUT, the hash won't be the same as the old one.
What happens to the old agents?
Will they continue to work? :shock:

Thanks for your answers,
Scorpio92

The hash is only used for installation, so already installed Wapt clients will continue to work.

You'll simply need to change the hash to match the new Waptagent. But as I said, it's only used during installation to verify that the file isn't corrupted when WaptDeploy downloads the file from http://wapt/wapt/waptagent.exe.
