Problem Overview
Modifying or Repairing OnGuard
If you choose to repair OnGuard you will need to reset your DSN name, license server name, and any other custom setting made to the ACS.INI file and/or application.config file. You should back up the ACS.INI file and/or application.config file before doing any maintenance.
If you are using the repair option when re-installing OnGuard where either the Application Server or Database Setup features have been installed then you will receive a warning telling you to back up specific system files. These files are listed in the warning message and will be different for each installation. Make sure to back up these files or you will lose critical system information located within the files.
