How to run multiple instances of the Endpoint Manager on the same PC

applies to Reboot Restore Enterprise/Pro & RollBack Rx Pro

NOTE: This is a legacy guide for older versions and for mix deployments of Reboot Restore and RollBack.

Newer Endpoint Manager versions will generally be able to see older client version (from version 11 and up) 

If you have a mix deployment of versions of Reboot Restore and RollBack Rx, you may find that having two instances of the Endpoint Manager open at the same time may be beneficial. 

Make sure you follow the steps as carefully as possible, it does require some minor adjustments using the Registry Editor (regedit) 

- Uninstall all instances of the Endpoint Manager

- Run the installer for the different  (preferably an older build) EPM/RMC and during installation, make sure you create a separate setup directory and not the default, for example, install into a folder called EPM1.

- Launch the program once, then exit.

- Go into services, find and stop the RMserver service.

- Now find the EPM1 folder, open the Settings.ini file with Notepad and add the line below at the bottom
  
[RmServer]
port=9001 (or whichever port number is available) 

- Now go into regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RmServer

- Select DisplayName and rename the default RmServer to whichever, for this example we'll call it RmServer1

Run the Endpoint Manager/RMC now and it should work.

Now for the second instance, you follow the same steps (using a different build), just remember to change the directory again as they should be separate.

NOTE: You could change your 10.X RMC to 9001 and when you run the endpoint manager you don't have to run through this entire process again since the default should still be different to the one you set up. (directory still need to be changed)
