To easily move your Clients from one Site to another without losing facilities such as Remote Control:

  1. Add the boundaries of the clients affected to the new site.

  2. Wait for the clients to install to the new site (if you look in the 'Systems Management' applet in Control Panel, both the Site codes of the original site the Client is installed to and the new Site code you added in Step 1. should appear in the 'Sites' tab).

  3. Remote Control/ visit each client you want to move and from the 'Sites' tab of the 'Systems Management | Control Panel' applet, highlight the Site code of the Site you want to move the Client to and click the 'Move Up' button so it is at the top of the list.

  4. Once you've completed this on all of the Clients you want to move, remove the boundaries from the original Site. The Clients will notice that they no longer report to the original Site, but won't de-install themselves as they now belong to the new Site and the Site code for this is at the top of their 'Sites' list.  All that will happen is that the site code of the original Site will disappear from the 'Sites' tab in the 'Systems Management | Control Panel' applet.
