Can Two ControlUp Deployments be Run on One Machine?
A user asked if two different ControlUp Deployments could be run on one machine. It is not possible, but when upgrading, the console, monitor, and agents can be updated separately. For a migration from an on-prem to a cloud environment, a registry key needs to be deleted. The Auth key and Organization key need to be cleared and set again. Alternatively, it is possible to keep the same org and change the mode to cloud.

A user was looking for a way to reboot a server after an Event Viewer error had triggered maintenance mode and logged out all users. It was suggested to use two triggers - the first would put the server into maintenance mode and set a registry key, and the second would check the registry key and if it was present, reboot the server.
