Sorry I should have explained better.
The computer I am trying to do this on is in our office - and yes it is in the management console. However, I want to change the ini so that when it is off site it still appears. This computer, along with the rest of our computers (offsite or onsite) are unable to do this.
Sorry understood that, what I didn't is whether changing the address from the GUI, changes the address in the INI file.
It should as the value of the GUI is stored in the INI file.
Please do the following and report:
1. Open avast! UI > Settings > Troubleshooting.
2. Change the address and save the changes.
3. Open Settings > Troubleshooting and let us know if the address has changed to the one from step 2.
4. Open the avast5.ini and find the 'SBCServerName' setting under the 'Communication' section.
5. Let us know if the address has changed to the one from step 2.
