## Run the RINewGUID Tool

Sometimes a client can fall out of sync with the server. The RINewGUID tool forces the client to re-register itself as a new workstation, creating a new GUID and exchanges keys with server. Be sure to save all work before doing this process as it requires a restart.

1. Open the client Registry Editor and navigate to `HKLM\Software\Foray`.
2. Verify the "ServiceURL" value is correct.
3. Open an elevated command prompt on the client.
4. Run the following command:

```
"C:\Program Files\2FA\One\Client\tools\RINewGuid.exe" && shutdown /r /f /t 0
```
