Question: Exporting NDI between computers

Ok, I have a question, but first, let me describe what I am trying to do:
1) I need to record a virtual play (a school production)using Skype, with each participants camera as an individual source in OBS. I have downloaded and installed the NDI Plugin, and have that running.
2) I will be doing the actual recording on my home PC (better system/setup)
3) I recently took time in rehearsal to get most of my cast members set up with Skype accounts, and pulled their cameras into OBS as individual NDI sources, using my school computer. I even added myself as a test source, using a personal Skype account.
4) I exported the scene I created at school and imported it at home.
5) After importing the scene, none of the sources would work. I had a static image source (it was looking for the file on the school computer, oops), and my personal Skype account running. OBS was looking for the Skype account THROUGH the at school computer, not the personal at home computer.

My question: Is there a way to actually export this scene/these sources from the School PC to the Home PC and have them "just work," or do I have to redo all the inputs at home, so the Home PC OBS knows where to look for each source? (I have attached a screenshot of the properties window from my School PC, showing what OBS sees as the source for my personal Skype account)

If I have to redo everything, then I have to redo everything. At least this time I have a better idea what I'm doing. But if there is a simple-ish way to avoid redoing everything, that would be awesome. Thank you all.

I can't answer as to specifics of settings, as I've not dealt with this.
However, I can tell you the settings export is just a text file. Once you learn the adjustments necessary, you could simply use a script or other approach to automate editing the settings file with the changes before importing on home PC

Once I get home, I will be testing that out. The find and replace tool will earn its dinner tonight. Thank you very much.
