All in a registered computer name

How do I rename the registered computer names on my iSync account? Thanks for the help.

I don't see any easy way to do that. My advice:
On the computer you want to "rename":
1) do a .Mac sync (so you are sure .Mac is totally in sync with the computer)
2) unregister computer
3) re-register computer
4) sync with .Mac again and always choose to replace data on computer with data on .Mac
Note that your request makes sense so don't forget to file some feedback to Apple.

Computer name in R3 when call function RFC from CRM to R3

Hi all,
i nead the computer name in R3 when I come to R3 from CRM .
In R3 i call function 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' in R3   but I don't retrieve the computer name.
i tried also to call function 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' in destination 'CRM'   but I don't retrieve the computer name.
The code in R3:
CALL FUNCTION 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' DESTINATION 'R3GETCRM'
      EXPORTING
        username             = sy-uname
      IMPORTING
        terminal             = l_terminal_usr41
      EXCEPTIONS
        multiple_terminal_id = 1
        no_terminal_found    = 2
        OTHERS               = 3.
This function works ok when i call her direct from R3 or direct from CRM,
but not give me in R3 the computer name when i came to R3 From CRM.
Thanks for your cooperation.
dany

thats because 'TERMINAL_ID_GET' is not a RFC (check the attributes tab of the FM from SE37)
if you dont find a RFC to do t his you can wrap this FM with a custom RFC and use it.
if you want all the logged on users info (computer name and other info) then you can use THUSRINFO FM which a RFC

Computer Name changed to MINWINPC

We have about 200 computers that show their computer name as "MINWINPC". Doing an "ipconfig /all" shows the original computer name but doing a "net user" shows the computer name as "MINWINPC". In the control panel applet - the original computer shows but
the registry key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName shows as "MINWINPC". Users can still access the network but administrators are unable to remotely access those machines. The fix appears to be as simple as changing the registry
key back to the original computer name(and rebooting) but I would like to figure out what is causing the issue. Some of the machines seem to have the name change occur after they have received the latest round of patches from Microsoft after the reboot.
It is not happening to all our Vista machines. I have changed the computer name back the original, uninstalled all updates from the day of the name change and resintalled the patches but have been unsuccessful in recreating the problem. Any thoughts?

I know this is an old thread but a new patch is causing the same issue MS13-098. The only Microsoft submission I have found is in Japanese and is translated as follows:

Computer name ? In screen saver

Hi ALL,
Why is my computer name in screen saver called iMac-from.local
Can I change that?
Dimaxum

The Computer Name is set in Sharing preferences so check that. Your computer's name is technically going to consist of the extension ".local." Perhaps this is a issue with the particular screensaver.

With Apple Remote Desktop How can I change all the computer names

After a re-imaging session?. I would like to not have to visit each station and manually change the computer name.
Is this at all possible using ARD?

Hi
I don't use DeployStudio and know nothing about it. In terms of simply changing the names? Yes. Clearly not in the same way. You could use what's built-in on OSX Server if you have it? System Image Utility allows creation of nbis with an associated workflow that can define workstation names from a pre-prepared list of MAC Addresses and desired names as a Post-Install Action.
This is fairly well-documented in the Server Forum and elsewhere.
HTH?

Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.

If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
They might be fixable but I do not know how.

When we got our computer it all ready had 2 user names on it Administrator and Teacher and we dont know the passwords for them.

Assuming you have been able to set yourself up as an Administrator so far, you can just go into Applications>System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the other three accounts by highlighting them one at a time in the left hand column and clicking the "Minus" symbol at the bottom of the column.
If you have NOT been able to set yourself up as an Administrator also so far, then the following article should help:

List all computer names on network

Our former router would display: computer name, IP address, and MAC address. Here, you can see that our "new and improved" router (issued by our benevolent ISP) only displays IP and MAC. I was just wondering if there were any ways for me to display computer names to better assess if any unauthorized users are leeching onto our network.
One quasi-solution was the command:
sudo nbtscan -r 192.168.0.1/24
However, it only shows Windows client names, and only some of the time (for instance, it isn't displaying a roommate's laptop name, even though his laptop is online and running Windows).

ewaller wrote:Have you looked at Avahi?
This may just prove to be the philosopher's stone for which I've sought However, when I run the command to view network hosts, it only displays one, my roommate's Chromecast, and just kinda idles on that (I've redacted the username and IP):
root@Sera:~# avahi-browse -alr
+ eth0 IPv4 Username Chromecast _googlecast._tcp local
= eth0 IPv4 Username Chromecast _googlecast._tcp local
hostname = [Username\032Chromecast.local]
address = [192.168.x.xx]
port = [8009]
txt = ["ic=/setup/icon.png" "md=Chromecast" "ve=02" "id=ed346d0f9965c73d2328545b8f55166e"]
EDIT: I seemed to have missed the part about avahi-browse detecting computers with Avahi installed :\ So, that might explain why most of the computers on the network aren't showing up -- although it doesn't explain why Chromecast shows up.
Here's a screenshot of our old router, which shows the names of connected users. I'd think it wouldn't be so hard to implement this on a 'newer' router.

Computer name and local hostname not recognized at startup

I've been having trouble syncing with .mac lately. (This isn't syncing question.) Looking at my console and system logs, it would appear that my computer and network connection have a problem right from the start (except that I can connect to the Internet and can send and receive mail no problem). But I think the logs below indicate that there's some disconnect because later on, when I try to sync or do something with iDisk, "Failed to register NSConnection" and SFIDiskMirrorCopyPair returned NULL" appear in the console log. Here's some of what the logs showed. I was wondering if anyone out there can make heads or tails out of it. Wondering if I'll have to blow it up and do an archive and install.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you for helping me. My computer is very old and it gets a lot of non-taxing use, like email and word processing. I'm trying to get another year out of it before I replace it. I first had to reset the PRAM because I had full-on freeze a couple of months ago. I couldn't get the computer to respond at all. Apple Support helped. They had me reset the PRAM, but the reason I've been resetting it now and again is that it seemed to fix a problem I was having with audio. When I am using Skype, Facetime or Gchat there was a crackling sound so loud, I'd have to hang up. Resetting the PRAM seemed to take care of this. I read around a little on the Internet. There was some suggestion that maybe my logic board is failing, at which point I would really have to replace my computer. But I was hoping for some pointers about this keyboard. I spent a couple of days reading and didn't find anyone having quite my problem. I guess it wouldn't really be such a problem if I didn't have this audio problem as well.

Software Inventory Reporting with computer name on SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I am just trying to use "Count of all instances of software registered with Add or Remove Programs" from SCCM 2012 Report modules but its giving with collection id only ..
as i am trying to include in this with computername instead of Collection id but i am unable to get that.
is any one help me to get the list of software's name with counts inclusive of computernames
KJSUBBU

The issue with your request is that the COUNT statement gives numbers of distinct values.
For example, you wish to count all instances of "Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus" - That program name is a distinct value and there may be 50 instances in your environment.
BUT, when you add the computer name to this - e.g. MACHINENAME "Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus" you will always count 1 for each value and the query will yield 50 rows, because each machine name is a distinct value, despite
there being many instances of Office... the COUNT statement checks all values in the SELECT statement as part of the distinct value.
Here is an example:
SELECT
v_GS_SYSTEM.Name0,
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0,
COUNT(*) AS Qty
FROM
v_GS_SYSTEM
INNER JOIN
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS ON v_GS_SYSTEM.ResourceID = v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID
WHERE
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0 = 'Google Chrome'
GROUP BY
v_GS_SYSTEM.Name0,
v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0
Will yield the following results:
Name0             DisplayName0     Qty
TSTWIN7-01     Google Chrome    1
TSTWIN8-01     Google Chrome    1
I agree with Garth's post that you need to gather mgmt.'s requirements for this data first. If they are wanting reports which show counts of software, AND where that software is installed, you will need two separate reports: 1) summary
report of counts and 2) drill-down from the summary showing where a specific piece of software is installed.
Report for 1) is canned - "Count all instances of software registered in Add or Remove Programs"
Report for 2) is also canned - "Computers with specific software registered in Add Remove Programs"
The second report is a drill-down from the first when you click on the software Display Name link in the report.
I imagine that your company is looking to checking license counts and that if you ask further, you will find the specific software for which they are searching. This will also be a good exercise for you to become familiar with the auditing process
for annual true-ups, if you have not gone through this before.

OSD Computer Name

I have seen quite a few posts here about setting the computer name by prompting the user and/or using the MDT. My goal is to do bare-metal, "unknown" builds that assign the computer name to be the serial number from the BIOS. All our machines are Dell. I would like to not have to integrate the MDT if possible, but if the MDT is the only way to do it, so be it.
Thanks in advance.

View front panel by going to a registered domain name

Hi all,
I have a registered domain name, say, www.frontpanel.com
By configuring a router, I can now view a running LabVIEW front panel within campus by going to 128.200.xxx.xxx/frontpanel.html, my questoin is, how can I view the frontpanel from outside of our campus. Say, I have a registered domain name as shown above.
The LabVIEW is version 2012, and the system is Windows 7.
Thanks for any help,
-Chen

This has nothing to do with LabVIEW but...
You need the network to be configured to allow external requests to the PC and to set up the domain name to point to the external IP address of the computer.
If it were a home network, you'd configure your router/modem to forward requests on the ports required (port forwarding port 80 for the frontpanel.html and any ports that Remote Front Panels needs) from the internet to the PC that is running the Remote Front Panel VI.
For the domain name to work, you need to configure it's DNS settings to point to the external IP address as above. If it's a static IP address then that's pretty easy to just put in the IP address but if it's dynamic then you need to use a dynamic DNS service (e.g. dyndns).
If you're on a Campus network, you'd have to go through / talk to their IT department and I'd be very surprised if they allowed that to happen.

File sharing afp:// address not computer name

Just setting up my new iMac and the file sharing afp:// address does not match the computer's name (Brute Squad), it's pulled in my old PowerBook's name (Alumen). I'm assuming it came from my Apple/iCloud account since that was the only computer I had registered when I set the iMac up. Restarting didn't help. Any ideas?

You can change the computer name in the System Preferences > Sharing pane, change the name at the top.
Best of luck.

How to change the computer name

I need to change the computer name but after this I cannot access to the historical data (printing alarms).
I have already changed the settings in Options->System and restarted the system.
With MAX 3.0 I can see that all the alarm records are stored with the old computer name \\computer name\process\....
How can I do to read the old alarms with the new computer name?
Thank you
Michael

Hi,
When you change the computer name in Options>>System, you are not changing the name of the computer. Rather, you are telling Lookout to log to either a remote or local system. Here are the specifics:
1. Computer Name: Name you want the traces to appear with (\\computer_name\process\...)
2. Default Computer: Computer you want to log to. If the name listed here is different than your computer's name (as seen by Windows), then it will attempt to log directly to that remote machine.
3. Default Path: Directory on either your local or remote machine that you want to log to.
To change the name of your local computer, you will need to do that in Windows. If you have WinXP, you can do this by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Computer Name.
Go
od Luck
Mike
