Can I change the COMPUTER NAME of Windows Server ?

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the Computer Name of the Windows Server 2008, if Yes, what's the effect on all terminal profile on each station?
** We have many station that accessing some files thru pipe name ex: \\MyServer\Data\ hard coded on program public folders on server, but the newly installed server was named "MyServer2" can just rename it back to "MyServer" without problems
on client station? " ***
Thanks ^_^y

Yes. You can change the name.
You need to update all reference to new server name. You can try creating an Alias in DNS as a co-existence option.

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

Changing the Computer name with ARD

Hello, I am new to mac but I am now in charge of running a mac network or machines for an art department. I see that with ARD you cna change the computer name. If you change the computer name does it just change anything on the client machine? I just want to change the name in my All computers name so its easier to identify each users machine.

There are four User-fields that you can enter information into with ARD. What I've done in the past is put the primary user of a computer into one of those fields. That way the user doesn't appear in the machine name, but I can still easily access this information.
Note that if these computers are also in a Workgroup Manager group, that WGM will just change the name back on you. You would need to rename the computer through Workgroup Manager for this name change to take affect.

Changing the computer name in SAP R/3

Computer Name of the SAP R/3 server has been changed after the full installation of Oracle 9i and SAP R/3.
How to change the computer name after the SAP R/3 can start-up sucessfully?

Hi
it is not possible after installing R/3, you cannot change the host name , as per my understanding because when you install it generates a solution manager key based on host name SID and instance number.

Can I change the network name?

Can I change the network name on a newly set up Airport wireless network? I have just set up a new 3Gb Time Capsule and got so involved with trying to make it work that I just accepted the suggested name.

I have a 2Tb in process.
If this means that you are currently backing up data to the Time Capsule, let that process complete before you make any other changes.
I think I can see how to change the network password in 'Keychain'. Is that ok?
No, you change the wireless network password the same way that you would change the wireless network name....using the same window in AirPort Utility that is pictured above.
Simply Edit / backspace out the current password and enter the new password that you want to use. Do the same to Verify and then click Update to save the changes.

Can I change my computer name?

Hello all,
I just replaced my Power G5 with a Mac Pro, however, the computer name of the new Mac Pro is quite too long, therefore I am thinking to change it.
I have not set up the network connection yet with my other computers at home. Do I have any risk by changing the name?
Thank you in advance

You can change the computer name in the Sharing system preference. There should be no negative consequences.

How can I change my computer name

My work computer is named the previous person who had it who's not hear any more.
Now it says the name is: "his name - my name"
How can I change the name to just my name?
Thx,
Steven

Thanks Eric. I note a few differences though.
First there is no "Users & Groups" icon in the top level of System Prefs. However while exploring I found under "Sharing" you can change the computer's name there. One would think it's in Accounts, but it's not. I did add myself as an Admin when I first got here but that just appended my name with a hyphen to the previous employee name
So I changed Computer name to my name in the field in Sharing and then saw there's an Edit button. There you can change the lost hostname, whatever that is. I shouldn't do these things without knowing, I know, but I changed it but it doesn't allow spaces and adds hyphens. Since I have a Home comper, I named this work computer differently and hypens were added plus the suffix; .local.
There is a "Use dynamic global hostname checkbox which was unchecked so I left it that way. Do you know what the global hostname does and if I need to check it? What happens when you do?
Making the local hostname: my name-V1-Computer.Local, didn't change the Computer name field when you return to it. It still has the name I gave it before assigning the .local name.
But if I go into MM for example and then Advance to see which computers sync to MM, I see my home computer and work computer which is still named: previous emloyee's Computer - Steven Lastname (This Computer). So obviously the complete computer name hasn't changed.
The article you give above gets you to the Directory Utility in Utilities to change the Root info.
It says after open the lock icon: Enter an administrator account name and password, then click OK.
But the only thing to do in the main Directory Utility is: Add/configure a Directory server, again don't know what that does, but clicking it all you can do is set the drop down to: Open Directory or Active Directory, fill in the Server Name or IP Address field.
There are no fields for "enter admin account and pw" which I assume is me since I'm listed that way in Sys Prefs > Accounts, and the only Admin listed for this computer.
So I'm at an impasse. I don't see why this is all sy cryptic, but assume it's for security purposes. Well it's working. I can config my own computer
Am way of the beaten path? In a parallel universe? Or close?
Sorry for long email, but hopefully this will end up being a good tutorial for the next happless chap that can't rename his/her computer.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

How can I change the account name in iCloud. My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

I am unable to change the computer name.

I am unable to change the computer name of my MBP 9.1.
When I edit the computer's name in settings/sharing the name reverts to
the old name of Bill's MBP (2). I am attempting to delete the (2) portion of the name.
This along with a 27" iMac and a MBP 7.1 are networked wirelessly
through a older AP extreme. What am I doing wrong?

I finaly took the MBP to the Apple Store.
While waiting for the genius, I kept trying to
change the MBP's name in sharing. After trying
several things, control-enter worked. I have no idea why.
The reason I'm posting this is that the genius
reminded me that I could not be certain the change
took until I restarted the MBP. I hadn't seen this
important step before and some may not be aware of this.
I suppose this applies to any change made on your Mac.
