Considerations for changing the machine(computer) name
We would like to change the machine name(computer name) which is installed Essbase.
What steps needed before doing so? I know that Hyperion Configuration using computer name instead of localhost for setup the whole environment.
Thanks in advance,
Roger
I think that I remember (how's that for a qualification) that the server name is embedded in the essbase.sec file.
You could: stop Essbase, delete the essbase.sec file, rename the computer, start Essbase up as a windowed application (assuming you're in Windows), and re-register.
I have successfully moved Essbase.sec files between servers but the servers had the same computer name.

How do I change the host computer name?
Hello everyone...
I completely uninstalled 9iAS.
Restarted
Renamed Computer
Restarted
Reinstalled 9iAS without incident.
But...9iAS is still picking up the old computer name and I can't start any services.
I thought I did a complete uninstall:
Uninstalled with universal installer
Removed registry entries
Deleted all assoc. folders.
I don't mind reinstalling if I have to, but what did I miss?
Can anyone help me with this, we're at a standstill?
Thanks.
Lesley.I forgot to change the stupid hosts file.

Please refer the above code, it might help you to understand what i m trying to do. I have also included some code that is in comments which I tried by referring the links given by other users but its nt working.

How to change the machine name for the admin server?
Hi, I've incorrectly set the machine name for my admin server. I now need to change this, but it's not editable (WLS 10.3.3).
Is there a way to edit configuration files to get it changed?
Thanks
JasonSeems all I needed to do was edit config/config.xml (under my domain's path) and change the machine name manually (before shutting the admin server down).

I traded for a mac; how can I change the home folder name?
Well I traded a PC for my first iMac and well...... I love it.
1. I'm running into a little problem though; I can't seem to change the home folder name to my name. Although I know it doesn't affect any of the operation of the system or my settings, it psychologically upsets me.
2. Also, is there a way to assign my Apple ID to the computer or does that not matter either?
3. I also see a little lag when trying to connect to the web, but once I do get on it seems pretty beefy, any suggestable reasons?
4. And the final question, did I make the right decision? I traded a Sony Vaio S series tablet (laptop/PC) with an Intel core i5 @ 2.30ghz for an iMac with an Intel Duo Core processor @ 3.06ghz. I've heard the numbers don't really matter but some clarification would help.Trying to address some of your questions:
You state you are running Mountain Lion? Was that the original OS on the Mac? That is very important because:
a) if it was, the seller/trader needed to transfer the Mountain Lion license to you or it will stay with his Apple ID;
b) if he purchased ML, he is required to uninstall it before selling the machine because the license is not transferable, which means - again - that it is tied to his Apple ID (along with the machine ID).
Both/either can present some problems for you since ML is now tied to someone else's Apple ID. If you manage to "introduce" your Apple ID, it will no longer match the records MAS (Mac App Store) has, so updates or other purchases may present problems.
I would suggest that you either call Apple or book an appointment at the nearest Genius Bar and ask them how to proceed - that way you may be able to set up your own Apple ID on the machine as well as get ML registered as yours (although, as explained above, they may require you to purchase it for yourself).
Whether or not you made the right decision - well, I've never owned a Windows machine, so I can't answer your question since I have nothing to compare it with. Obviously, I use Macs...... you should be able to run your own test: just do what you normally do and see if it appears to take about the same time, is faster, or is slower. -
Dynamic DNS updates and issues with re-imaged / replaced machines with the same computer name
Our AD team gets asked frequently to delete bad DNS entries because a computer was replaced or VDI was re-created, and when it was joined to the domain it had the same computer name but different SID, so the DNS entry for that computer can no longer be updated
to a new IP address because the new computer doesn't have rights to update that object in DNS.
I recently saw a resolution to this was to set the security for DNS to allow updates from "Domain Computers" as described in the KB below.
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005210
Has anyone done this? Any negative implications from this?
ThanksGranting all domain computers write access to all records in the dns zone does solve the problem. On the negative side, DNS security is reduced significantly. For example, any user with admin rights locally on his/her computer will be able to sabotage
services in your domain by deleting or changing host records of domain controllers, servers or other client computers.
A more secure solution in this case will be configuring DHCP servers to update DNS on behalf of the client and granting DHCP servers appropriate access to DNS zone. Take a look at
Configuring Secure Dynamic Update for more info.

Hello everyone,
I recently bummed into an error message when I want to deploy a service template.
Setup:
1 HyperV server on win2k12 r2
1 SCCM VMM 2k12r2 on the hyperv server
1 template with all the objects in the library
Error:
When I deploy the the service template I get the below error message.
22591
The specified computer name (%ComputerName;) is already in use by another virtual machine or by a virtual machine configuration object.
Ensure that the computer name is unique in the VMM environment, and then try again.
The issue is that I can't find it anywhere, not on my domain controller not on my dns server as a record and also not as a vm in sccm or in powershell when doing get-vm. So where do I need to remove it ( no it is not an option to create a new Hostname for
this service template ).
AndreThere could be a couple things happening.
One - you have a Service Template, it defines %Computername% as a variable. And you have deployed this Template once using 'foo' and you are deploying it again as 'foo' without deleting the previous instance.
Two - you hardcoded the computer name into the template.
Three - you are scaling out and you have hit the bug that the wizard does not increment the machinename if you have something like computername## where SCVMM should be incrementing the machine name.
Windows does not support identically named machines (you can't have two machines on the same network with the same computer name - they broadcast their name and the 'second' one shuts down its network stack). In support of this SCVMM also enforces
this rule.
And with any templates SCVMM is in charge of machine names at deployment.

Is there a GPO that can allow me to enable the My Computer icon on my Windows 7 SP1 Pro clients, as well as automatically renaming it from 'My Computer' to the actual hostname of the machine?
Even in Windows 7, there still isn’t a Group Policy setting that will let you add the ‘My Computer’ icon to the desktop (unless you forcibly change the Start Menu to Classic) and then change the name from My Computer to anything else. I am very
surprised this isn’t a setting but we can still modify the registry to achieve this (either inside a GPO or with a script):
To show the ‘My Computer’ icon on the desk"text-decoration:underline;">
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
Name = {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Type =REG_DWORD
Value = 0
To change the ‘My Computer’ icon to computer or user name:
[HKCR\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}]
Name = LocalizedString
Type = REG_EXPAND_SZ
Data value = %computername% or any combination you like – eg %username% %computername%
Don’t forget you will need to change the permissions / ownership on this registry key so that you can change it – by default even Administrators cannot modify it.
These both apply to Windows XP and 7 and Windows Server 2003 and 2008.

How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?
how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail. -
How do I change the artist/owner name for my podcast?
How do I change the artist/owner name for my podcast?
For eg, a podcast has 'The Ricky Gervais Podcast' and underneath 'Ricky Gervais'. I can't see where to change the latter. I can't change that through our podcast host Libsyn.
Is it done through iTunes?
JackYou can't change anything in iTunes: all infomation is carried in the feed, in this case in the 'itunes:author' tag. there will certainly be somewhere to enter it but if you can't find it you will need to contacts Libsyn; or quite possible Rob Walch, who works for them and posts here, will see this question.

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. -
I followed the directions posted in questions/answers for changing the name of my iPad and it changed the name in iTunes but not on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad too?
On your iPad, go to settings, general, about and click on name then change it.
I did it on my iPad with iOS 5, i dont know if it works on iOS 4.3.2 -

I had to change the computer I have iTunes installed on, my iPhone is still looking for the old computer to sync over WiFi. How do I change the WiFi computer associated to my iPhone?
Hi Terri571,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
Best,

The Exchange Management Shell fails to connect in Exchange 2013 environment, this is a DAG environment and previously it indicates another error message, which is in my another thread. We fixed that error by delete the retired proxy entry in the server registry,

Thanks for your analyst and reply, I run the command as you suggested and checked accordingly to Task Manager, but seems none of them indicates a firewall or anti-virus.
