Redircmp based on the computer name

Hi Folks,
How can I move computers objects to a specific OU when joining to a domain, based on the initial letters before the -? As an example we have a naming convention that is like this: MLUK-ldake CVGBA-mrossi
Thanks,
Simon Rech
Junior System Engineer at Vitec Group plc

There is no built-in feature to do this, but,
you can pre-create the computer accounts in the desired OU,
you can stipulate the OU to create the comp acct in, at the time of joining,
you can create the comp acct in the default container/OU for your domain and move it after creation.
some of the methods will require advanced/custom coding/scripting, advanced/custom domain-join methods, and/or webservices.
what method are you using to perform the domain-join? are you using Windows setup? offline domjoin? MDT? ConfigMgr? WDS? Other?

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.

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

How to get the computer name in a text box automatically?

Hi,
I am using flash cs4 (AS3). How can I get the computer name/username in a text box created for grabbing Username from the computer and show it in the username textbox automatically?
Thanks.

You can't running a SWF on a webpage. Can you imagine if a SWF had access to that OS-level information? It breaches everything Flash, browsers and the web stands for, which is "not being an application", therefore it has absolutely no access to your computer. Especially information like your username.
If you're running a flash projector, that's different. Not that a projector can do that either, but projectors are applications and can be extended by things like MDM Zinc and ScreenTime mProjector. Going that route opens up the constraints on Flash Projectors and lets you tap into things like .dlls. Only via that route are you going to be able to get at such a low level item like the current logged on user.

Changing the Computer Name... when it's greyed out in the Sharing Prefs?

Okay, here's a weird one.
Using Carbon Copy Cloner 3, I recently cloned the hard drive on my iBook G4 (OS X 10.5.4)—it was dying and I needed to swap in a new one. I made the swap, using the cloned version of my old drive, and everything was wonderful.
The new drive is great. The only artifact of the change is that when I see my iBook on a network, instead of the original computer name (let's call it +David's iBook+ for argument's sake), I get +David's iBook_1+. When I go to the Sharing Preferences pane, in the field where I should get my good old iBook's name, I get that _1 tacked on again, and instead of being able to edit it, the name is greyed out!
The hostname is fine. I can edit that. But the computer name refuses to be changed by any of the normal methods. I could probably go into Terminal and edit the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfigurations/preferences.plist file. But I get the feeling that there's something else going on here.
Any thoughts?
(I'm now wishing I'd just restored using Time Machine. Old habits die hard.)

Thanks! I should have mentioned that I'd already tried that. Several times. There are no other computers with the same name as mine on either my home or office network.
I can click on the "Edit" button and change the name to "David.local" or whatever, and it'll stay that way—but it doesn't show up on the LAN. When I look for the computer over the network—either using Bonjour or the Apple-K command in the Finder—it shows up with its old name. If I try to connect with "David.local" (or whatever), I get an error saying the server can't be found.
Since posting, I've also tried logging in as the root user and changing it there. No dice.
I had to replace the hard drive (the reformatting that caused me to clone the disk in the first place turned out not to solve the problem, which was that the hard drive was failing); for a week I was using an external drive clone as the startup disk for my iMac. It let me change the name there just as it should have. No more +David's iBook_1+. Woohoo!
But when I copied the disk back onto my brand new internal drive... There it was again. Greyed out. Can't get at it.
Grrrrrr.
Again, it's not a big deal; I want to change the name so that it fits the naming convention at my office. But it's really bugging me! (Obviously.)
I suppose I could reinstall and migrate the accounts and apps over....

Changing the Computer Name

How do I change the name of the computer without doing a reinstall?
Back story - my dad had a iMac G3 that died on him after 10+ years. We were able to make the internal hard drive into an external and transfer all his files into a user account for him on my iMac G5. He was not set up as an admin, just a standard account but we did use Migration Assistant so he would still have all his preferences and such.
He recently bought a MacBook, white, and we used firewire transfer to transfer only his account to the MacBook. Everything transfered fine, no complaints.
But just now I was messing around with the MacBook and looked at Front Row and that's where I saw that his MacBook is labeled as my iMac G5.
So how do I change it from Blank Blank's iMac G5 to Blank Blank's MacBook?
The short name is fine since it's the same user account that he's had since his iMac G3, it's just the computer name.

Open Sharing preferences. Change it in the field labeled "Computer Name."

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.

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.

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 ).
Andre

There 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.

Event 31901 – The registry probe could not connect to the registry of the computer name

Hi, I have been doing a weekly SQL query to try and find any high number of events I get in my SCOM environment.
One of the events I have stumbled across is 31901 (“The registry probe could not connect to the registry of the computer <name>”) which comes from the “Collect Registry Probe Module Events”
I have read a couple of previous suggestions on the forum and upon checking I found two different scenarios. For a couple of servers I checked the health and it looked like they had RPC issues. A restart got rid of these problems.
However the ones left seem to have something in common. They relate to hosts referring to SQL “instances/clusters”. So the “logging computer” is the host and the probe cannot to the registry of the “virtual computer”. In other words the computers that can’t
be connected to are all agentless and show as managed by the logging computer under “Agentless Managed”
If I log onto the host with my SCOM action account and run something like “reg query” against the virtual “instance” I get “ERROR: The network path was not found”. I can ping the instance fine though. I don’t really understand how these instances work but
I presume they don’t have services or a registry as such. Therefore is this normal or is there any way I can get rid of the events? I don’t really want to get rid of the rule itself as it did help me find a couple of RPC issues. I could override for that host
if this is “normal” and how it should work.

Fetch the operating unit name based on the country name

Hi all,
I want to fetch the operating unit name based on the country name, there is no link between fnd_territories(_tl) and hr_all_organization_unis(_tl) tables.
Can any one know how to get this thing.
any help or idea is appreciable.
Thanks,
Giri

Giri,
I don't think you will find such a link. One country can be used by multiple operating units.
Hope this helps,

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?

In System Preferences- Sharing- Remote Management the address doesn't reflect the computer name.

Hi,
I have a dual boot system with two seperate hard drives, Lion and Snow Leopard. One drive has a name of mac-pro2 for Lion and mac-pro2sl for Snow Leopard. Something happened when I rebooted from Snow Leopard to Lion that in System Preferences->Sharing->Remote Management that the computer name had changed to the Snow Leopard computer name it has a address and name of mac-pro2sl. I have change the Computer Name: and it worked and was changed to mac-pro2 but Remote Management still has the address of mac-pro2sl and doesn't reflect the computer name. I can ssh into Lion with mac-pro2sl but I have a conflict with from other computers when I log in with a warning of "Remote Host Identification has Changed". How do you change the computer name for remote management and ssh?
I have changed the hostname and it reflects the change when you login, mac-pro2 for Lion. But when you ssh into Lion it requires mac-pro2sl not mac-pro2.
When I change the computer name it shows below that the name in "Remote Management: On" "computer using the address mac-pro2sl" is selected but then doesn't change but remains the same when the dialog closes. How do you change the address to reflect the computer name? Is there a command line utility?
Thanks for any help.

If this problem is due to DNS, look in your configuration. What is the number one DNS server address? Is it local, or is it on the Internet at large? Or post the Address here and folks can help you look it up.
192.168.yyy.zzz
10.xxx.yyy.zzz
172.xxx.yyy.zzz
are all strictly local.
