Click to expand...

Maybe this will help you:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net config server /srvcomment:"Julien's PC"
 
A few of ways to do this:

From the command line
1.) net config server /srvcomment:"string"
(not recommended as setting this from the command line turns off auto tuning
for the server service.)

2.) Right-click My Computer, "Manage", right-click "Computer
Management(local)", Properties|Network Identification|Description

3.) Server Manager (in the resource kit)

4.) Edit the registry directly.
Add a Reg_Sz string named "srvcomment" with the desired string as the data
to;
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
