Hi there, i'm new to the group so excuse me if this isnt quite the correct
forum.

I have sucessfully changed all but one of our office machines to a more
meaningful name.

However, one one machine I get the following error:

Any information as to how to overcome this issue most appreciated.

Regards,

Chris.
 
Disconnect any mapped network drives or printers then try renaming the
computer again.

I have tried disconnecting mapped drives already, I didn't do the printers
though.

Will I have to delete the printers?

Thanks
 
Yes, you will. Anything that's mapped when you try to rename will result in
that error.
