Hi All

What is the correct way to rename a client machine part of a domain?

Reason I ask is because, when I rename a machine on the network the machine
will still be reporting back using the old machinename for some application
or audit tools on the networks.
Does the registery have to also be ammended or is there a correct way this
is done in on step using a tool?

Thanks
 
Hello AP,

If you rename a machine, it will not change configurations from some software
settings, that are done during installation of the software. I think for
this you have either reinstall the software or find all registry keys or
ini files where are the settings stored.

Best regards
