I need to change the DX4000 server name to make it working with our standard workstation configurations. From dashboard I did not find any way to achieve this. Also accessing the Windows 2008 server with remote desktop and opening control panel / system it is not possible to change the server name as “certificate authentication” is installed. Same is true with windows powershell (Rename-Computer is not recognized)
You can’t change the server name and not break things, the server runs a Certificate Authority, and if you change the name it breaks the CA, if you need to rename it you will need to recover it. Plan to spend several hours to 1/2 day on that exercise.
Because…why would you want to rename your server? no one ever needs to do that.
