    Changing device names and deleting devices

    Yeah, you can't delete old/retired machines from the "my grid" page. The only option you have really is to wait a few days then change how it sorts the list:

    Oh, and Mike is correct, by changing the windows "computer name" it'll change on the "my grid" page.

  3. name changes??

    If you desire a name change please do the following:

    • Ask yourself if you really need a name change.
    • Make sure you have a good reason.
    • Know what you want your new name to be before you request a name change.
    • Send Urlyin a PM containing a decent explanation of your reason as well as your desired name.

    Changing device names and deleting devices

    You can't delete "retired" machines....there is some kind of "paper" trail they keep and the "old" devices are kept in archive.

    I think???you can change machine names by doing so in windows "computer name" and then it might change[can't remember for sure] if it doesn't do so...detach and do a remove/re install and it should change.
