    Changing server computer name


    Hi, One of our server with Windows Server 2008 R2, the DC, is down and I am trying to find solutions to promote our second server with Windows Server 2019 to DC as well to change the server name to match the original DC as someone set up the main server in VMware without passing down the admin and root password or the password is lost. Is it safe to change the server name to match the DC and promote it to DC? Please help me as I can't find this answer

    :)

  2. change windows 10 pc name

    We appreciate you getting back to us. To change the cmd name, we suggest that you follow this steps:

    • Open a Command Prompt (Adimin) window: Win+X, A, Alt+Y
    • Then run the following command to change your computer name to Donner: WMIC ComputerSystem where Name=COMPUTER-NAME call Rename Name=NewName
    • Reboot your PC.
    • Try to run ipconfig / all command, you should find that the Host Name in Windows IP Configuration list has been changed to the new name.

    Keep us posted with the result.

  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.
