Windows 10: Host Name Change for clients with CMD from AD

Hello World,

I'm facing a issue to change hostname from my AD for my clients.

Tried sample:

1) netdom renamecomputer oldName /newname:newName /uDOMAIN\USER /passwordD:credential /force

Output: 'netdom' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.


Can anyone give me other solutions?

RDC Host and Client Understanding


Hi Hibs, welcome to the Ten Forums.

In Remote Desktop Connection, the Remote Host is the computer or virtual machine you connect to, and the Remote Client is the computer or virtual machine you use to connect to that Remote Host.

This is where the terms used get really complicated:
Your Windows 10 computer is when speaking about virtualization the virtualization host. The Windows XP Hyper-V virtual machine on your Windows 10 host is the virtualization guest. In other words, you are running a Windows XP guest on your Windows 10 host.

That's the virtualization, virtual host and guest. The Remote Desktop steps in and totally confuses you now with new terms: For Remote Desktop, when trying to connect from your Windows 10 virtual host to your virtual Windows XP guest, the terms are totally different. Now your virtual host Windows 10 is called a client, and your virtual guest Windows XP is called a host.

Let's try to clarify this:

• In virtual computing:
  • HOST = The main computer running a virtualization program or hypervisor, for instance Hyper-V
  • GUEST = the virtual machine on the above mentioned Host
• In Remote Desktop:
  • HOST = The computer or virtual machine you will connect to using a Remote Desktop Connection
  • CLIENT = The computer you use to connect to another computer or virtual machine

In your case now you cannot do what you want to. Your virtual Guest Windows XP is a Home edition which cannot be used as a Remote Host. A Remote Host must be Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista Business, Ultimate or Enterprise, Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise, Windows 8 / 8.1 Pro or Enterprise, or Windows 10 Pro, Education or Enterprise Edition.

You cannot connect to (read = these editions cannot be remote hosts) Windows XP Home, Windows Vista Home Starter, Basic & Premium, Windows 7 Starter, Hoime Basic / Premium, Windows 8 & 8.1, or Windows 10 with Remote Desktop Connection.

In your case the only two alternatives are:

1. Get a Windows XP Professional license
2. USe a third party remote desktop application to connect to Windows XP Home. TeamViewer is my recommendation (using a third party remote app, the audio will never be enough for you to work with audio files but you can of course try)
