Windows 10: Hostname change causing serious issues

I just performed an elevated hostname change in Power Shell... After restarting the computer I noticed that my wireless network was down/not showing. Upon further investigation my issues are:

-> 80% of all my services were disabled

-> "The computer can't connect to a home group" error

-> No firewall access

-> No network

-> No system restore available even though I backed up pc a few days ago

Etc...

I am guessing that the hostname change threw my computer off and now it can't sync with any services?

I went into the services app, changed log on as, and enabled services to run again. Firewall is now working but I can't get home group, system recovery, or local network to work as well as many other features.

Is there a fix for this? Or do I have to reset my system?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Hostname wrong

No, that didn't work. I already had renamed the published bluetooth name. That has no effect on the device's hostname.



In order to rename the device use the command

hostname <newhostname>



to permanently change the hostname change the file /etc/hostname and reboot.



to gain access to the file use the root command. To get the root command install the rootsh package.

 

Hostname wrong

hostname, on a unix box, is absolutely local..

if I change the hostname on my workstation to wibblewobble no other machine on the network knows..

If I change the host identity on my DHCP client on my workstation other things might know..

I'm still not getting why you need to change the hostname..

What do you think won't work unless you don't do it?
