atravesde Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello we have more than 200 retrospect clients, and new corporate policies must be implemented, one of them is to change all netbios computer name, if i change via active directory all the computer name order by phisical location owner and type of pc like this example "build1-joe-pc" what is the procedure to refresh the new names on the retrospect database client description.

Mayoff Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 How did you login the clients? Did you use subnet broadcast or multicast? If so, you probably don't need to make any Retrospect changes in order to continue doing backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atravesde Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) the clients were loged-in in multicast mode, What i need to do is reflect the same netbios name recently aplied to all the computers via Active Directory, to my retrospect database. i mean that when retrospect was installed at the firt time, the computer were added automatically because i used private-public key procedure. do i need to delete all the of them in the retrospect database? do i need to reinstall all the retrospect client after the new netbios name was set? why if i change manually the name of computer in retrospect, after delete the client in the retrospect database, in a few minuts the same name is added again. and the new netbios previosly set by active directory never is showed up Thank you Maynor Edited January 14, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayoff Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Client names can be changed by going to Configure>Clients>Client Properties>Options Tab. Then click Rename. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
