Subject: [VOPmail Beta] OT: change
computer name in Win2K
Greetings:
We
have just successfully migrated ModusMail to a new server. All went well
in the migration, but I'm working on a few "clean-up" items that have me
stumped.
We
are running Win2K.
My
old server was named "VOPMAIL". I installed the OS on the new server and
gave it the name "VOPMAIL2".
After the migration, I renamed the original server (was VOPMAIL) to
"VOPMAIL1". Life is good.
Next, I attempted to rename the new server (was VOPMAIL2) to "VOPMAIL",
but I get an error message indicating the account already
exists.
Each
of these servers are members of a domain and neither are the
PDC.
The
new server is completely functional sending and receiving mail and that makes
life real good. While the name change may appear cosmetic, it has
changed the name of the server in message headers which has fouled up some
customers that are routing or trashing messages based on "received
from" rules sets.
Is
anyone aware of a procedure to reuse a machine name within a
domain?
Thanks,
Bill
