Change Computer Name

Thread needs solution

When we change the computer name does it necessary to delete and again the machine?

Or is there another way for us not to delete and add again the machine?

Thank you!

Hi,

If the hostname of a machine running Acronis Backup agents (Agent for Windows/Linux/etc.) is changed then there is no need to re-connect them to the Acronis Backup Management Server - the name will be updated in the web console interface automatically (sometimes you'll need to refresh the cache in web console via F5).

Note however that if you change the hostname of machine running the Acronis Backup Management Server itself, then the situation would become more tricky, especially if the agents were communicating with the management server using its hostname (there is corresponding option when you register the agents to allow them to connect by IP or by hostname) - in this case re-registration will be required.

Thank you.
