Change computer comments after machine is added to AMS

Thread needs solution

Dear all,

do you know a way how I can change the comment of the computer added to AMS. Usualy I have in the comment the name of the user using the computer. But unfortunately I have thanks to the AMS discovered that I have also several computers without comments. I would like to know where I can change te comment of this computer in AMS. Or to resynchronize it with the actual comment of the computer itself.

Thank you

Hello Petr Hoffmann,

Thank you for your question. I will be happy to assist you.

The comment field in the computer details, when you right click (or doubleclick) on the machine added to the Acronis Management Server->View details, shows the default Computer description which is done in Windows.

Right click on my computer->properties->computer name->computer description. If the field is empty, nothing will be shown in the comment section in the Acronis Management Server.

I am afraid there is no way to edit this field, however, I can suggest the following way to change it.

Change the computer description in Windows on the required machines. In the Acronis Management Server console, right click on the machine in question, select the option - Delete machine from AMS. Then, re-add the machine and the comment field will reflect the changes.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.

Hello Petr Hoffmann,

Thank you for getting back to us.

Yes, the comment field automatically copies what the Computer Description in Windows provides.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

Thank you.
