Updating IIS After You Change the Computer Name (234142)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q234142 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SUMMARY
When you change the name of the computer that Internet Information Server (IIS) is installed on, most IIS functionality continues to work properly without any intervention; however, the following functions of IIS need to be updated:
- The Internet Information Server snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
- Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) packages that run in a separate memory space (isolated process).
This article explains how to make the MMC and isolated process MTS packages perform properly after the computer has been renamed. Note: This article does not cover the scenario of having Site Server 3.0 installed. Changing the name of a computer with Site Server installed creates a non-supportable environment. If the computer is renamed, full functionality may only be restored by restoring the OS to its previous configuration from backup. Limited functionality is possible; however, this configuration is not supported.
