setservername(8)
NAME
setservername - Changes the name of an ASU PDC, BDC, or member server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/setservername [-n newname[-p password-a administrator] [-s]]
OPTIONS
-n newname
The new server name.
-p password
The password for the administrative account.
-a administrator
The name of the administrative account.
-s Prevents the server from starting automatically.
DESCRIPTION
You use the setservername command to change the name of an ASU server. The
setservername command is an interactive command, but it also accepts
command line arguments.
If an error occurs during processing or if you interrupt the setservername
command, the original server name is restored.
If you are changing the name of a BDC or a member server, the PDC must be
running on the network and you must supply the name of an existing domain
administrative account and password if a computer account with the new
server name does not exist. You must provide administrative account
information because the setservername command must connect to the PDC,
create the new computer account, and remove the old computer account.
If a computer account exists with the new server name, you are not prompted
for an administrative account and password and the setservername command
does not remove the old computer account.
You must be logged in as root to use the setservername command.
EXAMPLES
If a server is a BDC named sales_bdc in the domain sales, and you want to
rename the BDC to sales2, you can use either the setservername command and
respond to prompts, or you can enter the following command:
# setservername -n sales2 -p pass1 -a admin1 -s
