changing the computer name root

I want to change the computer name added to the initial setup of the computer. I tried several suggested solutions and none worked.

The easiest way to do what you want is to create another user with privileges to adminstrive account and name what you want.

Then copy all your data and configure it as you wish.

When you are satisfied, remove the original account.

  • Want to change the computer name of PC/crumbs to PC/CrystalDawn without reformatting or open new account

    Hi all!

    I hope someone can help me with this; I'm trying to change my computer name of PC/crumbs to PC/CrystalDawn without having to reformat or open a new account CrystalDawn and manually migrate thousands of items saved so far, as suggested by another user in this Forums MS 2009 post on my computer:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistaappearance/thread/88d24e9-C944-4DC8-86cd-6057ccfc04a2

    It seems a little silly that I have to go through so much trouble to make such a minor change and back.  If someone could explain if and why it must be so annoyingly difficult just make this small change, perhaps understanding would help me decide if I would go through with the whole rigamarole if it is really necessary.

    I guess my other question will be, is it really necessary?  The people at the other end of files displayed in a portal online or any other place see the ' PC/crumbs' or 'Documents/Crumbs/filename.doc' or do they see just "door"?  I'll keep it like that if it's only visible as of the crumbs in my computer, but since I work online and send files of professional document a lot, a lot, I certainly don't want will be called "crumbs".

    Any help would be appreciated because I don't have the $60,00 by every 10 minutes if I had to call Microsoft itself.

    If you want to rename your computer, here's how: http://www.ehow.com/how_5124750_change-computer-name-vista.html

    However, I think you mean you want to rename your account. You can do, but the record of account will be always called crumbs here:C:\Users and everything related to saving the files. The files will always be completely when you put them and nothing's wrong turn.

    If you download the file to a service such as skydrive, the file is stored on the server of the site and has nothing to do with your computer more (so they'll just see).

    I know it's annoying that you cannot rename the folder of the user himself. Maybe they'll fix it someday...

  • How to change the computer name of existing desktop computers linked clone pool?

    Hello

    I'm curious about something that has developed in our Organization.  New guidelines came down and we have to change the name of the computer for all of our offices to meet the new criteria.

    I have many of our users is on the offices of Linked-Clone (automated pool, dedicated, assignment see 5.1) which will have their names have been changed.  I use a 'model' for the name of the computer.

    I tried this before by simply change the settings of the pool, and then recompose the pool.  Recompose worked well, but NONE of the virtual machine names have been changed.  All machines, recomposed just fine, but keep the old name of the computer (non-compliant).

    How can I change the name of the computer of my clone in an existing pool offices?  Maybe I have something wrong.  I'm doing it instead of having to create a new pool and move the persistent disks.  I would like to change the name in the settings of the pool and recompose, but it did not work.

    Scenario:
    See 5.1

    Automated cloning related pool

    Assignment of dedicated (persistent disks)

    Thanks in advance

    It is not possible to change the name of existing workstations by modifying the settings of the pool. There is no way to make this happen automatically and in doing so manually would not seen happy.

    Unfortunately, for dedicated pools, you will have more work to do. If you do not use Persona you detach the persistent disks and recreate virtual machines in the pool with this disk to create a new virtual machine with a new name to be generated.

    If you use Persona you could remove all virtual machines and have Persona to extract profile data down to the virtual machine that would be entitled to the user when they connect then. This will cause all user installed programs go, but I hope that's not common if you are already using linked clones.

    I encourage to go to the next page, click on the feature request form link and publish information on what you're trying to do:

  • stop the warning to change the host name

    I continue to be careful:

    Your computer name is already in use on this network. the name has been changed...

    I click ok and keeps coming back with many more and will not stop!

    Thank you

    This is the share name that is duplicated on another device on the network, or the name of VICTORIES under the Ethernet settings. Both are in system preferences.

    Under network, click the network connection you are using (wired or wireless). Click the Advanced button, then the WINS tab change the NetBIOS name to something else. Click OK. If it is active, click on the button apply.

    If that doesn't help, click on the share icon. Change the computer name to something else. This is necessary, or even do anything if at least one of the options of sharing is checked.

    I changed the username on my laptop and it is not letting me log

    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point before you have changed the user name.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.

    It is a Windows 7 forum, not a Windows XP forum. But since the same
    answer works for both versions of Windows, it's here:

    If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned, the first thing I have with it would be to reinstall the operating system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
    which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
    There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.
    But if you just want to change the name of "registered to", you can do
    editing HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current
    Version\RegisteredOwner with Regedit.
