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.

  • 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 domain name on the host target

    Hello!

    I need to spend a couple of machines in a new area.

    Is it possible to change the field to a GC host or what I need to remove and add?

    / R

    Unfortunately, there is no good way to change the host name.   You can change the display name with EMCLI change the target, but below would be inaccurate, because it would still be the old domain.   Can you create a DNS alias so that it can still be used with the old domain?   Otherwise, delete and rediscover is the only way that I can see.

    You can use this to remove and readd without reinstallation:

  • How to change the user name in windows 7 Professional?

    I recently installed windows 7 Professional and by chance I typed my user name and the computer when it prompted me to type it in. When I had typed the wrong characters in and click on 'Next', he wouldn't let me go back and change it, so I was stuck with an unwanted user/computer name. I managed to change the name of the computer for the word you want, but I didn't always know how to change my username.

    I went to user accounts, and there was an option to change the name of the account, so I did.
    However, none of my directories has changed its name, and all processes in the Task Manager were still running under the same previous user name, which I did not want it to be.

    Is there a way to change the username of an account so it affects all the directories, files, folders, etc. without creating a new account with that name? Or, if possible, copy all the files and preferences of the current account to another account with this name?

    Any help is appreciated.

    You cannot change a user account by changing just the name. Simply by changing the name will do a cosmetic change only and does not affect the underlying files/folders in the profile.

    1. from an account with administrator privileges, go to control panel > user accounts and to create the new user account named Standard the way you want to and at least one additional administrator account. Call the last 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar.
    2 log in to the new Standard user account once if the profile of the files/folders are created and then connect to CompAdmin.
    3. now go to control panel > system > advanced > user profile > settings
    4. you will see where you can copy user accounts. Copy the old account to the new from there. Use her browse to select your new account (C:\Users\newaccount).
    5 log in to the new account correctly named and make sure all your stuff is here and it works as you want. When you are satisfied, you can log on and CompAdmin and remove the old account from the control panel > user accounts.

    If you want to access your account again, it is corrected automatically, follow these steps:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    General recommendations for the establishment of user accounts

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is an OS multi-user with integrated system of accounts such as administrator, by default, all users invited. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrative privileges on Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it will take third-party tools and work outside the operating system.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this by following the instructions written in the first part of this post.

    Hello

    The fact is that the username will be created at the beginning of the installation of the OS.
    It comes to you account on the laptop.
    Each user account includes the folder my documents.
    In this case, you cannot change the user account if you have a single user profile on the laptop. The title of the user accounts, you can create additional user with different names.

    The other possibility would be to change the download source. But that you change somewhere in the program settings. Unfortunately, this program is unclear to me. In this case, I can give t you information where you will find this option.
