How to change the name of the computer?

Received an old computer, A Compaq Presario. I am disabled. On the line through WOW. Impossible to get some things works because the old user name is on it.

Thank you

A used computer can be equipped with a truck lot of problems (that is why it is a good idea to do a clean install of Windows and start over), but I doubt that the computer name is one of them.

Nevertheless,.

  1. Right click on my computer, then select Properties
  2. Click the computer name tab
  3. Click the button change

If you're talking about information "registered to" located on the "General tab" in the same my computer > Properties dialog box, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310441

  • 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.

  • How to change the computer information

    Hello

    I'm looking how to change, via the terminal, the 4 fields named info 1 and 2 info, info 3 info 4 in the "system preferences/sharing/remote management / computer settings button.

    These fields are displayed in the ARD and ARD reports and are very useful to sort the computers when you have a large number of them.

    PS: Since the upgrade to El Capitan when I try to change these settings through ADR, ARD crashes whenever I try to send the command to make this change on a remote computer.

    Probably more useful for you, but fashioned I would answer.

    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.

  • How 2 change the name of image, including its .xmp file?

    How 2 change the name of image, including its .xmp file?

    I suppose that if I change image file name, the file '.xmp' that accompanies it will no longer an appropriate reference to associate. Also, I guess I can just simply change the name of the image file and give its eponymous .xmp. That means, for example, if I have:

    "This1stPhotoOfJane.dng" and "This1stPhotoOfJane.xmp"

    and change their names manually:

    "JanePhoto1.dng" and "JanePhoto1.xmp"

    It would not work.

    So is the simple way to do it?

    I have a bunch of files that I forgot to name who have already gone through the raw editor and now I would like to give them a real name as opposed to a single series of numbers they currently have.

    You should be able to bridge, since by default, the file of the side car is hidden. I think he knows enough to rename both.

    Copy the image and the file in a temporary folder, rename it and check that it actually did. If I myself remember copy or film a raw file would also move or copy the file, then it would be a good time to check that as well.

  • How to change display name content in the assignments Panel?

    It sounds like such a simple question, but I've been googling and searching forums 30 minutes now with no luck.  So I was wondering if it is even possible at all.

    How can we change the name of the content in the assignments Panel?  The names given here seem random and our publishers are complaining.  I saw in other proper names beautiful screenshots and tutorials for the stories, but I was not able to understand.  How to change the name of what I've highlighted in the screenshot below?

  • How to change the name of VirtualSwitch without running virtual MAchines of braking?

    Does anyone know how to change the name of the virtual switch (used by VM) without braking the VM running in this cluster?

    The best way to do this without losing network connectivity is add a group of ports with the new name and connect the virtual machines to the new group of port and when the initial group of port is empty remove - remember that it's the port group named not the vswitch.
