Retrieve the name of the computer

Hard drive crashed on HP Pavilion.  When the hard drive has been rebuilt computer was given a different name.  When you try to perform a backup disk recovery not all data transfer via due to the change of name of the computer.  Don't remember old computer name.  Is there a log or how to get the old computer name and to rename the computer in the restoration of the order all information?

Hello

No, I can't guess what username you have created before creating the backup you want to restore. The old username may be on the HARD disk. You will need the forensic software to find if it has not been replaced.

I will say this, unless you create images of system with all data, system configuration and user and files when the image has been created, you, as to all users, will have problems restoring files from config data and user.

  • Failed to retrieve the computer with Dell PC Restore by symantec

    I tried to go back to the original Dell configuration (how I got the computer when I bought it) with Dell PC Restore by symantec. When I hit the button is, I get an error saying "not found any recovery point. I am sure that the original configuration is still on my computer on another partition as an image file, because I've never touched, so I do not understand how it can not find this recovery point. Someone an idea? Please

    duketv,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  It seems that if the action that you tried to run was just looking for a saved backup and not trying to reset to default.  You will need to check with Dell that all OEM restore operations are specific to the brand.  This link, you should get the information you need: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?c=us&l=en&s=gen&docid=58E26A65A4388E4FE040AE0AB7E107E3

    Click Start > Control Panel > devices and printer > printer right click and select Properties.

    Select the Ports tab in the printer properties window, and then configure the Port.

  • Can I hold ThisContext go a step and use it in a later step to find the name of the current stage? Error 1 when retrieving the name of the step.

    I am trying to create a generic message using LVOOP logging class.  The recorder would include information on stage during execution (name, sequence, etc.).  I would like to create the message object log and then move it into another object (communication, controller of oven, etc.).  Everyone should get its own copy.  None of this is a problem to date.

    I found ways to gather the necessary information to ThisContext.  However, this only seems to work if ThisContext is spent in running step.  If I want ThisContext in LVOOP, the next step to try to use causes an error 1 "an input parameter is incorrect."  Is it possible to get this kind of information (name, sequence, etc.) without ThisContext in at each stage?  It would be inappropriate to do so, but if necessary I will.  It does not go against LVOOP.

    Summary: Can I hold ThisContext go a step and use it in a later step to find the name of the current stage?  If not, is there an effective way to do this?

    My solution was to store the reference to thread.  At each step, I can retrieve the current context.  This is valid only in a thread, but meets my needs.  I could also move something to a higher level, but it would need to know the thread that interests me in any case.

  • Retrieves the name of the variable

    Hello

    I'm trying to change the OpenG changed? Subvi (see below) so that he will write the new value of the variable sent to 'Variant' if changed on the disk (using the following config VI). To do this, I need to somehow extract the variable name of the variable (any type) which was connected to the entrance of variant of the changed? Sub - VI by VI calling so that I can use it as a key name. Is this possible? This information is still transmitted to the Subvi?

    If the computers aren't on the same network and and/or that the network is not along the NetBIOS name - then you will need to use the IP address or some form of dynamic DNS.  The alternative would be to change your HOSTS file so that you can give the name you want and not have to remember the IP address that is now associated with that name in the HOSTS file.

  • What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart?

    What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart - relating to the registration and identification of network?  Specifically when a computer isn't yet in one area but is still in a working group.  Y at - it show any PC by informing other computers it's name has changed?

    Computers into working groups are actively seeking each other, so if you rename a computer, it will not be shown anything. The restart is to erase the name of origin since the system cache, he will think that it's always the old name until the reboot takes place. Work computers is simply 'shake hands' with each other whenever they need to communicate.

    Computers that are part of a domain are created a 'computer' account that is assigned a random password that changes every 30 days by default automatically. These computer accounts work almost identical to an Active Directory user account, which means that they are not proactive they simply cached credentials with their permissions to provide if / when requested by heritage in the environment.
    Users and computers Active Directory accounts are stored in the NTDS. SAID the database, the backbone of an AD environment. When a computer name changes in one area, it takes the PC restarted simply for the PC. The change of name in Active Directory will replicate throughout the environment based on the settings of replication of this environment.
    I'm too simplify all this, but the general concept is there.

    Thank you.

    Buy a used computer, it's always a good idea to reinstall Windows to restore to condition buy and go from there.  It eliminates any malware content and possible questionable.   In the last semi computers OEM (Dell, Hp, Acer, etc.), there is a recovery partition on the hard drive that can restore your machine bought as a condition.  The manufacturer saves a dollar or two for the supply of the discs.  Usually it's hit a key or combination of keys when the first splash screen appears when you start the computer.  Go to the manufacturer's website, click on the link "Support" and search for "Download" and download the manual for your computer.  It must contain instructions on how to restore it.

  • How can I change the name of my computer that I assigned to Setup?

    I just did a system recovery and have an external hard drive to backup and realized I should have renamed the computer reconfigured slightly differently so I have separated on the external hard drive backups.

    Use the computer name tab in the System Properties dialog box. To find this tab, use one of the following methods:

    • Click Start, right-click my computer, and then click Properties.
    • Click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
    • Click Start, click Control Panel, double-click performance and Maintenanceand then click System.

    Change the name of the computer

    To change a computer name, follow these steps (in light of the foregoing...):

    1. Click the computer name tab, and then click change.
    2. Type the new computer name in the computer name dialog box.
    3. Click OK three times, and then restart the computer.
