You can change the name of the computer:

Control Panel > display icon > System > Advanced system settings >

the computer name tab >

Next to rename this computer or change its domain... name > click Edit

NOTE:

Generally, for home use, do not change the name of the Working Group.

===========================================================

You cannot change the name of the built-in account"Administrator".

To create an administrator account on the computer (in C:\Users\) home folder is named how you like - and still use your connection to Microsoft:

  • Create a LOCAL account on the computer
  • Once the account is created >
  • Change the account and change the type of administrator >
  • Log in to the new local account >
  • Windows key > settings > account > sign in with a Microsoft account

  • 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:

  • Want to use JDAPI to change the setting RPRROREPORTSERVER (11g)


    Hello:

    I need to change the RPROREPORTSERVER setting at the form level, through many forms of 11 g. Is it possible to use JDAPI to do this?  Currently, if I want to change blocks or points I start with getBlocks or getItems and iterate through each block and item and set the new values. Y at - it an equivalent syntax for parameters?

    Thank you!

    You could get an iterator for all parameters using getModuleParameters as

    FormModule module = FormModule.open("my.fmb");
    JdapiIterator iter = module.getModuleParameters();
    

    You would then pass through all the settings as you would with your blocks or objects; you want to get a module setting you may edit it like this

    ModuleParameter param = [...];
    if(param.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("your_parameter"))
      param.setStringProperty(JdapiTypes.PARAMETER_INITIALIZE_VALUE_PTID, "your_value");
    

    For more information on the JDAPI check the javadoc:

  • Laptop HP Pavillion 15-p051u: HP Recovery Manager should be able to change the computer creating media?

    I'm doing the original backup set of DVDs for a laptop HP Pavillion (15-p051us) 15. Due to an error, I'm afraid to continue.
    I got to speak with a HP tech person, who helped me to pass the second record to DVD. now, I'm trying to start the burning of the third DVD of backup recovery. When I click on the button to launch the "HP Media creation" I get interrupted with a window which shows:

    ***********************************************
    * User account control *.
    ***********************************************
    *                                                                                          *

    ***********************************************

    I obviously don't want to change the program to backup for me when I'm not finished to make the backup. (As I've noted, two DVD's burned and verified. Four still needed.) But when I click on the button 'No' to say "don't edit my computer now until I finished the last four DVD" disappears from the user account control window and the creation of HP recovery media is not engaged. My first two questions are (1) why my computer wants to interrupt the creation of my 6 DVD recovery until the work is done? (2) it would be safe for me to click on the 'Yes' button or what may cause a fatal error in the backup process? In a note, I would like to report that the person HP with whom I spoke on the phone mentioned the fact that the error can be caused by lower DVD media. To counter this notice I tried three DVD good nine successive State. I used more than a dozen DVDs of this package on another computer. With these, he had no problem with registration, verification or later to read these DVD. If my guess is that it is unlikely three of them failing in the HP computer. I don't think that's the problem. I read through 60 first found elements that were identified when I did a search on the website of HP using the key phrase 'Recovery Manager change'. This has proved a total of 7499 possible Articles, but I looked through 60 without success.

    Answer Yes to user account control. This is the irritating feature of Windows that assume at all times that you don't know what you're doing. HP Recovery is harmless and should have access to the files on hard drive.

    For example, you could get the same question when you try to install the software for a printer, etc. and would answer Yes - you would answer no if a piece of malware slipped on your system and UAC taken he's trying to make changes and pointed out.

  • I want to erase all content on the computer I have dell with windows xp

    Bought a new computer, to reset my LDP to give to a family, but I want to clear all of my content. Thank you

    It depends on what mechanism you have for the restoration of Windows and if you care to donate in working order (I assume you are).

    If you have PC Restore Dell (hidden partition on the hard drive), which allows you to restore the computer to its "fresh coming from the factory" State.  Uninstall all software "free trial", including antivirus and security suites.  Trial periods are no longer valid.  Use the right tool:
    https://www-secure.Symantec.com/Norton-support/JSP/help-solutions.jsp?LG=English&CT=United+States&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&PVID=f-home
    http://service.McAfee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?ID=TS100507
    Then for good measure, carefully clean the free space and soft space with an application like Eraser.

    If you have a real Windows install CD, disinfect the drive with Darik Boot and Nuke and then do a clean Windows install (you will need the drivers from Dell site with Dell's Service number).

  • 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...
