Re: System Name Change

HP SIM 4.1 gets its device names from DNS. There is no screen to change the names. If the devices are not in DNS then it is possible to put them in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and then delete and rediscover the devices.

A command to check SIM name resolution is
mxgethostname -n . This will display the device name as it is known to SIM. If it displays an IP address then the device is not in DNS or the hosts file.
