Changing Your Servers Name
You can use Server Preferences to change the server’s computer name. It identifies the
server to client computers that are browsing for network file servers, print queues, or
other network resources identified by computer name, rather than by DNS name.
To change the server’s computer name:
m In the Information pane of Server Preferences, edit the Computer Name field.
Specify a name that’s 63 Roman characters or fewer including spaces, and avoid using
=, :, or @. Mac OS X automatically converts the computer name to a form that’s valid
with SMB file sharing.
To change the servers local hostname, use the Sharing pane of System Preferences on
the server. Other computers on the servers local network (IP subnet) can use the
servers local hostname to contact the server. If you change your server’s local
hostname, users of other computers may have to change their bookmarks or other
settings to use the servers new local hostname. For information about using System
Preferences, open it and use the Help menu.
