Which expert knows how to change the computer name of the Honeywell PKS R310 server?

Thread Content

I’m using a virtual machine to learn*, and I tried to change the server’s computer name. After making that change, the program could no longer be installed. Steps: 1. In My Computer properties, I changed the computer name, then saved it and restarted the computer ; 2. Use the ServerNameChg tool included with PKS to change the computer name of the PKS database, then restart it ; 3. Modify the hostname in the hosts file ; 4. Go to System in Configuration, modify Network, and reinstall it ; 5. Re-install the System on the Server, modify the Assets again, and then reinstall them ; 6. Go to Strategy Editing, start editing CEE and the controller, then attempt to download it; at this stage, the download fails, with the following warning appearing repeatedly. Below are the methods for modifying KnowledgeBuilder, along with the issues I’ve encountered; I hope experts can help resolve them.

You’re really good; in my opinion, it’s already quite thorough. I guess it’s still probably a network issue

After numerous tests, it seems to be a network issue; however, no matter how much I try to make changes, I still can’t overcome this problem. . . .

When changing the server name in a virtual machine and modifying the network settings, such problems arise. I once changed the server name in the virtual machine: stopped the service, changed the computer name, ran servernamechg, restarted the computer, and then restarted the service; it seemed to work after that. I can’t remember that it’s necessary to change the network name as well

Does the original poster have software for PKS virtual machines? Could you share it? I’ve been learning *PKS as well recently. Thank you! Contact: 645394228@qq.com

We have done it with version R301 here; following the manual, there were no issues. But generally, if a server needs to have its computer name changed, it is recommended to reinstall it. Honey’s official team also does not recommend modifying the name directly through software.

Yes, I’ve given up now. I contacted Honeywell in Tianjin, and they also recommended reinstalling it.
