Let's move on and change the server name. The default name is a bunch of random letters and numbers and I would like to change the name to a local standard. You can view the current hostname by typing the following:
c:\windows\system32\hostnameNow let's use the name ssw-svr15. We will perform this option in the command line by typing the following:
c:\windows\system32\netdom renamecomputer �mputername�0/NewName:ssw-svr15
