Change SEPM Hostname

I need to change the hostname of our SEPM server to comply with new naming conventions on the network (IP address will remain unchanged).

I could not find a KB article that was more for just a simple hostname change.  I did find those that addressed moving to another server with different name/ip...

Is it as simple as just changing the hostname and rebooting the server?

Running SEPM ver 12.1.671.4971 on Server2008R2...80 clients.

Hi,

No worries you can change the host-name of your server machine.

Reboot the server once you change the host-name and run the Management Server Configuration Wizard.

To run Management Server Configuration Wizard Go to Start-->All Programs-->Syamntec Endpoint Protection Manager-->Syamntec Endpoint Protection Manager Tools-->Clcik on Management Server Configuration Wizard.

Hi,

There is possibility that clients may loose connectivity after changing host-name of SEPM

Don't forget to take a backup before doing any changes.
