3. Renaming the Computer

Normally, you rename the computer through the Advanced System Settings of the Computer Properties page. However, these pages aren’t available in a Server Core installation. Instead, you need to rename it with the wmic command. The basic syntax is

wmic computersystem where name="%computername%" rename name = newname

For example, if you want to name the computer SC1, you can use the following command:

wmic computersystem where name="%computername%" rename name = sc1

The output indicates “Method execution successful.”

Tip

You can use the actual name of the computer in place of %computername%; however, the name of the computer starts with a long set of random letters and numbers after “WIN-”. For example, the computer name might be WIN-JMGZRUP4XHF. You can view the computer name with the command hostname.


You must reboot the system after renaming it. The next section shows you how.
