Change the Server Name on Netware 4.11

If you need to chanage the name of your NetWare 4.11 server, this is how you do it.

1. Make sure that NDS is synchronized correctly (SET DSTRACE=ON).
2. Change the file server name in AUTOEXEC.NCF of the server.
3. Down the server.
4. On another server, do a RESET ROUTER.
5. Wait five minutes, then reboot the server that has been renamed.
6. Check DSTRACE again to make sure NDS is synchronised.
7. Go into NETADMIN to rename volume objects associated with the server.

The server will now be renamed and the new name synchronised to other servers NDS trees.
