Additional Server Names

  • Article

I had to rename a server but it would take two weeks to get all the clients to point to the new name. If you go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and create a Reg_Multi_SZ called OptionalNames then put the server names in it, your server will respond to multiple names while you are in transition. Restart the Server service for it to work.
