Because of the popularity of the thread „Changing computer names“ in the German Forum, here also the official Siemens statement: It is an abstract of the “PCS 7 Compendium Part A – Configuration Guidelines” http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/35016996 Changing computer names The computer name cannot be changed once PCS 7 has been installed and the WinCC Explorer has been opened for the first time. If you do change the computer name, you will have to install the computer again (Restore DVD). Experience has shown that making changes to computer names can often cause problems (with the network, communication, etc.). Therefore, the following applies: - Do not change the computer name once Windows and the SQL server have been installed. - If you want to change the computer name for bundle PCs, use the Restore DVD to perform a reinstallation. - If you want to change the computer name for an independently installed PC, reinstall Windows. |
