Changing Computer name of SOA Console

We use the SOA to manage our computers, and we would like to change the name of the computer that it currently resides on to a more descriptive name. Currently all the managed clients point to the SOA by computer name, not IP. So, has anyone done this? If I change the computer name will I have to manually go out to each console and change the name of the SOA it connects to, or is there a better option?

Thanks for any help.

Dear Justin,

option 1) Change name, and re-deploy

option 2) Change console settings on each machine

option 3) Leave the name as it is, and you are done

avast! tech support says “Change name and re-deploy”

I hope this helps, sir!

Sincerely,

J.R. Guthrie

Another option would be leaving the DNS records in the DNS server, so you will have two entries in the DNS server pointing to one computer.
