Changing Server Name

Before you change the server name, consider the following:

  • If the server is a part of the domain, remove the server from the domain first. For more information on how to do it, see Managing Domain Settings.
  • After you change the name, all services running on the server will be restarted. If you change the name of the backup server that has running jobs, backup or recovery operations performed by these jobs will fail.

If you use the Veeam Host Management web UI, perform the following steps:

  1. In the main menu, click Network.
  2. In the Hostname section, click Edit.
  3. Specify a new server name.
  4. Click OK.
