  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Is it safe for Plesk to rename the Windows "Computer Full Name" ?

Alex Laforge

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have Plesk 12.5 installed on a Windows 2012 R2 Web Server.
Under the Computer "Properties", I can see that this machine have a default "Computer Name" and a default "Computer Full Name".

I would like to change them to reflect a more useful name :

- Will Plesk run into issues if I change the "Computer Name" and "Computer Full Name", or is it safe ?

Thank you very much :)
 
The following screen capture displays the information I need to change ("Computer Name" and "Full Computer Name").

As far as I know we don't use "Computer Name" and "Full Computer Name" in Plesk. Therefore you can safely change it.

Hi Igor, I did it : No issue : Works Well ;)

Additional question : Can I rename the Root Server Name at the top of the IIS manager ? When I do so, before closing IIS warns me that :
"The connection list has changed. Do you want to save changes?"

:confused: I do not know what this implies (will it change bindings ? break them ?). So for the moment, I decided not to validate this Root IIS Server Name change.
Tell me what you think @IgorG ;)

You can safely rename it too. It shouldn't affect something in Plesk.
