How to Rename an Exchange Server

適用於: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010

DPM uses the computer name as a unique identifier for replicas, recovery points, DPM database entries, reporting database entries, and so on.

You cannot do the following:

  • Change the name of a protected computer and continue protection without disruption.

  • Change the name of a protected computer and associate the existing replicas and recovery points with the new computer name.

We recommend that you do not change the name of a protected computer. If you must change the name of a protected computer, you must complete two tasks:

  • Remove the data sources on the computer from protection (the old computer name).

  • Protect the data source on the computer (the new computer name).
