Rename a Remote Computer
In this lecture I will show you how to rename a computer using PowerShell.
For demonstration purposes I have created another VM. When you initially setup Windows on your VM, Microsoft will name the computer something like "DESKTOP-ABC123."
From Your VM, open PowerShell ISE in admin mode.
Step 1: Get the Current Computer Name using the hostname command.
# Get the current computer name
- Type Hostname
The hostname command is executed, and it retrieves the current computer's name.
Go ahead and copy and paste or type the Rename-computer command into PowerShell
# For Example Rename the computer DESKTOP-ABC123
- Rename-Computer -NewName "VSC3" -Restart
In this next step, We will use the Rename-Computer cmdlet to rename the computer to "VSC3."
The -NewName parameter specifies the new computer name.
The -Restart parameter automatically restarts the computer after the rename. Go ahead and press return.
Step 2: Verify the Computer Name using the Hostname command
Type Hostname and verify that the new computer name is now VSC3
