Here are the steps.  Client ID is very important in the renaming.  Make
sure you write down the old Client ID and apply the same ID to the new
name.

Subject: [Networker] renaming / removing clients

Some basic questions about basic operations that don't seem so basic
under Networker:

How do I rename a client?  In our environment, machine names aren't
necessarily static.  More than that, there are often name differences
between Windows netbios names, DNS hostnames, and Network client names
-- sometimes all three of these are different.  Is there a procedure for
cleanly/safely renaming a client?

How do I remove a client?  Or, rather, what information do I need to
keep, maybe outside of Networker, about deleted clients so that if I
need to resurrect the client instance again it would be usable for
restores?  I've been keeping the client-id and the client name.  Is
there anything else I'd need?

Thanks,
Dave
