I don't want to rename the server, or anything that has something to do
with the server name. Just have a client with the preferred clientID and -
if possible - the preferred client name. If I can't have the client name I
want, I can live with a differently (yet still similar) client name that
has the clientID that's on the tapes I need to scan.
I will try making a new client with the clientID I need to have, and
scanning that way.
Thanks
