You can also edit the registry keys to fix the name.  That is how we handle the 
problem.

Windows adminsitrators at our site occasionally rename existing
Windows systems. We almost never specify node names in dsm.opt
files for Windows client; we let the client use the machine name
as the node name. When a Windows client is renamed the client
scheduler service continues to use the old node name, presumably
because the node name was recorded in the registry when the service
was created. We have always been able to clean this up by removing
and recreating the service. We did not need to deinstall the client
software or manually remove registry keys.
