When we upgraded everything on our master server, including hardware, os, 
foundation suite and NBU, we built a new environment with a temporary name, 
migrated over and tried to change to the original master server name.  In 
effect, changing the master server name with NBU on the box.  We worked with 
Veritas for awhile, even though it was technically unsupported.  They were 
gracious enough to really spend time with us trying to get it to work and it 
never did.  We ended up having to completely uninstall and reinstall NBU to get 
the name set up correctly.  Unless you want to completely reinstall...don't 
change the name. It really is embedded far too deep to ever remove.

Unsupported by Veritas!

More trouble than it's worth....easier to live with the old name.
