3 Verify/Change Computer Name and Workgroup
Before installation of any additional products, it is required to check the computer name
and the workgroup setting of the Line Computer.
CAUTION
Renaming Computer Name causes Errors
Some products, like Microsoft SQL Server, depend strictly on the computer
name. Renaming the computer name after installation of SQL Server causes it to
stop working correctly if you don’t fix the dependent entries. Therefore, we
recommend deciding for the final computer name before installing SQL Server
and other products.
► Click on Start.
Figure 3-1: Starting System Settings
► Right-click on Computer and select Properties.
NOTICE
Alternative ways to system settings
As alternative, you may use the Windows + Pause key combination to call the
same dialog. This works on all currently known Windows versions.
If you don’t have a keyboard with the Windows key and can’t find the Computer
entry in the start menu, have a look for the My Computer icon on the Desktop
instead.
