    We recently upgraded an old NT4 server to a newer machine.
    It was only an application server so i only had to re-install the application and check it was all ok, shut it down, and rename the new server to the old server's name.

    However, i have been asked if we can access the old NT4 server - the only problem is that it still has the old name so i need to change it to avoid a conflict with the new server, but i can't figure out how to change the name of the NT4 machine!

    Anyone help?
