We are having problems with an XServe and ARD’s Task Server function. It may be DNS related. running “changeip – checkhostname” returns this (exact results changed):

[code]server1:~ admin$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Primary address = 123.123.123.12

Current HostName = server1
DNS HostName = serverX.example.edu[/code]

I think what I’d like to achieve is to change the “current Hostname” from “server1” to “serverX.example.edu”…. i’ve tried running several different commands but it won’t change.

I’ve run these commands:

[code]changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 123.123.123.12 123.123.123.12 server1 serverX.example.edu

and

changeip – 123.123.123.12 123.123.123.12 server1 serverX.example.edu[/code]

This is a 10.4.11 Server, in advanced mode, which is not running any Apple services. OD is the only thing that is green and is set for ‘standalone’.

Thanks,
Chris
