change “current HostName” with changeip

[alternapop]

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

Just want to say… thanks for that reply. I am not good with the command line but that saved me. 🙂
