Updating the HOSTS file
If you do not have a DNS server, you must manually update the HOSTS file on
the Contact Center Manager Administration server with the new computer
name. If you do have a DNS server, continue with "Changing the server name in
the Administration tool" on page 1386.
ATTENTION
1 On the Contact Center Manager Administration server, browse to the
HOSTS file provided with the Windows Server 2003 installation in the
following directory: <x>:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
2 Right-click the HOSTS file and open the file with a text editor (for example,
Notepad) to modify the host tables.
Result: The HOSTS file appears in the text editor. The HOSTS file consists
of a list of IP addresses followed by a server name. The HOSTS file in the
following figure is a sample and does not indicate exactly how the HOSTS
file is configured.
3 Update the file to reflect the new server name of the Contact Center
Manager Server.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Incorrectly modifying a host table can cause extensive
network problems. Before you modify host tables, review
the information about hosts in the supporting
documentation for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
