Updating the HOSTS file
If you do not have a Domain Name Service (DNS) for name resolution, you
need not update the HOSTS file for name resolution. If you do have a DNS
server DNS server, proceed with "Running the Computer Name Sync Utility" on
page 1459.
ATTENTION
1
On the co-resident 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.

Update the file to reflect the new name of the co-resident server.

Incorrectly modifying a host table can cause extensive
