Server Appliance Name
The server appliance name is the name of the server appliance on a network. The server
appliance name must be unique and must meet certain requirements. The new server
appliance name cannot be the same as another computer or the name of a Microsoft
Windows domain.
It is recommended that you use names that are 15 characters or fewer. The server appliance
name can be a maximum of 63 characters but should only contain the numbers 0-9, the
uppercase letters A-Z, the lowercase letters a-z, or hyphens. You may use other characters,
but doing so may prevent other users from finding your computer on the network. If your
network is using the Microsoft DNS server, you can use any characters except periods.
If other networking protocols are installed without TCP/IP, the server appliance name is
limited to 15 characters.
If you specify a server appliance name longer than 15 characters and you want longer
names to be recognized by the Microsoft Active Directory domain, the domain
administrator must enable registration of DNS names that are 16 characters or longer
