Changing the Computer Name of a Thin Client

Administrators can use the Computer Name tab in the System Properties dialog box (Start > Control Panel > System >
Advanced system settings) to change the computer name of a thin client. When changing the computer name, disable
the UWF so that the new computer name can be permanently stored on the thin client. The UWF should remain disabled
through the next boot as information is written to the thin client on the boot after restart. This is especially important
when changing the computer name. For details about disabling and enabling the UWF, see Chapter 4, "2.9 Configuring
UWF (Unified Write Filter)".
Follow the steps below to make the computer name change permanent.
1. Disable the UWF (Unified Write Filter).
2. Change the computer name.
3. Reboot the thin client.
4. Enable the UWF (Unified Write Filter).
5. Reboot the thin client.
