Change computer name of Spotlight Diagnostic server?

david mathein

Are there any problems if I change the name and IP of a diagnostic server?

I'm following the instructions on this page to migrate the connections and works good in my test environment https://help.spotlightessentials.com/enterprise_backend_ds_migrate 

But there are a lot of firewalls involved so I would like to at least change the IP. Can I also change the diagnostic computer name too so it's easier for networking, dns, etc?

    Found the answer, it is no. Or at least not easily.

    In the Spotlight Enterprise 13.6.1 release notes:

    Renaming the Diagnostic Server.
    The Diagnostic Server host cannot be renamed without reinstalling the Diagnostic Server.
    To conserve configuration and history, migrate the Diagnostic Server to another host before the machine is renamed.
