Change the FactoryTalk Batch Server computer name

The Net registry key contains the
FactoryTalk® Batch
 Server computer name and is used by remote clients to locate the server computer. During a
FactoryTalk Batch
 Client computer installation, the setup program prompts you for the server computer name and then places the name into the Net key. If you change the server computer name, or if you are switching control to another
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server computer, you need to manually change the Net registry key on all remote client computers to point to the server computer.
To change the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server computer name:
  1. Open the Registry Editor.
  2. Select the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on the Local Machine window. Navigate to the
    SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\BATCHCTL\Net
     subkey.
  3. Double-click the
    Server
     registry value.
  4. Change the value data: Server = <
    MachineName
    >, where <
    MachineName
    > is the computer name on which the
    FactoryTalk Batch
     Server is installed.
