Change the FactoryTalk Directory server name on a client computer

The
FactoryTalk
 network directory server acts as an electronic address book, to help computers find one another on the network. If the name of the computer hosting the
FactoryTalk
 network directory server has changed, update both the network directory server and all clients computers connected to the server so that they can connect to it.
After updating the name of the
FactoryTalk Directory
 server computer, use the steps below to change the
FactoryTalk Directory
 server name on all client computers connected to the server.
To change the
FactoryTalk Directory
 server name on a client computer
  1. On each participating network directory client computer, go to
    Rockwell Software
     >
    FactoryTalk Tools
    and open
    Specify FactoryTalk Directory Location
    .
  2. At the prompt, log on to the network directory using a
    Windows
     Administrator account.
  3. In
    FactoryTalk Directory
     Location
    , select
    Browse (...)
    .
  4. In
    FactoryTalk Directory
     Server Configuration
    , select
    Remote computer
     and then specify the new computer name for the network directory server.
  5. Select
    OK
    .
  6. When prompted to do so, log on to the network directory.
    If single sign-on is enabled on the computer changing the location of the network directory server ends the single sign-on session. Logging on to the new network directory server establishes new single sign-on credentials for all participating
    FactoryTalk
     products on the computer.
