Set up computers with names to be used in production
When you install the FactoryTalk Services Platform with FactoryTalk View SE, the
program creates a FactoryTalk account for the current computer, under the Local and
Network FactoryTalk Directories.
As a result, if you rename the computer after installing FactoryTalk View SE or when you
deploy an application, the FactoryTalk Directory will not recognize the new name.
To avoid this problem, it is recommended that you give the application client and server
host computers the names they will use in a production setting, before you install the
FactoryTalk View SE software.
If you must rename a computer and you encounter problems, for assistance, see Rockwell
Automation Answer ID 35169 (for FactoryTalk View SE network applications), or Answer ID
38775 (for FactoryTalk View SE local and Machine Edition applications).
