Hi,  This might work, but VDM's would save you too much time. Also, you have less point of failures on your procedure. All these tools work well, but since they are host based, you always have environment variables that not always are expected. I strongly recommend you to use VDM's.  Gustavo Barreto.
 Folks, I tried and tried and tried to understand the difference between a celerra cifs server compname and netbios name. a) what is the difference between these two. b) When to use a netbios name and when to use a compname or use both? c) I see that the procedure to rename a cifs server name involves creating a netbios name, then rename it and then create compname. Why?.  Please answer the questions as much detailed as possible. Thank you for your time.
