Renaming a NetWare 5.0 server

[mufka]

I have to fix a Netware 5 network that was setup with the tree, container and one of the servers with the same name. The server has the master replica of the tree. There is one other server with a RW. I need to rename the server because XP clients don't like seeing a tree and server with the same name.

Renaming the server is easy. Just change it in the autoexec.ncf. The problem is with Groupwise and NLS. This server apparently is the licensing server. The server is also running the Groupwise 5.5 PO and MTA. The other server is running gwia and webaccess. What changes will I need to make and where? Will I have to reinstall the gwia and webaccess? What about NLS? Where do I get the snapins for nwadmin to manage groupwise and the NLS? I don't think they are installed.

The latest Snapins should have been installed when you installed your Support Pack (what SP are you running?). Are you running NWAdmin direct from the server? -----------------------------------------------------
